How to keep your alpaca clothes looking good for a long time
Your alpaca clothes that you have only worn once do not necessarily need to be washed. If you haven't spilled anything on it or done any sweaty sports in it, it is often enough to air it out thoroughly.
Your favourite item is best washed by hand. You can use lukewarm water (max. 30°C) and wool detergent in the sink or bathtub. Please avoid rubbing your alpaca products, this can roughen the fibres. Note that you should not use fabric softener and not bleach your alpaca products. Rinse well at the end and then gently squeeze out the water. Avoid wringing your alpaca clothes.
We recommend washing your alpaca products by hand, but if you still want to machine wash, be sure to choose the wool programme or a particularly gentle wash cycle with the lowest temperature and no spin cycle.
Please do not use a dryer. Place a large terry towel on your clothes horse and place your alpaca pieces on this towel. From time to time you should turn your alpaca clothes so that both sides dry. If necessary, you should also replace the towel with a dry one. Flat drying will also prevent wrinkles on your products. From time to time, turn your alpaca garments over.
We recommend that you not iron the alpaca garment directly, as the heat can damage the product in the long run. What you can do to remove the wrinkles: hold the iron about 15 cm away from the product and move the steam towards the product. Wait for some time until the steam of the iron does the work.
After washing, never hang up your alpaca clothes. They will become distorted and hang crookedly on you. Even when dry, you should not hang your alpaca products. Always try to store your alpaca products horizontally and stow them in your wardrobe. This way they keep their shape and stay beautiful for a long time.
To prevent moths, use cedar wood, lavender or other products in your wardrobe. But never lay these products on top of your clothes.
