A wool coat is a very warm, comfortable and useful garment. It was often used by those who lived in cold, damp climates or those who worked out at sea. Washing your wool coats is a good way to preserve and keep them clean.

Usually, you can wash a wool coat by yourself. It mostly depends on the percentage of wool in the coat and the manufacturer’s instructions. However, some wool coats may be safely washed by hand or machine.

First and very important step is to carefully read the manufacturer’s label, located on the inside of the coat.

To wash a wool coat use a wool-safe liquid detergent. Use the amount suggested on the container label.

You should fill a sink with warm water, add detergent and put your item in the sink. Allow it to soak for about 5 minutes and then put into a sink full of clean, cool water to rinse.

Squeeze the excess water out and allow the item to dry lying on a flat surface.

Keep the coat away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not dry a wool coat in the dryer. Your coat may shrink or the shape may become distorted.
