Coat pretreatment

    Read the care information on the coat tag. You should always read the information on the sewn-in label of the garment before washing it, as it gives precise instructions on how to do this. Check the label for any special instructions.

    • Is it permissible machine wash or only manual?
    • Which wash cycle should you use on your washing machine (if allowed)?
    • What detergents can I use?
    • Are there any other special instructions?
    • What are the directions for the drying process?
    • Is there a mark on the label stating that dry cleaning only?

  1. Brush your coat. Take a clothes brush and gently brush your coat to remove dirt, dust, dirt, crumbs, and other accumulated dirt. To prevent the fur from frizzing and fluffing, brush in the direction of the line thread from the collar to the bottom of the coat.

To spot-clean them, apply a small amount of a liquid wool detergent, such as Laski, to each stain. Gently rub the detergent into the stain with your fingers until the dirt comes off.

    Handwash

    1. Wash the tub. Wash the tub soapy water and a sponge. Then rinse off the remaining soap clean water... This will provide yourself with a clean space for further work and prevent the dirt from the bathtub from transferring to the coat.

      • If you don't have a bathtub, wash the large sink or basin.

    2. Fill the tub with water and detergent. When the bath is clean, plug the drain plug and fill it with lukewarm water. While the water is still drawing up, add 30 ml of liquid detergent, such as Laski or baby shampoo... Wait for the bathtub to have enough soapy water to submerge your coat.

      Soak your coat. Submerge your coat in soapy water. Keep it warm until it gets wet enough to stop floating. Leave the coat to soak for 30 minutes. Run your hands over the entire surface of the coat so that the soapy water soaks the fabric completely.

      • Pre-soaking the coat will prevent shrinkage.

    3. Wash your coat. After an hour or two of soaking, rub your fingers over the stained areas of the coat to remove any stubborn dirt. Then rinse the coat in the same water to loosen dirt and other impurities from the coat.

    4. Rinse your coat in clean water. Drain the dirty, soapy water from the bathtub. Place your coat temporarily in a large bucket. Rinse the bathtub and refill it barely warm water... Return the coat to the tub of clean water. Rinse your coat to remove any soap and dirt.

      Part 3

      Machine wash

      1. Place the coat in a laundry bag. The tag may say machine washable. Before washing, you must turn the coat inside out and place it in a mesh laundry bag. This will protect the wool from machine friction and snags.

        • If you don't have a large enough laundry bag, you can use a large pillowcase instead. Place the coat in a pillowcase and tie a loose knot around the opening.
        • If the coat is too big even for a pillowcase, wrap it in a sheet and tie it over the coat.

      2. Fill the washing machine with water and detergent. Set the washing machine to fill the drum with lukewarm water. While the water is still drawing, add 30 ml of a gentle or special detergent for woollens (for example, Laska or shampoo for wool). Wait for the drum to fill with soapy water.

        • Pre-soaking the wool coat is an important step in the washing process itself. If you have a front-loading washing machine and it is not possible to soak a coat in it, wash it by hand, or pre-soak the coat in the bathtub and then transfer it to the washing machine.

      3. Soak your coat. Immerse your coat in the washing machine drum directly in soapy water. Sink it so that the fabric gets wet and the coat sinks. Leave the washing machine door open and let the coat soak for 30 minutes.

        • Make sure the temperature of the water in the washing machine is set to barely warm, otherwise the coat may shrink.
        • When the wash is complete, remove the coat from the washing machine, remove it from the washing bag and turn it right-side up.
