How to Wash Merino Wool
At Merino.Tech, we’re big fans of Merino wool for its natural ability to resist odors and manage moisture. Whether you're out running, cycling, hiking, skiing, or just enjoying everyday adventures, our Merino wool gear helps keep you dry and comfortable all day. With the right care, your Merino wool pieces will stay in top shape, wash after wash. Here’s how to care for them:
01
Turn your garments inside out to protect the outer fibers.
02
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cool or lukewarm water to maintain softness and prevent damage.
03
Use a mild detergent — avoid bleach and fabric softeners to preserve the natural qualities of the wool.
04
Air dry flat to keep the shape intact. For faster drying, you can tumble dry on low heat, but flat drying is always the gentlest option.

How to Care for Merino Wool to Preserve Its Longevity
Merino wool is a natural material that combines exceptional functionality and comfort. To maintain its remarkable properties over time, it's essential to care for your garments properly. Washing at low temperatures, using gentle detergents, and drying carefully will help preserve the softness, shape, and excellent thermoregulation of your Merino wool pieces.
Care Tips for Merino Wool Garments for Maximum Comfort
Your Merino wool garments deserve the best care. Regular washing in cool water and avoiding harsh detergents helps keep the fabric's structure and natural qualities intact. Remember not to use tumble dryers and store your clothes in a cool, dry place — this will ensure your pieces stay in great condition for many seasons to come.
Odor Management with Merino Wool
Merino wool naturally absorbs and releases moisture, which helps manage odors effectively. Just as the wool in sheep's coats regulates moisture and odor, it works the same way in our garments. For optimal care and to maintain the natural benefits of Merino, we recommend following the specific instructions on your garment's care label. This ensures your Merino pieces stay fresh and perform at their best, season after season.
