Introduction

Sweaters must be hand-washed to prevent warping. Fortunately, hand-washing is easy. Follow these easy steps to a clean sweater. If you have a stain, check out our spot-washing guide.

We recommend a detergent with as few chemicals as possible, such as Seventh Generation, which is linked in the tools section of this guide.

    • Fill the sink with cool water.

    • Never wash a sweater in hot water as it can cause the sweater to shrink.

    • Add some gentle liquid detergent to the water.

    • Each brand of detergent is different, so you'll need to read the label on your bottle to know how much to add. For most soaps, a tablespoon is plenty.

    • Submerge the sweater in the soapy water.

    • Gently press down to make sure that the entire sweater is in the water.

    • Allow the sweater to soak for 15-20 minutes.

    • Drain the sink and rinse the sweater, squeezing it gently in your hands to release all the extra soap and water.

    • Never twist or wring out a sweater as this can distort the fibers.

    • Place a towel on a waterproof surface.

    • Lay the sweater out on the towel.

    • Gently lay the sweater flat, lightly stretching it to its proper size.

    • Do not over stretch the sweater.

    • Lay the sleeves out flat, gently stretching them to their proper size.

    • Allow the sweater to lay undisturbed until it is dry.

    • Never hang-dry a sweater, as it can strech or warp the fibers.
