Thank you for choosing Janus wool products! To preserve the quality and extend the life of your items, follow these simple tips:


1. Wash with care

  • Wash wool products only when necessary. Wool has natural antibacterial properties and does not need to be washed often.
  • Always use the water temperature recommended on the care label and choose a gentle detergent for wool.
  • Wash on the wool program or gentle cycle in the washing machine, or hand wash with gentle pressure.

2. Avoid fabric softener

  • Fabric softener can damage the wool fibers and reduce breathability and elasticity. Therefore, avoid fabric softener when washing.

3. Drying

  • Let wool products dry flat, preferably on a towel to maintain their shape.
  • Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources such as radiators, as this can cause shrinking or deformation.

4. Avoid hanging wool

  • When not using your wool products, store them flat in the closet. Avoid hanging them on hangers, as this can cause them to lose their shape.

5. Brushing and airing

  • Wool garments can benefit from a light brushing after use to remove any lint and dust.
  • Air out the products regularly to freshen them up, especially between washes.

6. Removing lint

  • Lint can occur on wool garments, but it can easily be removed with a lint remover or a roller brush.

7. Gentle storage

  • Store your wool garments in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as wool needs to breathe to maintain its quality.
