• We are waiting for half an hour, until the reagents of the composition will not act on the stain. Then gently wash off the cleanser with clean water. Wet the wet area with a dry cloth.

In the end, we perform a dry cleaning of the remaining parts of the product and dry it on the shoulders in a well-ventilated room.

Rules for processing woolen garments

You can gently and efficiently clean a woolen coat by hand washing in cool water with the addition of a detergent conditioner.

Before processing, you need to get dust out of the thing and bring out stubborn stains.

• Blurred areas are treated with a mixture of medical alcohol and vinegar. The components are taken in equal proportions.
• Black or dark coat reacts well to brushing with black tea. The cloth is wetted in a fresh, slightly warm composition, after which the problem zone is treated.
• Dried formations should be held over a steam jet, this will facilitate mechanical cleaning.
• Threads and mites that adhere to the surface are easily removed with a velor brush.

Difficulties can arise if the wool is white. If the approach is incorrect, it acquires a yellowish or gray hue. It is possible to prevent this, using specialized gels for wool, diluted with water and fed from a spray.
