No Wash Club
No Wash Club
Garment care
First rule of the No Wash Club? Talk about it.
Hang it up, let the air do its thing, and wear it again.
Less washing means less water, less energy, less detergent, less wear — and more life from your clothes. PT also says the No Wash Club approach can reduce the carbon generated by machine washing by 25%.
How to freshen your wool
After a few wears, hang your garment somewhere with plenty of fresh air and give it some time. That’s usually all it needs.
Spill something? Don't panic. Wool fibres have a naturally protective outer layer, so many marks can simply be shaken or brushed off. For something more stubborn, spot clean with a damp cloth rather than washing the whole garment.
When it really does need a wash
Sometimes it happens.
If your garment genuinely needs washing, hand wash it gently in tepid water with a small amount of eco-friendly detergent suitable for natural fibres. Avoid the washing machine — heat and agitation can make wool shrink or lose its shape.
Then dry it flat. Wool is stretchy, so hanging it while wet can pull it out of shape. And definitely no tumble drying.
Look after it. Keep it.
Wool doesn't need much fuss, but it does appreciate being stored properly.
Keep it clean and dry between wears, give it some fresh air, and when you're putting it away for longer, store it in the organic cotton bag it came with. Our garments also come with a cedar hanger to help keep moths away.
And don't panic about the odd snag. Often you can gently work the fibres back into place yourself rather than writing the garment off.
The point of all this?
Buy less. Wash less. Wear more.
Looking after your clothes properly means they last longer, cost less over their lifetime and spend less time in the washing machine.
That's the No Wash Club.
