When it comes to caring for tweed (aka woolen) garments, following certain tips can help extend the life of your garment and preserve its appearance. Here are a few key tips:
1. Dry cleaning: Dry cleaning is the best way to clean woolen garments. Compared to washing with water, dry cleaning is gentler and less likely to damage the fabric. It is recommended to choose a reputable dry cleaner for cleaning
2. Do not expose to the sun: Avoid exposing woolen garments to the sun for a long time to prevent the fabric from fading and yellowing. When drying, it is recommended to use a hanger to block direct sunlight
3. Wool brush cleaning: Use a wool brush regularly to remove the wool balls on the surface of the clothes. Choose a fine, delicate and soft brush to protect the clothes
4. Dust removal tools: Equipped with a small cleaner or a cloth wool machine, remove dust and fine sand on the clothes at any time
5. Use the dryer less: If you need to use a dryer, you should control the low temperature to avoid high temperature causing the clothes to deform or the color to fall off
6. Avoid water stains: Make sure to rinse thoroughly after washing to avoid water stains that damage the fabric
7. Moisture protection: When not worn often, it should be stored in a ventilated and dry place after washing
8. Storage tips: Pay attention to insect and moisture protection during storage, and fold the clothes instead of hanging them for storage
9. Pay attention to details: Avoid friction between woolen clothes and rough fabrics, grass or metal objects
