Hair loss
A new mohair knit will shed some hair at first, but you shouldn't be alarmed. This is helped by using the product, airing and brushing and washing. Be prepared for 5% loose hair coming out of the mohair knit in the first wash.
Air often, wash rarely
Mohair effectively repels dirt and cleans itself, so mohair knitwear does not need to be washed often. The mohair product should be aired outside with moist air, which will cause the fiber to swell and remove odors and traces of use, and at the same time the product will be refreshed.
Your sweater will last as good as new and beautiful for a long time if you maintain and store it correctly.
The rule of thumb is to ventilate often and wash rarely. Let the sweater rest properly
between uses.
Stain removal
Remove any stains locally with fresh bile soap or walnut soap.
Wash if necessary
If necessary, hand wash the mohair product inside out at 30 degrees. Use a gentle, neutral detergent intended for washing wool. Handle the knit with care. Do not soak, wring, rub or crumple the sweater strongly. Rinse in several rinses. After washing, do not spin, but squeeze out the water by rolling the sweater inside a thick terry towel. Do not tumble dry.
Shape the sweater when it is damp and dry horizontally in an airy place, for example on a towel, not in the sun or on a radiator.
Maintenance
After drying, you can brush the sweater so that the long mohair fibers come out beautifully again. You don't need to iron the mohair knit, but if you do, iron it from the wrong side with a steam iron or through a damp cloth at a temperature of 150 degrees.
Mohair brush
By brushing the long mohair fibers of the mohair knit straighten and restore the fibers beautifully. It works like brushing your own hair. A mohair brush is safe when used correctly. The knitwear is placed on a flat surface and brushed with gentle parallel strokes in the lengthwise direction of the knitwear. So no
never sideways and back and forth.
Preservation
Preferably store the sweater in an airy pleat on a shelf horizontally. Close the zippers and buttons. Especially long, thick sweaters stretch on a hanger.
Protect your sweaters from pests. ITGOES mohair products have not been treated with pesticides or any surface treatments, so their correct storage is important. When you don't use the sweater for a while, protect it from pests by storing it tightly in a plastic bag or plastic box with a lid.
