+ Papoose Felt Care Instructions: Papoose Felt is made from pure 100% wool and therefore cleaned similarly to wool
+ For dust and other dirt: Due to the scales of the wool structure dust is trapped in the outer layers of the wool and can therefore easily be cleaned. How to clean:* If the article is large and flat it can be vacuumed. * If the article is smaller and soiled gently hand wash it in lukewarm water using wool soap. Dry away from direct sunlight. Do not agitate the article too much during washing as it will promote further felting.
+ DO NOT soak, machine wash or put anything in the drier. This will further felt the article and it will shrink and distort the item.
Some wool facts: Wools is natural and renewable as it grows on sheep. Wool is flame retardant up to 600 degrees C. Wool is biodegradable and can be used as fertilizer due to its high nitrogen content. Wool is non-allergenic and does not promote the growth of bacteria.
