EVERYDAY CARE
STORAGE
Blankets, cherished for their comfort and warmth, face numerous threats even within the confines of your closet. Here's a focused examination of these challenges and effective strategies to preserve your blanket's quality.
MOISTURE (FUNGAL DAMAGE)
Excessive humidity in closets can lead to fungal growth, jeopardizing the integrity of your blanket.
Store your blanket rolled or folded only when entirely dry and aired out, and in a cool, dry place. Ensure adequate ventilation in your closet to mitigate moisture buildup.
Pests Damage
Moths, silverfish, and carpet beetles pose a threat as they feed on natural fibers, causing damage to blankets.
Regularly inspect closets for signs of pest infestation. Employ natural deterrents such as cedar blocks or lavender sachets. Seal blankets in protective containers or vacuum storage bags to deter pests.
HEAT DAMAGE
Sunlight exposure or proximity to direct heat sources can cause fading and damage to blankets.
Ensure that there is no direct sunlight or other heat source in close proximity to storage area as the heat may damage the fibers.
EVERYDAY CARE
routine care
LAMBHILL CO.'s wool blankets, prized for their luxurious texture and exceptional warmth, require meticulous care to preserve their quality and longevity. Below is a detailed guideline to ensure optimal maintenance of your wool blanket.
AVOID ABRASION WHEN WET
Wool fibres are particularly vulnerable when wet, making them susceptible to damage from abrasion. It is crucial to refrain from any form of abrasive treatment such as brushing, hand brushing, fibre pulling, or trimming while the blanket is wet. Such treatment can lead to irreversible harm to the delicate fibres.
Gentle Removal of Excess Fibers
After your wool blanket is completely dry, lightly hand-brush it to remove any excess fibres. It is important not to pull on loose fibres, as this can result in unnecessary stress and potential damage to the blanket.
Management of Lint Build-up
Lint accumulation is a common occurrence with wool blankets. To address surface-level pilling, use a soft lint roller with minimal adhesive to gently remove lint build-up or, alternatively, lightly shear the blanket with a size 3 or above trimmer. This process helps maintain the appearance and texture of the blanket without causing damage to the fibres.
REGULAR AIRING OUT
To prevent odours and maintain freshness, it is advisable to regularly air out your wool blanket by hanging it in a well-ventilated area. However, ensure the blanket is completely dry before hanging to prevent any damage to the structural integrity of the blanket and consequentially warp the blanket’s shape.
WASHING INSTRUCTIONS
While wool blankets do not require frequent washing, it is essential to spot clean any stains promptly. If washing is necessary, proceed with caution and follow only the specific guidelines provided in our Clean & Dry- Digital Manual. Prior to washing the entire blanket, treat stains with a suitable stain remover to maximize the effectiveness of the cleaning process.
AVOID IRONING
It is imperative to avoid ironing wool blankets, as excessive heat can damage the fibres and alter the texture of the fabric. Instead, allow the blanket to naturally de-wrinkle over time with regular use and proper washing techniques.
