Wool Slippers

A little spot cleaning and regular airing out are usually all your slippers need.

1

Spot clean when needed

Use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid soaking the slipper.

2

Air dry only

Never use a dryer or direct heat—this can shrink or damage the wool.

3

Let them breathe

Rotate pairs or leave them out overnight to keep them fresh.


Do

  • Clean lightly and occasionally
  • Let them air out regularly
  • Store in a dry place

Don’t

  • Machine wash
  • Put in the dryer
  • Fully soak in water
