The fashion industry has seen a huge demand for intricately designed, personalized and handcrafted woolen outfits in the last few years. The expansion of social media networks has helped fashionistas across the globe have access to high-value products which are not only limited edition but also come at a high price. From virgin wool to expensive Cashmere, Mohair and Alpaca- these clothes are sensitive to extreme conditions and mishandling. Woolens are the most fragile yet highly demanded fashion pieces during this time of the year. While these priced possessions come with washing instructions and precautions, you often find yourself confused and concerned before popping it into the washing machine. The following tips and tricks are exclusively handpicked by Voltas Beko, in interaction with ABP Live. (Image Source: Getty)

Step 1: Brush out the uneven ends: Special clothing items need special attention and cleaning routine. Before you wash your woolens, gently brush out or pat any wrinkles from your garment. This will ensure the threads of the woolens do not get stuck in the drum of the washing machine or to buttons/hooks of the other clothing item. (Image Source: Getty)

Step 2: ‘Mix and match’ but don’t mix and wash: Woolens are extremely different from the fabrics we use on a regular basis like cotton, polyester and hosiery. They are intricate and hand-knitted thereby need a different cleaning schedule. Ensure you do not wash your woolens with other fabrics that require different water temperature, detergent and wash duration. Always wash your knitted clothes separately, preferably before washing your regular clothes to avoid cross staining or detergent stains. (Image Source: Getty)

Step3: Let the stain not strain you: One of the biggest challenges with sweaters is getting rid of tough stains from food spillage and brushing against dirty surfaces. As the fibers of woolen clothing are intertwined, it can be a very difficult task to clean stains spilled from your favorite cup of coffee, soups and hot chocolate! Voltas Beko Washing Machine comes with an advance soaking process and double waterfall that gets into all nooks and corners of your clothes after allowing time for the detergent to tackle the stain before wash.

Step 4: Handle with care: Just like all handcrafted materials woolen are sensitive to sudden tugs and pulls at the fabric. While it is advisable to wash your woolens with water, doing so regularly will reduce the life-span of the product. Hence, Voltas Beko washing machine offers a special Air Therapy ™ that uses warm air circulation, to make your clothes become ready-to-wear again. (Image Source: Getty)

Step 5: Use sunlight to get rid of odor: Woolens are relatively thick in design and can entrap smells and germs collected from various places or an unclean wardrobe. Lack of sunlight during winters and damp environment can further lead to a lingering smell that might cause discomfort or allergies. Hence, it is recommended to let your woolens bask in mild sunlight for a few hours to restore its original fragrance. Moreover, the Hygiene+ feature of Voltas Beko washing machines allows 20 to 90 degrees super rinsing cycles that remove pet allergens, mites, bacteria, fungi and pollens. (Image Source: Getty)

Step 6: Don’t forget to stretch: Often times, regularly used woolens might continue to shrink to a point you cannot fit into them after repeated washes. If you find a similar pattern in your woolens, you can take a tub of lukewarm water, add some fabric softener and soak for a couple of minutes. Lukewarm water will help the fibers relax and stretch freely to a desirable size. Gently pull your woolens to original size and dry on a flat surface. (Image Source: Getty)

Last but not the least, do not forget to enjoy the winters with some snuggly woolens and yummy winter treats. (Image Source: Getty)
