Take good care of your sweater
so it takes good care back of you
CARE INFO
Stitch by stitch and row by row – that’s how SALANIDA knits are born to life. We carefully select the highest quality natural yarns from which knitted products are super soft, featherweight, hypoallergenic and itch free.
We believe sustainability comes first in caring for the things we already own. We always say that wool is just like our own hair - it needs to be daily combed, washed with quality shampoos, and shaped with heat. Very similar rules apply when caring for your woolen products. Take good care of your sweater so it takes good care back of you.
Before washing
CHECK CARE LABELS. Always check the inside care label for specific instructions as it varies for different styles and yarn compositions.
LET IT BREATH. To extend the life of your knitted garment, we recommend to wash it less frequently and air it put after use. Hang your knitwear in fresh air - it refreshes the clothes and reduces unpleasant odors.
REMOVE ODOURS. If you feel like you miss the smell of freshly washed clothes, you can use a refreshing spray. It removes unpleasant smells and refreshes your clothes.
SPOT CLEANING. Clothes are often destroyed due to over-washing as each time the fibers weakens this is why we recommend to remove the stain as soon as possible.
STEAM AND IRON. It is often enough to shape your knitwear to it's initial position using a steamer or iron. For example, stretched knees in knitted pants can easily return to their original form during steaming and ironing. Allow the garment to fully dry and completely cool down before wearing it again. The steam also reducing bacteria.
REMOVE PILLING. Natural yarns are sometimes prone to pilling. It is not a fault of a garment and can be easily resolved by using a pill-removing device or a wool comb.
KNOW YOUR WASHING MACHINE. It would be such a shame to have your favorite knits ruined by a harsh washing cycle, so it is important that you know your washing machine well.
STORING. It is best to store knitted garments folded so they stay in shape.
*This is a recommended care guide for your clothes. SALANIDA can in no way be held responsible for any damages that may occur in washing.
