🧺 How to Wash and Care for Your Rabbit Wool Socks

(Sleesky Care Guide)

🩶 1. Before Washing

• Turn inside out: Protects the soft outer fibers and helps remove trapped oils or dirt.
• Separate fabrics: Don’t wash with jeans, towels, or rough materials that can cause pilling.
• Spot clean if needed: Gently dab stains with a damp cloth and mild soap before washing.

💧 2. Hand Wash (Recommended)

The best way to clean your rabbit wool socks is by hand washing.

You’ll need:

• A basin or sink
• Cold or lukewarm water (below 30°C / 86°F)
• Mild wool detergent or baby shampoo

Steps:

1. Fill the basin with cool water.
2. Add a small amount of wool-safe detergent (no bleach or softeners).
3. Submerge the socks and swirl gently — do not wring or twist.
4. Let soak for 5–10 minutes.
5. Rinse thoroughly with clean, cool water until all soap is gone.

🧼 3. Machine Wash (If Necessary)

If using a washing machine:

1. Place socks in a mesh laundry bag.
2. Choose the “Wool” or “Delicate” cycle.
3. Use cold water only.
4. Add a mild wool detergent.
5. Do not tumble dry or use a high spin cycle — this can cause shrinking or felting.

🌬️ 4. Drying

• Never wring out the socks. Instead, press gently between towels to remove excess water.
• Lay them flat on a clean, dry towel in a shaded, ventilated area.
• Avoid direct sunlight, hanging, or dryers — heat can damage the fibers and change the shape.

🧴 5. Extra Care Tips

• No fabric softeners: They coat fibers and reduce breathability.
• Store flat, not hanging: Prevents stretching.
• Protect from moths: Use a breathable bag or cedar balls.
• Wash only when needed: Rabbit wool naturally resists odors and stays fresh longer.

✨ Quick Summary

• Wash: Hand wash in cool water with gentle wool detergent. Avoid hot water or harsh soaps.
• Rinse: Rinse carefully — don’t wring or twist.
• Dry: Lay flat on a towel to dry. Keep out of sunlight and dryers.
• Store: Flat, cool, and dry. Avoid hanging or damp spaces.
