Many are machine washable. However, because of its physical properties,
wool may shrink during washing. As a general rule, if it can be hand
washec, it can be "washed" by soaking in the water. A liquid detergent
is preferred because it dissolves faster in a soak than granulated. Pre-treat
woolens with liquid deterqent. Never use chlorine bleach.
Shake ,out dirt, turn pockets inside out. Soak clothes (see page 6), then
wash thoroughly.
