Caring for your products
How do I protect against moths?
Moth protect you garments by using a natural lavender sachet which can be placed in a drawer with your garments or a clothing protector, which can be hung in your wardrobe, that is lavender scented.
What detergent should I use?
Only use detergents that are recommended for woollen products (Woolmark endorsed detergent) as they have the correct chemical balance to gently care for your garments.
How do I care for my garment?
First check the care label on your garment. All Kangaroo Island Wool garments have a care instruction label. All Kangaroo Island Wool garments are Total Easy Care so they can be easily machine washed and tumble dried unless indicated otherwise on the label. Turn your knitwear inside out, separate dark and light colours before washing on wool (gentle) cycle 40c or cold wash. Spin. Line dry in shade or tumble dry on low heat. Warm iron. Never use bleach. Use wool approved detergent. Dry cleanable.
How do I remove stains?
Depending on the stain different methods will be used, but as a general recommendation try to wash out the stain with cold water as soon as possible whilst it is still fresh. Cold water is recommended as hot water may set the stain then use woolwash. Oil based stains you may try baby powder.
Can I get some thread to fix my garment?
Unfortunately it is not in our capacity to supply thread.
