We let you skip the trip to the mall, now you can skip the dry cleaner and wash your sweaters at home.
There are no rules to how often you have to wash your sweater, but we recommend several wears before washing, like your jeans.
Just follow the easy steps below for both hand and machine wash options, as well as a unique drying method, to keep your sweaters fresh and in tact.
1. Turn your sweater inside out.
2. Place it in a pillowcase of a similar color that you know does not bleed.
3. Use a gentle detergent without bleach or perfumes. Organic detergents, or detergents made for children’sclothing work well.
4. Wash the sweater in the pillowcase with cold water on the delicate setting.
5. Don’t wring or twist water out of sweater upon removal. Gently gather your sweater into a ball and press the excess water out of it.

1. Lay your sweater on a clean flat surface. Fold the sweater in half over on top of itself, making sure the sleeves lay perfectly on top of each other.
2. Take the sleeves and fold them over once again towards the body of the sweater, but remaining straight and creating a diagonal line from shoulder to elbow. See photo below.
3. Slide the sweater between a thick white plastic hanger with no indentations (this will leave marks!). Make sure the sweater is balanced on both sides and fold.
4. Take the side that has the sleeves/cuff and fold it half over the hanger, so the cuff are now on the opposite side of the hanger.
5. Hang and let dry! It will take about 4-6 hours for most sweaters. Allow extra time for a heavier weight sweater.
