How does a dry cleaner wash wool sweaters?

Wool is a precious material due to its unique properties, such as shape retention and elasticity, which last for years. Moreover, wool is completely recyclable, making it a sustainable choice. Despite these benefits, wool is also a delicate fabric that cannot simply be thrown into the washing machine with other clothing.

At Opuro, we understand the special care that wool requires, and we have tailored our cleaning process to safely clean all types of wool, such as mohair, vicuña, cashmere, and alpaca. When you bring a wool sweater to us, it first undergoes a thorough inspection. Visible stains or stains that pose a significant risk to the sweater are carefully treated with specialized stain removers. We then wash the woolen garment using eco-friendly detergents that prevent shrinkage and discoloration. At Opuro, you don’t have to worry about shrunken or misshapen wool items, because we take all necessary precautions.

After the cleaning process, the sweater is placed on a suitable hanger. As a valued customer, you will receive a notification via SMS or email to let you know that your sweater is ready for collection, avoiding unnecessary trips.
