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.
Wool, cashmere, alpaca, and other fine wools require special care. They can be sensitive to water, heat, friction, and improper drying methods.
At OPURO, we therefore first examine the care label, the fiber composition, the construction, and any stains. Based on that, we determine which cleaning method is best suited for the garment.
Are you unsure whether a wool sweater, cashmere sweater, or other delicate knitwear can be safely cleaned? Feel free to bring it in. We’ll assess the item first and discuss which treatment is appropriate.
At OPURO, we understand the special care that wool requires, and we take into account the specific properties of wool types such as mohair, vicuña, cashmere, and alpaca in every treatment. 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 wool garment using eco-friendly detergents tailored to the fiber and the treatment. At OPURO, we take the necessary precautions to minimize the risk of shrinkage, distortion, and color change as much as possible.
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.
