⚠️ Precautions

Safety is always #1 — please do not skip over this step
Important precautions:

1. Always spot test your cleaning solution on a hidden part of the fabric to ensure it doesn’t discolor or damage the wool.

2. Be gentle with wool – aggressive scrubbing can cause stretching, pilling, or damage to the fibers.

3. Avoid soaking wool – it can cause shrinkage or distortion of the fabric.

4. Never use hot water on wool, as it can cause shrinkage.

5. Use a white cloth for blotting and cleaning to avoid color transfer onto the wool.

6. Avoid direct sunlight or intense heat sources during drying to prevent discoloration or damage to the fabric.

7. Read the manufacturer’s care instructions carefully before cleaning.

As far as personal protective equipment (PPE), you should not require any specific PPE for this cleaning process as you are working with mild dish soap. However, it can be a good idea to wear apron to keep your clothes clean, and rubber gloves to protect your hands from becoming dry due to extended contact with the soap and water.

Pre-Treatment

Why it’s so important

Pretreatment is crucial for this specific type of stain, mainly because it loosens the dirt particles and makes it easier to remove during the actual cleaning process. Wool fabric, being a delicate material, requires gentle care, so pretreating the stain with a mild solution prevents the need for harsh, potentially damaging cleaning methods later on. Additionally, the blotting action in pretreatment absorbs the excess moisture and prevents the dirt from spreading further or setting deeper into the fabric. This preparatory step is essential to ensure the stain’s thorough removal and to maintain the quality of your wool fabric.

Pre-Treatment Instructions

Pretreatment Instructions for Removing Large and Moderate Dirt Stains From Wool Fabric:

1. Gently shake or brush off any loose dirt from the stained area. (1-2 minutes)
2. Blot the stain with a clean white cloth or paper towel to absorb any excess moisture. Avoid rubbing the stain, as it may spread further into the fabric. (1-2 minutes)
3. Prepare a solution of mild dishwashing liquid and warm water. Mix a few drops of dishwashing liquid with water in a bowl. (1 minute)
4. Dampen a clean white cloth or sponge in the solution, and gently blot the stain from the outer edges toward the center. Avoid saturating the fabric. (3-5 minutes)
5. Allow the solution to sit on the stain for about 5 minutes to loosen the dirt. (5 minutes)
6. Blot the stain again with a clean white cloth or sponge, using gentle pressure to lift the dirt from the fabric. (2-3 minutes)
7. Rinse the area with clean water to remove any soap residue. (1 minute)
8. Blot the damp area with a clean, dry white cloth or paper towel to absorb as much moisture as possible. (1-2 minutes)

These are the pretreatment instructions specifically for removing large and moderate dirt stains from wool fabric. Now, let’s move on to the stain removal steps.

How To Remove This dirt Stain

⚠️ Make sure Pre-Treatment Instructions have been completed before trying to remove this type of dirt stain
———
1. Gather supplies: a soft bristle brush, mild dish soap, a white cloth or sponge, and a towel. (2 minutes)

2. Use the soft bristle brush to gently remove any loose dirt on the surface without damaging the wool fibers. (2-3 minutes)

3. Create a soapy water solution: mix a couple of drops of mild dish soap with a cup of warm water. (1 minute)

4. Soak the white cloth or sponge in the soapy solution then wring out excess water. (1 minute)

5. Apply the damp cloth to the stain and blot from the edges towards the center, making sure not to oversaturate the fabric. (4-5 minutes)

6. Rinely lightly the treated area with a cloth soaked in clean warm water to remove the remaining soap solution. (2-3 minutes)

7. Blot the area with a dry towel to absorb as much water as possible. Place the towel over the spot and apply gentle pressure. (3-4 minutes)

8. Leave the wool fabric to dry naturally. Avoid direct sunlight or heat to preserve the color and texture of the fabric. (Several hours to overnight)

Please note, repeat steps 5-7 if the stain persists after drying. The times indicated are estimates and may vary depending on the nature of the stain and fabric.

Post-Treatment Care + Instructions

Special care instructions for after the dirt stain has been removed

Post-Treatment Instructions:

1. Once completely dried, gently fluff and smooth down the treated area using your hand or a soft bristle brush to restore the natural texture of the wool. (2 minutes)
2. Vacuum the whole item to ensure all residues are removed, and to also refresh the wool fibers. Hold the nozzle a little above the fabric, do not press it down too hard. (5-10 minutes)
3. Check the stained area again. If all traces of the stain are removed, great! If not, repeat the entire treatment process or consider using a professional service for substantial or stubborn stains. (5 minutes)
4. After the stain is entirely removed and the item is clean, proceed with usual care routine as per the manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations. (Variable)

These are the advised post-treatment steps. The drying process between treatments can take several hours to overnight according to the thickness of your wool fabric. Remember to always be gentle with wool, limit the use of heat and harsh chemicals to retain its quality and texture.

Important Notes

Extra thoughts I had, just in case ♥️
———
Here are some additional notes to help you get rid of the stain:

1. It’s best to treat the stain as soon as possible for the greatest chance of complete removal.

2. The process we’ve described may need to be repeated for large or stubborn stains.

3. If you’ve tried the recommended steps and the stain persists, it may be time to consult with a professional cleaner specially experienced in care for wool fabrics.
