How to wash your Ruskovilla clothes sustainably

We all love soft, comfortable and natural clothes. Ruskovilla selects only the best natural materials from certified suppliers. Throughout our production and manufacturing processes the natural qualities of organic wool and silk remain at their best. To maintain your garment in fresh and perfect condition, please follow the wash & care recommendations below.

ORGANIC MERINO WOOL & MERINO WOOL FLEECE

Air frequently – wash seldom – protect against moths

Wool is self-cleaning: it reacts with oxygen in the air and neutralizes skin excretions. Frequent airing reduces the need to wash your garment. Wash wool preferably by hand in lukewarm water. Use a neutral washing liquid for wool and silk. You can also wash your wool garment with a hand-wash program at 30 °C in a washing machine. Stains disappear best with a natural soap such as gall soap (Gallseife). Shape the garment whilst damp. The garment shrinks a little in the first wash. Protect wool against moths and beetles. When not in daily use, store it in a sealed plastic bag. The bag that comes along with each Ruskovilla product is ideal for storage.

ORGANIC SILK

Silk should be aired, do not however leave your clothing for a long time awaiting a wash. Silk should preferably be hand-washed in lukewarm water. Use a neutral washing liquid for wool and silk.
