Mohair
Mohair is an animal fiber made up of thin hairs from the angora goat. Mohair has a natural shine and is therefore also called the diamond fiber. The material absorbs paint excellently and does not pill, so that colors remain beautiful for a long time and the clothing lasts a long time.
Wash garments inside out as much as possible and wash delicate fabrics in a laundry bag. For colored garments, use a colored laundry detergent. White detergent may contain bleach and can only be used for pure white laundry. Certainly during the first washes, garments can give off color, so only wash with similar colors.
Tumble dryers use a lot of energy, can shrink your garment and cause faster wear. Dry your garment as much as possible on a drying rack with indirect sunlight. This is not only more sustainable, but you can also enjoy your garments for longer.
The washing instructions described are guidelines for the materials in their purest form. Before washing your garment, always check the washing label on the inside of the garment first.
Mohair has a smooth fiber that allows dust and dirt to be largely removed by shaking it out. Preferably hang the garment to air out. If desired, wash in a laundry bag as much as possible to prevent wear. Wash at a maximum of 30 degrees on a wool wash program on the lowest spin setting.
Dry mohair preferably lying on a drying rack. Never put in a tumble dryer.
Iron mohair at a low temperature with a moist cloth. A handheld steamer can also help get rid of the worst creases.
Mohair can be treated with liquid detergent applied directly to the stain. Rinse manually and then wash as directed.
