Clean and care for a yoga mat or carpet made of new wool. Here you will find useful care instructions for your new wool carpet.
New wool is a natural product that regenerates in the air. It is therefore advisable to regularly air a yoga mat made of new wool. Please note the following care instructions so that you can enjoy your yoga mat for a long time.
1) Wash the yoga mat in the washing machine
You can wash the entire mat in a washing machine. To do this, use the cold wool cycle of your machine. If the carpet does not fit in your small washing machine, we recommend a laundry center with extra-large washing machines with a washing volume of 15 or 20 kg. After washing, the yoga mat is bright white and fluffy again.
2) Brush out stubborn stains with a wire brush
For very stubborn stains, we recommend brushing them out with a steel brush. In this way, you can smooth out the pile again after washing it in the washing machine. Since many steel brushes are too coarse, we recommend a finer file brush.
3) Allow carpets to freeze out in the snow
Like other carpets, the new wool carpet can be laid in the snow in winter and then be beaten out. This generally works at sub-zero temperatures in winter.
4) Dab small stains with wool detergent
If there is only a small stain on the white new wool, you can simply dab it out on a sponge with wool detergent. The blotting can be extended somewhat to the point of scrubbing properly.
