Wool holds odors, so clean regularly.
Tips & Tricks by Laundry Zone

Wool (Animal Fibers)

Common Types: Cashmere, Merino, Mohair, Virgin Wool, Angora,

Source: Animal hair, such as from a sheep, goat, alpaca, or rabbit

Benefits: Very warm, great to wear in cooler temperatures
Lighter or tropical weight fabrics were developed so wool can be worn
year-round.
Very durable fabric

Precautions: Holds odors, so clean regularly.

General Care: Usually drycleanable in any solvent
If hand washing, dunk the fabric, don't twist or wring
To minimize shrinkage, do not machine wash in regular cycles.
Do not tumble dry. Air dry only.

Tips: Insects love wool fibers, and stains are like an added treat for them. Think of it as dessert after a great meal. So clean wool before storing when the season is over to minimize insect attack, and store properly.

Does Drycleaning Shorten the Life of Garments?

Nope, quite the contrary, - frequent cleaning prolongs the life of a garment.
Not only do stains set with age, making the garment unwearable, but ground-in dirt and soil can act as an abrasive, causing rapid wear of fibers. Also, insects are attracted to soiled clothes (particularly to food or drink stains) and will eat holes in the fabric.

That said, you should be aware of one part of the clothes care process which can cause an appearance change, particularly with fabrics such as wool gabardines.
Over-pressing, which usually results from not changing foam pads on presses frequently enough, can cause a flattened appearance, to the point of having a glazed, shiny appearance on gabardines.

Knit Hanger Humps

We've all seen people walking down the street with hanger humps on their
shoulders - don't let it happen to you! Knit garments should be folded and
placed over the bar of the hanger, not hung from the shoulders. The weight of
the fabric pulls the material down, which causes hanger humps and can stretch
heavier knits out of shape.

What to toss:
1- Clothing you have outgrown (Believe me, if you haven’t lost the 20 pounds that you promised to lose on New Year’s Eve three years ago, you aren’t going to lose them.)
2- Pantyhose that have a run in a visible spot. Even if you are desperate, you are still going to switch the skirt for a pair of slacks and grab a pair of socks.
3- Stained clothing, which have refused to bow down to the magical powers of the newest stain-removing agent, are never going to appear on your body outside of your home.
4- The t-shirt that uour friend left at your home the last time he was there two years ago needs to find a new home.
5- The sweater that itches because it is made of wool and you are allergic to wool.
7- The ugly scarf that your sister-in-law gave you for your last birthday.

5.Take Immediate Action
When a clothing item gets stained from food or a spill, take immediate action and clean the stain right away. Waiting allows the stain to settle into the cloth, and you might not be able to clean it later. This is especially true with greasy foods and colored drinks.

When adding mothballs to a storage area, place them in an old sock so they don’t touch the garments.

Areas where garments are stored should be dark and clean. Light fades colors and attracts insects.
