Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Fill the sink or bathtub with lukewarm water.
- Use a specialized knitwear detergent, with a pH neutral composition.
- Submerge your mohair item in the water and gently stir to disperse the detergent.
- Push down on it & gently squeeze, use the same action as if you were kneading dough. Continue to do this all over the entire item. Do not wring, twist or pull.
- Let the water out of the sink or bathtub and refill with clean water, press down & gently squeeze the item, as before. Do not wring, twist or pull.
- Let the water out of the sink or tub.
- Press down on the item to remove the excess water. Do not twist or wring.
- Lay the item flat between two dry and clean towels. Gently roll and squeeze to remove excess water.
