    TRUE OR FALSE?

    Household detergents can make wool garments ‘itchy.’

    True. Washing wool garments in household detergents can alter the fibers to make the garments itchy as well as yellowing colors and promoting pilling. Backpacking Light founder and research scientist Ryan Jordan describes it this way; “You can see how household detergents damage surface fibers of wool under a scanning electron microscope. It’s like the difference between Lance Armstrong’s shaven legs and Grizzly Adams’ face.” To maintain merino wool’s excellent softness, performance and appearance use ReviveX® Wool Cleaner Concentrate.
