how do you wash your daughter's uniform skirt or jumpers?

every time I wash it, it gets such a weird woolly smell.

thank you!

Real wool has a distinctive odor when wet that disappears when dry. Either dry clean the uniforms or get used to the smell.

I wash uniforms on delicate. Wool does have a smell when wet.

it smells even when it dries!

I thought maybe there's a special detergent for it..

Is it taking a long time to dry? I find that keeps the smell in. You may need to hang it in a warmer and/or drier room.

Woolite detergent is best. Make sure to use a wool cycle on the machine. And hang in a place where clothes dry quickly.

thanks ra mom!
I was wondering if woolite would be good because of its name Smile but the label didn't say anything that it was good for wool.
I will try! thx again!
