Basic information
Wool felt is made of sheep's wool, which repels moisture and dirt and is self-cleaning to a certain extent. Regular washing is therefore not usually necessary and can damage the material. Small stains can be cleaned specifically with a moisturizing wool detergent or shampoo.
Care
- Clean the surface regularly: Brush the felt with a soft brush. This removes loose dust, dirt, fluff and hair
- To intensify the self-cleaning effect of the wool, the felt products can be aired out in high humidity; e.g. air them outside after rain or put them in the bathroom while taking a shower. This also removes unpleasant odors.
Cleaning
The following sequence is recommended for cleaning stains on felt:
- Treat selectively with a moisturizing wool detergent or shampoo, a soft cloth or sponge and cold to lukewarm water
- When drying, take care not to wring out the felt. Excess water can be removed by pressing a towel onto the felt
- Then leave the felt to dry in a dry, well-ventilated place (never in the sun or on or near a heater)
Wash
In order to preserve the quality and shape of the felt textiles, you should always avoid washing them completelyas far as possible. However, if washing is absolutely necessary, it is best to wash the felt by hand using a moisturizing wool detergent or a shampoo.
- Place the felt briefly in the cold to maximum lukewarm soapy water.
- Do not knead or rub the felt vigorously
- After a short exposure time, carefully rinse the felt with clear, cold water
- Squeeze out excess water with a dry towel
- Then leave the felt to dry out in a dry, well-ventilated place (never in the sun or on or near a heater)

Wool felt helps to regulate humidity. Sound insulation made of wool felt can both absorb humidity and release it back into the room air. The use of sound-insulating wool felt can significantly improve the indoor climate. You can find more information on the topic of sound insulation here.
Felt rugs are something out of the ordinary. Wool felt carpets are beautiful, they absorb sound, reduce noise levels and are good for the indoor climate.
