A specialized cleaner is available for cleaning and improving the performance of Merino wool clothing, including base layers, socks, and accessories. This cleaner can effectively clean, deodorize, and enhance the wicking and drying abilities of the wool. It is easy to use with a wash-in application that also softens the wool and helps it to dry faster. It is important to avoid using household detergents as they can damage the natural wicking properties of Merino wool. This cleaner is particularly suited for merino wool clothing brands like Smart Wool, Ortovox, Icebreaker, Ibex, Minus33, and Darn Tough. Nikwax products have a water-based formula that is free from PFAS, non-persistent, and does not contain any optical brighteners or added scent. They are also safe to use in machine wash. The recommended amount of product to use is one full cap, which is approximately 50ml.
