Daily Care
Brush regularly: Use a soft clothes brush to remove surface dust and dirt to keep the fibres fresh.
Dry naturally: If it gets wet, leave to air-dry flat on a towel and away from direct heat or sunlight.
Cleaning
Spot cleaning: Treat small marks by gently dabbing with cool water.
Deep cleaning: For lasting care, take your tweed to a professional dry cleaner who specialises in wool.
Storage
Keep it cool and dry: Store your tweed in a cool, dry place with enough room to breathe, avoiding overcrowding or damp spaces. Protect from moths by placing in an air-tight bag when in storage.
Care Cautions
What to avoid: Harris Tweed is 100% wool, so avoid machine washing, tumble drying or hanging when wet, as these can shrink or distort the fabric.
