    How to care for your ioMerino

    How to care for your ioMerino

    ioMerino may be naturally stick-resistant, but you’re still going to want to wash it every now and then, so here are a few tips on how best to keep it in tip-top condition.

     

    Washing and Drying

    • Wash similar colours together
    • Wash products with prints inside out
    • Zip up any zippers
    • Use warm or cool machine wash only – do not hot wash.
    • Machine delicate to normal wash 
    • Use regular washing powder or liquid detergent  (Avoid products that contain optical brighteners, enzymes, bleach, stain removers etc because these can be a bit harsh on the merino and even cause small holes.)  
    • Do not bleach
    • ioMerino is the most comfortable Merino on earth, so you don’t need to use fabric softener
    • Do not iron prints or labels
    • Line dry your ioMerino in the shade
    • Cool to warm steam iron inside out to re-shape, or use a specific wool setting.

    For best results, hand wash your ioMerino Beanies. Do not hot machine wash. 

     

    Storage

    • Make sure your garments are clean before storing.
    • Store garments in a dry place, sealed tub or plastic bag.
    • Garments should be folded rather than hung and kept out of the sun.

     

    Pilling 

    Pilling is a natural process that can occur when shorter fibres come to the surface of the fabric. To help avoid pilling, wash your new garment within three wears, turn garment inside when washing, avoid abrasive surfaces and rubbing and use a more gentle wash cycle.

    Great base layers

    One of many excellent ioMerino products I've purchased and will continue to do so. These are among the best base layers.

    The reviews are very accurate on these pants. They are very soft and comfortable, they suit my petite frame and have washed well. Highly recommend these.

    SUPER TOP!

    Love my new " Mongrel" zip up so much that I ordered another one immediately so that I have a reserve.
    Super comfy and I wore it for days without it smelling. Easy to wash and dry and the design and colour combination are exactly to my taste! Great quality products!

    Very satisfied.

    I have bought several items over the last 2 years and have always been very please with my purchases. High quality products.

    This is a “MUST HAVE”!if your are hiking or trekking (or on the Camino). Dries quickly (overnight easily) perfect for travel. Great either alone on warm days or as a base layer on colder days. An INDISPENSABLE wardrobe item. Lasts for years (decades actually!) single most important item in your backpack.

    My girlfriend stole them :(

    Cozy, warm and breathable, my favorite to relax in.
    Only downside is they’re now also my girlfriend’s favorite to wear around the house. So I’ll need to buy a second pair.
    Sizing: I’m 182cm, usually M/L. ordered L, fits well.
    gf is 170cm and likes the loose fit

    I basically haven’t taken off this hoodie in the 2 weeks since I’ve received it. Incredibly warm and soft. I got a small and it fits true to size. Size up if you like a baggier fit. This hoodie is great!

    Such great quality

    This top is just as pictured. It is so flattering! The material is extremely soft and it's nice enough to wear as a top without covering it up under your other layers.

    LOVE IT
