wash & care

We encourage you to wear more and wash less; 25% of a garment's environmental footprint happens at home. Because Merino Wool is self-cleaning, you can use the air-out method and spot clean when possible. Reducing the water and power used to wash makes it gentler to our environment and extends your knit's life cycle.

When washing
The knits of Rhea are machine washable. We advise the delicate cycle on your washing machine teamed with a low temperature and mild detergent as the ideal setting to wash the knits. We also recommend a mesh washing bag for heavier knits to help keeping their shape during the spin cycle.

Spot Cleaning
Another fast and effective way to reduce the full wash cycle is spot cleaning. Stains and spills happen; act fast and treat them immediately where possible. Ox Gall Soap is a great, natural tool for removing stains. Use a small amount of water and dab softly on the stain, lather it in, and wait for a few minutes, rinse and repeat until the stain is gone. Alternatively, dry cleaning works well for stains too.
