How to Wash Merino Wool with Nikwax
Merino wool is a game-changer in activewear. Its ability to regulate temperature, wick moisture, dry quickly, and stay breathable makes it an essential choice for anyone seeking comfort and performance.

Here’s why and how you can care for your merino wool items using Nikwax Wool Wash, the ultimate solution for wool care.

Merino wool works wonders, but improper washing can diminish its performance:
