The following properties characterize merino wool:

• Moisture transport and degradation in merino wool
  Wool is the strongest water absorbing natural fiber (30% - man-made fiber only about 5% of its own weight), depending on the chemical treatment the wool has been exposed to, for example chlorination. The ability to absorb moisture is an important functional property of wool, but perhaps even more important is the ability to remove that moisture. This occurs within the wool structure through hydrogen bonds that build up. If the inside is wetter than the outside of the wool, it will be absorbed by the wool and transferred to the outside until there is equilibrium on both sides. This creates a comfortable wearing sensation - the wearer stays dry.
• Thermal insulation and absorption heat in merino wool
  Due to the special structure of the fiber, a lot of air is bound in the fiber and thus favors thermal insulation, as this air reduces heat exchange. When moisture is absorbed into the hydrogen bonds of the fiber, a chemical reaction occurs between the fiber and the water molecules. This reaction generates heat and continues until the fibers are saturated with water molecules.
• Self-cleaning properties in merino wool
  The wool core consists of chemically resistant and less resistant cell types, which are connected to each other in a liana form. If moisture gets into the core, one fiber swells more than the other - a friction is created and thus also a mechanical self-cleaning effect.
• Antibacterial and odorless merino wool
  The creatine in wool has an antibacterial effect, as it naturally breaks down bacteria on the skin and thus prevents bad odors. Bacteria are favored by damp surfaces - due to the water-repellent properties, formation is made considerably more difficult and the material remains relatively dry on the outside.

Please note care instructions on the label.
Merino wool has self-cleaning and antibacterial properties due to its natural lanolin content. After repeated washing with commercially available detergents, merino wool loses its natural lanolin and thus these positive properties.

Therefore, our tip: Wash products made of merino wool with detergents specially designed for this purpose (e.g. Grangers Merino Wash). This preserves the self-cleaning and antibacterial properties of merino wool.
Due to the self-cleaning property of merino wool, hanging out in the fresh air is often sufficient. Not infrequently, this saves washing. Stains can also often be removed with a damp cloth or brush.
