Whether you have ugly Christmas sweaters or a beautiful holiday sweater you love, it matters how to clean holiday sweaters and take care of them. Here are a few things to consider from hand washing to dry cleaning.

Hand Washing Holiday Sweaters

Hand washing sweaters can be the right choice to make if your sweater was handmade or has a lot of embellishments. You may need to do further research on the best way to clean your sweater but here are a few tips. It’s always a good idea to refer to the care label inside your holiday sweater.

• For silk sweaters use cool water with a gentle detergent. Lightly swirl the sweater in the water, let it sit for an hour or so and then rinse with cool water.
• When drying your holiday sweater, it is important not to twist the sweater which can cause unwanted stretching. Instead lay the sweater on a towel and roll them together, then lay the sweater flat on the towel to dry.

Dry Cleaning Holiday Sweaters

Unless something gets spilled accidentally on your holiday sweater it should only need dry cleaning after three to four wears. In some situations, you may only need to dry clean it at the beginning and end of the holiday season.

Dry cleaning is a safer and easier method to clean your holiday sweater.
