N/A Improvements we're working on in this product: We would love to see these made in Europe Care/use instructions If you’ve got any stains, wiping with a wet cloth will remove nearly anything. If the wet cloth doesn’t do it, hand wash your felt in lukewarm water with a plain soap – no perfumes or dyes, then wring it out and leave it to dry.When felt is well-loved, it tends to grow small piles of loose wool fibres. This is normal and happens with all wool products. Simply pull them off the item or use a pair of scissors to cut them off.
