Does your sweater itch? The Mercadona liquid that softens the garment in seconds

The season for wool sweaters and warm blankets is here. However, many people refuse to wear clothes made of this material, for fear of itching. In reality, not all wool causes itchy skin. Irritations and allergies are caused by the fiber that wool is made of, which is made up of scales. The thicker the scales, the more itchy it will be. It is important to choose wool garments carefully before purchasing them and check their texture and comfort on the skin. But don't worry, because there are remedies to soften our beloved sweaters and prevent them from itching the skin.

The first remedy against wool itch is cold treatment. The cold closes the scales and makes our clothes softer and more comfortable. We put our jersey in a plastic bag and leave it in the freezer for a few hours. Let it cool before using it. It must be taken into account that wool garments need a lot of care so that they do not deteriorate and increase the itchy sensation on the skin. That's why it's best to wash our jerseys by hand and add a tablespoon of glycerin. We add our fabric softener and rinse carefully in strictly cold water. This wash will help make our garments softer to the touch and more respectful of the skin.

Why wool causes itching and how to avoid it

Another very good trick against itchy wool is to use white vinegar. We leave our sweater to soak in a basin with water and a glass of vinegar for 15 minutes. We rinse and proceed to wash, to eliminate the intense smell that the vinegar may leave behind. But that is not all. There is another remedy against itchy wool and it is hair conditioner. Why does it work? Because wool is a fiber composed of keratin, like our hair. To use it, simply apply it to the entire garment after washing, leave it on for a good half hour and rinse with cold water. Our wool sweater will stop itching and will also have a pleasant smell.
