Woolmark's broader care guide shows why fiber content is only part of understanding a garment. It recommends shaped or padded hangers for woven wool items, while knitted garments are gently folded for drawer storage. The reference also describes brushing woven clothing and airing garments to remove some everyday soil or odors.

These distinctions are useful alongside the clothing's specific care claim. Empty pockets and remove accessories before washing or storage, and separate dark and pale colors while laundering. Rather than choosing one routine for everything labeled wool, identify the garment's construction and read its individual directions before deciding which general guidance applies.
