  • How can I wash my Aran Clothing?
    The golden rule is to wash your garment as seldom as possible and air frequently. We call this ‘wind-washing’. Hang your garment out in the air and you will be amazed at how fresh it becomes. Never machine wash; they should be washed by hand using wool washing detergent and in cool water below 30 degrees Celsius. Always dry your jumper flat and never put it in a tumble dryer.
    How can I clean my Jewellery?
    A gentle clean with a soft 100% cotton cloth is ideal for maintaining your jewellery’s shine and a jewellery cloth can be picked up easily at most jewellery stores. For a more thorough clean, get a small bowl, pour in hot water, some gentle soap and stir. Place your jewellery in the solution for 1 minute, rinse with clean water, then polish with a soft 100% cotton cloth and pat completely dry. For the best care, store your jewellery in the bag or the box it came in when not being worn to minimize tarnish. Also try not to wear your jewellery in the shower or pool as chlorine will tarnish it and apply any perfume, body lotions or creams and let them dry before you put on your jewellery.
