How to Hand Wash Wool Slacks Without Ironing
- 1). Check the slacks for stains. If there are any spots, treat them with a few drops of the gentle detergent by rubbing it into the stain.
- 2). Put the slacks in the wash basin and fill it with lukewarm water.
- 3). Pour a cap full of the gentle detergent into the lukewarm water.
- 4). Hold the slacks under the water until they are completely soaked. Let the slacks soak at least 10 minutes, and then gently rub the fabric against itself to remove any soil particles.
- 5). If there are any stains or deeply soiled areas that you treated in Step 1, scrub them gently with the scrub brush.
- 6). Drain the soapy water, and rinse the slacks in cold water. Let the cold water run over the slacks until it runs clear.
- 7). Squeeze as much water as you can out of the slacks but avoid wringing or twisting them. Drape the slacks over shower rod or clothes line until they quit dripping.
- 8). Slide the thin end of the pants stretcher most of the way into one leg of the slacks. If your stretcher has adjustable ends (to fit different widths of pant legs), adjust them now. Line up the seam of the pant leg with the edge of the stretcher as you push the stretcher toward the end of the leg.
- 9). Slide the stretcher the rest of the way into the pant leg. Check again to make sure the seam is lined up with the edge of the stretcher, and then repeat Steps 7 and 8 for the other pant leg.
- 10
Allow the slacks to hang in the stretcher until they are completely dry.
