I’m curious to learn more about your suggestions, but Icebreaker’s website [0] suggests this isn’t necessary:
“Use a normal warm or cool machine wash cycle with regular powder or liquid detergent. Separate light and darks as usual. Don’t use softeners or bleach.”

- nntwozz 3y agoWell, you gotta make money somehow ;) I own Icebreaker garments btw, here's what Miele says: Biological detergents contain certain enzymes that are there to remove proteins from a garment. This is how they are effective at cleaning things such as egg from clothing. However, silk and wool are also made up of proteins. Biological detergent cannot differentiate between a bit of egg stain and a bit of silk so the enzymes will eat away at it. This results in very small, randomly placed, holes on a garment. They won’t appear after the first wash, but tend to appear after several washes once the enzyme has gradually eaten the fabric away.
- JohnBooty 3y agoI don't have an opinion here since I haven't owned many wool garments over the years, but: In your previous post you stated that "regular detergent" destroys wool. This post from Miele seems to be about specific "biological detergents."
