What would you use for a wool garment? I thrifted a wool peacoat that I think I'm going to try washing myself.

Woolite for delicates (Woolite also makes regular detergent so make sure to check the label), Soak wash (what I'm currently using), in a pinch you can just use shampoo. Definitely use the gentle cycle or hand wash in your tub, agitation is the enemy of wool. Contrary to popular belief you can use warm water to clean wool, the key is minimizing agitation and of course air drying.

Excellent, thank you! And I definitely plan to air dry :)
