FELTING:
Place the seating pad in the washing machine with a detergent without enzymes and optical bleach. Wash at 40 degrees with normal spin but no pre-wash. Then place the seating pad flat and shape it to the correct size while it is still wet. At subsequent wash, wash the seating pad at regular wool programme.
