How to wash merino wool headband:

 Fill a washbowl with lukewarm or reasonably cold water, not ice cold. Add in it,
about one teaspoon of shampoo or liquid soap and dissolve it by swirling it
around till enough lather is formed.
 Place the headband in the water and push it down. Now, gently squeeze the
headband as if kneading dough and take care not to twist or pull.
 Take off the ear warmer from the water and empty the washbowl. Now fill it with
clean water and, pushing the ear warmer into it again, squeeze it gently. Roll in a
towel and gently push on the towel to remove excess water.
 Lay the wool headband flat on clean towel to dry.
