The Woolmark Company gives the Duet(R) washer its seal of approval.
Don’t let laundry myths pull the wool over your eyes; you can now clean washable wool at home with ease. The Whirlpool® Duet® washer is the first appliance in North America to be certified by The Woolmark Company, the world’s leading wool textile organization, to safely clean washable wool. The Woolmark Company owns the Woolmark Certification Trade Mark and operates a global certification program to ensure that any product bearing the Woolmark logo meets strict wool quality and performance criteria based on the exacting demands of today’s consumer.
Before a washing machine can carry the Woolmark logo, it is extensively tested by The Woolmark Company to ensure that it is safe for laundering machine washable wool apparel. Only those manufacturers who are able to meet The Woolmark Company’s strict performance standards can be licensed to use the logo.
