How-to Cashmere Care Guide Best Practices

  1. Always use a gentle detergent specifically designed for washing cashmere. Regular laundry detergents can be too harsh and strip the fibers of their natural oils, causing them to become dry and brittle.

  2. Hand wash cashmere in cold water using a gentle motion. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric, as this can cause it to stretch or become misshapen.

  3. Do not soak cashmere for extended periods of time, as this can cause the fibers to become weakened and shrink.

  4. Use a hair conditioner or fabric softener in the rinse water to help soften the fibers and make them easier to brush or comb.

  5. To remove stains, try using a mild spot cleaner or a mixture of water and white vinegar. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals on cashmere, as these can damage the fibers.

  6. Dry cashmere flat on a clean, dry surface. Avoid hanging it to dry, as this can cause it to stretch or become misshapen.

  7. Once the cashmere is dry, use a soft brush or comb to gently remove any tangles or knots in the fibers.

  8. Store cashmere in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight or heat. Avoid hanging it, as this can cause it to stretch or become misshapen. Instead, fold it and place it in a drawer or on a shelf.

  9. To protect cashmere from moths, try storing it in a sealed container with a moth repellent, such as cedar chips or lavender sachets.

  10. If your cashmere becomes wrinkled or stretched, try steaming or ironing it on a low heat setting. Avoid using high heat, as this can cause the fibers to become damaged.
