Cashmere Care

Cashmere doesn't need to be washed often because it's naturally stain, odor and crease resistant. To reduce washes, you can air your garment out, steam, hang it up while showering, use a delicate fabric refreshing spray or brush it. Spot clean stains immediately when they appear, because stains can be hard to get off after a while. Hand washing is preferable — cashmere responds well to cool water, which helps restore the fiber's natural softness. If you prefer, you can also wash cashmere on a delicate or wool wash program. To protect the surface of the fabric, use a washing bag and turn the garment inside out. Use enzyme-free, pH-neutral laundry detergent. Enzymes in regular detergents break down protein-based fibesr like cashmere. Do not use bleach or fabric softener, as they can damage the fabric. Dry flat; cashmere may stretch if hung. Knits should be stored folded, as hanging knitwear can change the shape. Put cedar wood or lavender in your drawers and make sure your knitwear is clean when you store it to avoid moths.
