Hand washing

When it comes to washing cashmere, the safest and most delicate option is certainly by hand

THE ESSENTIALS

To hand wash your cashmere garment, you will need a basin or washbowl and mild detergent.

WATER AND DETERGENT

To avoid colour bleeding or shrinking, use cold or lukewarm water to wash your cashmere garment. Make sure to use only a small amount of mild detergent.

WASHING

Dip the garment in the basin and gently massage. If the are stains, pat the area with detergent. Always avoid rubbing, as this may cause pilling.

RINSING

Rinse by dipping in clean cold water and pressing softly, without wringing the garment. Change water and repeat if necessary, until all detergent has been removed.

REMOVE EXCESS WATER

Excess water may be removed by rolling the garment in a towel on a flat surface and pressing gently.

Machine washing

Contrary to popular belief, it is also possible to machine wash your cashmere garments without damage, as long as the proper precautions are observed

PROTECT YOUR GARMENT

We suggest protecting your cashmere garments by placing them in a laundry bag or white pillowcase. For more protection, throw a few towels into the washer to serve as a “cushion”.

USE ONLY MILD DETERGENT

It is important to select a mild detergent. We suggest avoiding the use of fabric softeners.

WATER TEMPERATURE

Select a gentle program and use only cold water for both wash and rinse cycles.

CYCLE

If your washer also offers the possibility to choose a spin cycle, make sure to select the shortest available.

DO NOT MACHINE DRY

To avoid damage, never machine dry your cashmere.

POSITION

Place your cashmere garment on a clean towel and lay it, so that it takes its oroginal shape.

EXPOSURE

Avoid direct sunlight or other heat sources which may damage the fibers.

DRYING

Allow your garment to air dry for a sufficient amount of time. This may take several hours or even a day, depending on the room temperature and humidity.

PRO TIPS

Turn your garment over at least once, allowing it to dry well on both sides.

Ironing

If properly washed, dried, and stored, cashmere does not tend to wrinkle and can generally be worn without ironing

FABRIC STEAMER

This is the best option for cashmere garments. Prepare your garment and simply hang it. Steam from a slight distance, without touching the cashmere fibres. We suggest allowing your garment to cool before wearing or storing it.

IRON

Prepare your garment by turning it inside out, placing it evenly on your ironing board, and covering it with a light-coloured cloth. Set your iron to its lowest setting and gently press it to the cloth, using smooth strokes. Always keep the iron moving, making sure it never directly touches the cashmere fibres.

Storage

An important part of cashmere care is proper storage

STORAGE AREA

The area you select should be clean, free from damp and unexposed to sunlight or other heat sources; closet shelves and drawers make perfect storage areas.

FOLD, DON'T HANG

Hanging your cashmere garments will cause them to stretch out and sag, especially in the shoulder area.

MOTH PREVENTION

To keep your cashmere garments fresh and avoid moths and mildew, we suggest storing your garment with cedar wood balls, a natural alternative to other anti-moth remedies.
