Cashmere Care

Cashmere Care

Cleaning.  Hand wash in luke warm water using a mild detergent.  Be sure to dissolve all of the cleaner thoroughly and then put the sweater into the water.  After washing, be sure to rinse until the water is clear.  Lay your garment flat to dry away from heat and sunlight.  Reshape the side seams and sleeves if necessary.  Air fluff with no heat.

Dry Cleaning.  You can dry clean Cashmere, however, if you do it on a regular basis it can reduce the life of your garment.

Storage.  Always store your sweater, shawl or accessory in either a cedar chest or plastic bag to keep them moth free.  Moths may go after any food particles that may be on the garment, so it is very important to keep your garments clean.   Fold your garments rather than hanging to prevent stretching.

General Tips.  Avoid contact with perfume or cosmetics as they can stain the fiber.  After wearing, air-fluff your sweater in the dryer to freshen and remove impurities.  No heat!
