Cashmere Care
Before You Wash
Remove Pilling
Pilling is just a technical term for those tiny tufts of fuzz that crop up on the surface of your clothes. Use a cashmere comb, sweater stone, or other depiller to gently brush these unsightly fluffballs away. When you de-pill, lay the piece flat on a straight surface and glide the comb in one direction over the rough parts. Do not over-comb. De-pill only when needed, but always do this step before you wash--not after.
Addressing Stains
Hand washing cashmere will actually help it to get softer over time, so opt to handwash whenever you can. The one exception to this rule is when you get a stain. For tough stains, always get professional help.
Handwashing Your Cashmere
STEP 1
Start with a clean sink or basin, and fill it with cool water. Pour in baby shampoo or a fine garment detergent, and create suds with your hands. Done? Super! You’re nearly finished.
STEP 2
Turn the garment inside out and submerge the cashmere in the water. Allow the garment to soak for 10 minutes. Light spot treatments can be done now. Empty the sink or basin, and rinse your cashmere until the water runs clear. Gently squeeze the excess water out.
STEP 3
Lay down a clean, dry, white towel. Place the cashmere in its original shape on the towel. Gently roll up the garment and towel together--squeezing out excess water as needed. [May need image of this]. Do not wring or twist. On a separate dry towel, lay the cashmere down and smooth it back to its original shape again. Allow it to dry. This can take up to a few days depending on the item. Avoid throwing your cashmere into the dryer (even on Tumble Dry Low), and keep it away from direct heat.
Storing Your Cashmere
Always fold your cashmere, because hanging these pieces will change their shape. Be sure to use moth balls or cedar to protect your clothes from, well, the moths. Store cashmere lying flat in a wardrobe or dresser. This area ideally should be dark, cool and dry.
Longevity
