How to wash your Cashmere
- Hand wash in lukewarm water using your hair shampoo. Be sure to dissolve the shampoo thoroughly then put the throw/blanket into water. Rinse with hair conditioner, this makes your cashmere softer. Wash colored garments separately.
- Do not bleach.
- Squeeze gently, do not twist or wring.
- Dry flat after removing excess water, away from direct heat and sunlight.
- Press with damp cloth, using a cool iron.
How to store your Cashmere
- Before storing your precious cashmere in basements or attics, check carefully for leaks, dampness and sunlight.
- Fold clothes or pack them neatly in tissue paper or plastic bag and store them in a closet away from light, dust and dampness.
- Cleaning before storage is recommended, as fresh stains that may not yet be visible will oxidize and become fixed during storage, they may also be the food for moths. Moths have a discerning palate, they feast only on natural fabrics. Mothballs (naphthalene) and cedar chips are standard protection from moth infestation of woolens.
- To store a pure cashmere item during summer, the most important thing is to keep moisture away, so please do not store your cashmere in a damp place. A well-sealed plastic storage box or bag (available in most stores) is good enough.
- To keep moths away, the first thing to make sure is that the cashmere is clean before long-time storage. Pay close attention to any food stains as moths are particularly attracted to our normal food proteins and cooking oils. Those moth proofing products are helpful, or simply spray some perfume on a piece of paper and put the paper next to your cashmere inside the box.
