Cashmere Guide
To preserve the timeless elegance and exquisite feel of your cashmere, proper care is essential. By following these simple yet effective steps, you’ll ensure your cherished garments remain as luxurious as the day you first wore them.
Washing
Treat your cashmere with the gentleness it deserves. Use a delicate or silk cycle on your washing machine, ensuring the temperature does not exceed 30°C and the spin speed stays below 400 RPM. For optimal results, use a specialized cashmere detergent. We offer a premium cashmere shampoo designed specifically to care for your delicate garments. Always double-check your machine’s settings to maintain the integrity of this precious fabric.
Drying
After washing, carefully lay your cashmere flat on a clean, dry towel and gently reshape it. Allow it to air dry naturally on a flat surface, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Avoid hanging, as this can cause stretching or distortion. For brushed or bouclé cashmere, entrust its care to professionals to retain its delicate texture and quality.
Ironing
To restore your cashmere’s shape and natural loft, steaming is highly recommended. The gentle steam revitalizes the fibers, ensuring your garments look and feel their best. If a steamer is unavailable, use a low-heat iron with caution, placing a thin cloth between the iron and your cashmere to protect its delicate surface.
Storing
Cashmere deserves a special place in your wardrobe. Store your garments in a cool, dark space, such as a drawer or shelf, and always fold them neatly to maintain their shape. Never hang cashmere, as it may stretch over time. To protect against moths, place natural cedarwood balls nearby and replace them annually. For long-term storage, keep your cashmere in a breathable fabric bag to preserve its freshness and safeguard it against dust and damage.
Pilling
Pilling is a natural occurrence, especially in new cashmere garments, and results from friction either within the fabric or against other surfaces. Maintain your cashmere’s pristine appearance by gently removing pills with a high-quality fabric shaver, such as Steamery’s. With proper care, your cashmere will retain its smooth, elegant finish for years to come.
By embracing these care practices, you’ll ensure that your cashmere not only endures but becomes a cherished staple in your wardrobe, bringing warmth, elegance, and timeless luxury to every season.
