ENSURE YOUR CASHMERE GARMENTS REMAIN LUXURIOUS AND COZY FOR YEARS TO COME WITH PROPER CARE. WHILE PROFESSIONAL DRY CLEANING IS AN OPTION, IT’S JUST AS SIMPLE TO HAND WASH THEM AT HOME. FOLLOW THESE STEPS FOR GENTLE YET EFFECTIVE CLEANING.
Step 1:
PRE-WASH PREPARATION GATHER YOUR MATERIALS: GENTLE WOOL SOAP, A BASIN, AND A CLEAN TOWEL. FILL THE BASIN WITH LUKEWARM WATER—TEST WITH YOUR ELBOW TO ENSURE IT’S NOT TOO HOT—AND ADD A SMALL AMOUNT OF SOAP. REMEMBER, CASHMERE REQUIRES DELICATE CARE, SO AVOID BLEACH AT ALL COSTS.
Step 2:
GENTLY CLEANSE SUBMERGE YOUR CASHMERE GARMENTS INTO THE SOAPY WATER, GENTLY MASSAGING TO WORK UP A LATHER. ALLOW THEM TO SOAK FOR ABOUT HALF AN HOUR TO LOOSEN DIRT AND OILS. AFTER SOAKING, RINSE THE GARMENTS THOROUGHLY IN CLEAN WATER AND GENTLY SQUEEZE OUT EXCESS MOISTURE.
Step 3:
DRYING LAY YOUR CASHMERE FLAT ON A CLEAN, DRY, WHITE TOWEL, RESHAPING THEM TO THEIR ORIGINAL FORM. ROLL THE TOWEL, PRESSING GENTLY TO ABSORB WATER WITHOUT STRETCHING THE FIBERS. UNROLL AND LAY THE GARMENTS FLAT TO AIR DRY COMPLETELY.
