Washing cashmere properly: how to keep it soft and luxurious
Cashmere requires special care to maintain its quality. Only wash your cashmere items by hand. Use cold to lukewarm water at a maximum temperature of 30°C and a mild wool detergent or special cashmere shampoo. An important note: Avoid wringing out the material to prevent deformation. Instead, gently squeeze the water out of the fabric.
Drying and storing: How cashmere keeps its shape
After washing, lay your cashmere products flat on a towel and allow them to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight or hot surfaces such as radiators. Never tumble dry cashmere as this can damage the material and affect its softness. Do not hang your cashmere pieces up either, as the weight can cause them to warp. Laying it flat is the best way to preserve its shape and softness.
Airing instead of washing: Freshness through the right care
Cashmere does not need to be washed after every wear. It is often sufficient to air the garment in the fresh air after wearing it. This preserves the fibers and keeps the garment feeling fresh. Cashmere can be gently cleaned with a soft cloth if it is slightly soiled.
Removing fluff: how to gently care for your cashmere
Lint formation (pilling) is completely normal with cashmere and can be easily removed with the right care. Use a special cashmere comb or lint shaver to gently remove the lint without damaging the material. This will keep your cashmere product soft and supple even after many years.
Storage tips: How to protect cashmere from moths
Cashmere should always be stored horizontally out of season. It is best to use breathable fabric bags to protect your cashmere products from dust and dirt. Moths can attack cashmere products, so it is advisable to place lavender sachets or cedar wood in the wardrobe to keep the pests away.
What you should avoid
- Do not use bleaching agents. These attack the delicate cashmere fibers.
- Do not iron cashmere, as high temperatures can damage the fibers.
- Do not wring out cashmere to avoid deformation.
- Do not store cashmere hanging, as its own weight can cause it to warp.
