Tips for Caring for Your Cashmere Products
Cashmere is one of the most luxurious and delicate materials that requires special care to maintain its softness and longevity. With the right care tips, you can ensure that your cashmere sweaters, scarves, and jackets will look like new for years.
Why is Proper Care of Cashmere Important?
Cashmere is made from the fine hairs of the cashmere goat and is known for its softness, lightness, and excellent insulation. Without proper care, however, cashmere products can quickly lose quality, develop pilling, or change shape.
Washing Tips for Cashmere
To preserve your cashmere clothing, keep the following in mind:
Hand wash preferred: Wash cashmere by hand in lukewarm water with a special cashmere detergent.
Use a washing machine only in emergencies: If necessary, use a gentle cycle (max. 30°C) and place the clothing in a laundry bag.
Do not wring: Gently press excess water out instead of twisting or wringing the material.
Proper Drying of Cashmere
After washing, it’s important to dry cashmere products gently:
*Dry flat: Lay the wet garment on a clean towel, reshape it to its original form, and allow it to air dry.
Avoid direct heat: Never hang cashmere or dry it in the sun or on a radiator.
Storage Tips for Cashmere
Proper storage is essential to protect cashmere from moths and deformation:
Fold, don’t hang: Cashmere products should always be folded, as they can stretch on a hanger.
Prevent moths: Use scented sachets with lavender or cedarwood to protect your clothes from moth infestation.
Store in a cool, dry place: Keep your cashmere clothing in a clean, dry spot, ideally in a cotton bag.
Removing Pilling from Cashmere
Pilling (the formation of small fuzz balls) can occur with cashmere despite the best care. It is a natural characteristic of the material.
Remove gently: Use a cashmere comb or a special pilling razor to carefully remove the pills without damaging the fabric.
Regular care: Regular wear and washing will reduce pilling over time.
Regular Care Pays Off
With these tips, your cashmere clothing will remain soft, elegant, and in top condition for many years. Regularly care for your cashmere products and give them the attention.
