A Step By Step Guide
Patience pays off when it comes to delicate fabrics like cashmere. Follow the steps below to keep your pieces looking new.
Hand Wash
1. Use Cool Water: Fill a basin with cool or lukewarm water.
2. Mild Detergent: Add a small amount of gentle, wool-specific detergent.
3. Soak Gently: Submerge your scarf and gently swish it around. Avoid wringing or stretching the fabric.
4. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse with cool water until the water runs clear.
5. Press, Don’t Wring: Press the water out gently, being careful not to twist or wring the scarf.
Drying
1. Lay Flat to Dry: Lay your scarf flat on a clean, dry towel.
2. Roll and Press: Roll up the towel with the scarf inside to remove excess water, pressing gently as you go.
3. Reshape: Lay the scarf flat on a fresh towel, reshaping it to its original dimensions.
4. Air Dry: Let it air dry completely, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Storage
Storing your cashmere scarves properly ensures they remain pristine and ready for your next adventure.
1. Clean Before Storing: Always clean your scarves before storing to prevent moths.
2. Fold, Don’t Hang: Folding your scarves helps them retain their shape and prevents stretching.
3. Breathable Bags: Store in breathable cotton bags to protect from dust and pests while allowing air circulation.
4. Lavender Sachets: Place lavender sachets or cedar balls in your storage area to deter moths naturally.
A Touch of Extra Care
For those times when your cashmere needs a little extra TLC, consider these additional tips:
- Pilling: Use a cashmere comb or fabric shaver to gently remove pills. This is a natural process for cashmere and can be managed with care.
- Professional Cleaning: For stubborn stains or thorough cleaning, professional dry cleaning can be a good option. Just ensure they specialize in delicate fabrics.
With these tips, your cashmere scarves will remain a treasured part of your wardrobe, ready to add a touch of elegance and warmth to any adventure.
