Cashmere Care

What's the best way to clean my cashmere garment?
Looking after your cashmere is very easy! You can hand wash garments with warm or cool water, using a good quality soap product like Woolite. Never wring. Lay the garment out on a large towel, then roll it up and twist to remove the excess water. Dry on a flat surface on a fresh, dry towel until thoroughly dried. Once dry you can iron – ensure it is not too hot – steam is best. Garments can also be dry-cleaned.

How can you keep cashmere looking new?
By keeping it clean (dirty cashmere is very attractive to moths!) and removing any small pills immediately. Avoid heavy pilling by buying good quality garments. Wash regularly, as good cashmere should improve with each wash.

How should I store my cashmere garments?
Cashmere should be neatly folded and ideally not put on a hanger. It should be clean and in some sort of sealable garment bag with protection against moths.
