How to Hand Wash Cashmere (Step-by-Step)

Hand washing is the safest way to clean cashmere at home. Here’s how to do it:

1. Get a container, pour in chilly water.
2. Put in a bit of mild soap or something made for cashmere. Use just a little, don’t overdo it.
3. Rinse the fabric by dunking it, then move it around slowly for a couple of minutes.
4. Rinse well using cool water.
5. Press it between towels to get rid of moisture, just don’t twist or squeeze. Instead, let it lie flat and absorb naturally through gentle pressure.
6. Lie down gently on a dry cloth, fixing the shape if it’s off. Then adjust how you’re lying so everything feels right.

Machine Washing Cashmere the Safe Way

If your washer’s got a soft or wool setting, toss the cashmere in flipped inside out, slip it into a mesh sack first. Go with chilly water along with a gentle soap. When it’s finished, lay it out to air dry, never ever use the dryer.

Proper Storage Tips

Cashmere might lose shape when left hanging, which means it’s smarter to fold it instead. Keep your items safe by using cloth bags that let air pass through, this blocks dust, dampness, plus bugs. Toss in some real cedar chunks; they fend off critters naturally, skipping strong-smelling sprays or toxins.
