Preparing cashmere for washing

 

Before washing cashmere you should carefully inspect the scarf for any stains or marks that require attention. Next ensure you treat stains promptly, with a gentle cashmere-safe stain remover, ensuring it is suitable for delicate fibers.

 

Washing cashmere

 

Opt for hand washing as the gentlest method to clean your cashmere garments, safeguarding their delicate fibers and sumptuous softness. Or, if you want to wash your cashmere in the washing machine, we recommend using a specific detergent and a delicate wash at low temperature (30°C or lower). To wash cashmere in the washing machine it is advisable to set the spin cycle to low, to prevent pilling of the scarf and save energy.

 

 Drying of cashmere

 

To dry the cashmere we recommend placing the scarf on a clean, dry towel or on a drying rack for natural air drying. The second tip is to gently shape the scarf to its original size, avoiding stretching or tearing. Finally, for effective drying, it would be ideal to keep it away from direct sunlight or heat sources to avoid fading or damage to the delicate cashmere fibers.

 

Conservation and care cashmere

 

Store your cashmere garments in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and moisture to maintain their softness and resilience. Fold them neatly and store them in a breathable fabric case or drawer to protect them from dust and potential moth damage, or use mothballs.

Pro Tip: To maintain the luxurious feel and soft texture of your cashmere scarf, consider adding a few drops of conditioner to the final rinse water. This helps restore moisture and keep the fibers supple and velvety.

 

Embrace luxury, preserve opulence

 

With care and attention your cashmere scarves and stoles will continue to be refined and timeless. Embrace the art of devotion and respect for quality.
