Most stores would recommend or even request professional dry clean when it comes to clean your cashmere garments, but actually this is not the best way. Thinking of the way you care your own hair, this also applies to your cashmere sweaters, because they are all Natural fibers.

So as true savvy cashmere lovers, we would like to share our Easy Tips with you. Those tips are easy to follow, You do not have to spend a lot of time and money on professional dry clean again!

How to wash

Hand wash in lukewarm water using your hair shampoo. Be sure to dissolve the shampoo thorough then put the sweater into water. Rinse with hair conditioner, this would make your cashmere sweater more softer. Wash colored garments separately.

Do not bleach.

Squeeze gently, do not twist or wing. Twisting the wet sweater would stretch the shape of your sweater.

Dry flat after removing excess water, away from direct heat and sunlight.

Press with damp cloth, using a cool iron, iron from the inside of the garment.

How to store

Before storing your precious cashmere garments in basements or attics, check carefully for leaks, dampness and sunlight.

Fold clothes or pack them neatly in tissue paper or plastic bag and store them in closet away from light, dust and dampness.

Cleaning before storage is recommended, as fresh stains that may not yet be visible will oxidize and become fixed during storage, they may also be the food for moths. Moths have a discerning palate, they feast only on natural fabrics. Mothballs (naphthalene) and cedar chips are standard protection from moth infestation of woolens.

To store a pure cashmere sweater during summer, the most important thing is to keep moisture away, so please do not store cashmere in a damp place. A well-sealed plastic storage box (available in most stores) is good enough (a see-through one is better as you can notice that if there is any moisture inside). Make sure the box is dry before you put sweaters in.

To keep the moth away, the first important thing is to make sure that the sweater is clean before long-time storage. Pay close attention to any food stains as moths are particularly attracted to our normal food proteins and cooking oils. Those mothproofing products are helpful, or simply spray some perfume on a piece of paper and put the paper next to your sweater inside the box.

Also here are some Tips for you

To keep your garments always clean and beautiful, here are some basic rules for your reference:

Do not wear the same garment frequently, allow the garment two or three days' rest after one day's wearing.

A silk scarf goes well with cashmere top and cardigan, to put it between your cashmere top/cardigan and your neck will also prevent powder or other cosmetics stains.

Do not wear the garment next to rough clothing, metal necklace, bracelet, belt and rough leather such as crocodile leather bags. Dress up your cashmere with silk scarf and pearl accessories instead of accessories with rough surface.

Pilling is caused by abrasion during regular use, it often develops on elbows, on the seat of skirts, and in areas rubbed by a bag or briefcase, even seat belt. Soft, fuzzy surfaces are more susceptible than others. So for cashmere and silk/cashmere, it is normal when pilling develops in some areas after times of wearing.

To avoid pilling, it is important not to rub the garment with rough clothing, metal accessories, bags and all kinds of belts. In case you can not avoid the belts such as seat belts, cover your garment with a silk or synthetic fibers scarf, make sure it is the smooth surface that is next to your garment.

To remove pills, just manually pick them off. Do not rub and brush the garment.
