Congrats on owning some cashmere. Now let’s make it last forever.
How to Care for Cashmere
- 1. Check the care label for style-specific instructions.
- 2. Prolong the life of your knitwear by washing less often.
- 3. When needed, hand wash in cold water using mild detergent specially formulated for knitwear. Steer clear of fabric softeners.
- 4. Rinse well after washing, but avoid wringing. Gently roll the garment in a towel to remove any excess water.
- 5. Reshape your garment while still damp, and dry on a flat surface.
- 6. Store your knitwear folded to prevent stretching.
- 7. If pilling occurs, use a sweater comb or sweater stone to gently remove pills.
FOR THE PLANET
Use Cold Water
Washing with cold water is not only gentler on your clothes, but it can also save up to 90% of
the energy normally used to heat the water.
Wash It Less
Each load of laundry uses approximately 18 gallons of water — and a bunch of your effort. Save
yourself the time and resources by washing less. Or try a gentle cycle — it can help reduce
microfibre shedding by about 70%.
Choose Mild Detergent
This will minimize any chemicals entering the waterways.
