Let’s bust this myth once and for all:Cashmere Sweaters do not have to dry cleaned. That’s right: Not even cashmere requires professional cleaning. Most people are reluctant to wash sweaters at home because of some mishaps that have been scary, like when one of the wooly favorites by mistake ended up in the dryer. But if one practice some TLC, there’s no reason to take the beloved knits off to the cleaners whenever they need a cleaning. To help avoid stree and save time and money, here are some tips from Cashmere Boutique.
How to wash Cashmere Garments
When washing cashmere items at home, please follow these instructions (cashmere coats, jackets and pants should never be washed at home):
Hand wash in lukewarm water using hair shampoo. Be sure to dissolve the shampoo thoroughly then put the sweater into water. Rinse with hair conditioner, this would make the cashmere sweater softer. Wash colored garments separately.
Do not bleach.
Squeeze gently, do not twist or wring. Twisting the wet sweater would stretch the shape of the 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 Cashmere Garments
Before storing these 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 a 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 woollens.
To store a pure cashmere sweater during summer, the most important thing is to keep moisture away, so please do not store cashmere sweaters in a damp place. A well-sealed plastic storage box (available in most stores) is good enough (a see-through one is better as one can notice that if there is any moisture inside). Make sure the box is dry before putting sweaters in.
To keep moths away, the first thing to make sure is that the sweater is clean before long-time storage. Pay close attention to any food stains as moths are particularly attracted to normal food proteins and cooking oils. Those moth proofing products are helpful, or simply spray some perfume on a piece of paper and put the paper next to the sweater inside the box.
