Caring for Your Cashmere: Preserving the Luxury

Your Cashmere Himalaya product is crafted with the utmost care and designed to offer you a lifetime of luxury. To ensure it remains as soft and beautiful as the day you received it, please follow these simple care instructions:

Gentle Washing

  1. Hand Wash Only: For best results, hand wash your cashmere in cold water with a small amount of mild detergent or baby shampoo. Avoid harsh chemicals and fabric softeners, as they can damage the delicate fibres.
  2. Soak, Don’t Scrub: Gently submerge your cashmere item and let it soak for 5-10 minutes. Lightly agitate the water with your hands but avoid rubbing or wringing the fabric.

Rinsing

  1. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse your cashmere with cold water until the water runs clear. Gently squeeze out excess water without twisting or wringing the fabric.

Drying

  1. Lay Flat to Dry: Lay your cashmere item flat on a clean, dry towel and reshape it to its original size. Roll the towel up to absorb excess water, then lay the item flat on a new dry towel to air dry completely. Avoid hanging, as this can stretch the fabric.
  2. Avoid Direct Heat: Keep your cashmere away from direct sunlight and heat sources, as these can cause the fibres to weaken and fade.

Ironing

  1. Avoid direct contact with iron by using a cotton cloth between the cashmere and iron. Gently press with warm iron.

Storing

  1. Store with Care: When not in use, store your cashmere in a cool, dry place. Fold it neatly and place it in a breathable cotton bag to protect it from dust and moths. Avoid hanging your cashmere, as this can cause it to lose its shape.
  2. Moth Protection: Consider using cedar blocks or lavender sachets to keep moths away naturally.

Pilling Prevention

  1. Remove Pills Gently: Over time, cashmere may develop small balls of fluff known as pills. This is a natural characteristic of the fabric. Use a cashmere comb or a fabric shaver to gently remove pills and keep your garment looking fresh.

Professional Cleaning

  1. Dry Clean with Caution: While hand washing is preferred, if you choose to dry clean, ensure that your cleaner is experienced in handling delicate cashmere. Always mention any specific stains or concerns.
By following these care guidelines, you’ll preserve the softness, warmth, and beauty of your cashmere for years to come, ensuring it remains a cherished part of your wardrobe or home.
