-
Air out cashmere and wool: Simply let your cashmere and wool items air out. This is one of the gentlest ways to refresh them.
-
Hand wash recommended: Wash cashmere and wool by hand in lukewarm water (max 30°C) using a high-quality wool detergent. Use only a small amount – less is more.
Don’t soak or wring: Avoid long soaking and wringing – it can damage the fibers.
Gently press out water: Press out excess water gently with your hands or a towel. Do not twist.
Dry flat: Lay flat on a clean towel, reshape, and let air dry. Don’t hang or tumble dry.
Keep away from heat: Avoid sunlight or heaters – heat can shrink or fade the fabric.
Steam or iron with care: If needed, steam or iron gently at max 30°C.
-
Machine washing is possible – often even better: Modern washing machines can clean cashmere and wool more gently and effectively than hand washing. Still, care is essential.
Check the care label: Only machine wash if the label says it's safe.
Pre-treat stains: Gently pre-treat with a mild wool detergent.
Use a laundry bag: Place items in a mesh laundry bag to reduce friction and protect fibers.
Select a delicate cycle: Cold water, gentle cycle, max. 600 RPM. Avoid strong spinning.
Use wool detergent only: No bleach or fabric softeners. Use only a small amount – less is more.
Wash separately from rough items: Avoid mixing with zippers, Velcro, or heavy fabrics.
Dry flat and reshape: Do not wring. Lay flat on a towel and reshape gently.
-
Let cashmere and wool air dry: Allow your cashmere and wool styles to air dry naturally. Avoid using a dryer, as the heat and agitation can cause shrinkage or damage. Keep it away from direct sunlight or heat sources that can fade or distort the fabric.
