Cashmere is a delicate, precious and rare yarn and therefore also expensive compared to wool.
Taking care of them in the right way extends the life of Pure Cashmere garments. Here are our suggestions.
How do you hand wash Cashmere?
This is certainly the preferable washing method, because it is more delicate: hand washing Cashmere means using a basin with cold or at most lukewarm water and a delicate and neutral detergent designed for Cashmere or wool garments, immersing the garment in it turned inside out and massaging it gently without rubbing it or wringing it, rinsing it delicately with running water that is always cold or at most lukewarm.
Can cashmere be washed in the washing machine?
Even though we do not recommend it and prefer to exclusively hand wash the precious and delicate Cashmere , the answer is actually yes: Cashmere garments can be washed in the washing machine.
However, you need to pay even more attention than when washing Cashmere by hand.
If the advice for washing Cashmere by hand was to first put the garment inside out, if you wash Cashmere in the washing machine this may not be enough to preserve it and for this reason it is advisable to put it in a specific bag for the underwear washing.
At this point, a small amount of delicate detergent designed for delicate garments such as cashmere or wool can be added to the washing machine .
The washing machine program must be short (better not to exceed half an hour) and above all chosen from the most delicate and cold ones.
Avoid spinning or at least program a very low number of revolutions, usually the minimum is 400 revolutions.
In this way, washing Cashmere in the washing machine will also be as less invasive as possible, but always remember to prefer a delicate hand wash to ensure longer life of Cashmere garments.
