How to wash cashmere correctly?
Cashmere likes to hand wash in warm water (about 30 ° C) with a mild detergent. To care for cashmere products, use bleach-free powders designed for woolen or silk items.
After completely dissolving the detergent, lower the cashmere product into it and wash it with light movements. Do not rub with excessive force, do not wring it, do not squeeze it tightly, so as not to deform the soft fibers of the fabric. After washing, rinse the cashmere several times in the water of the same temperature (this is important, since things can sit down due to temperature differences) until the foam is completely washed out. Lightly press and flatten the product on a horizontal surface. This is how the thing should dry up. Straighten creases and cashmere will not require ironing after drying.
