Caring for Cashmere and Cashmere Blends
- Always turn your knitwear inside out.
- We recommend that cashmere and cashmere blends are treated delicately and washed by hand.
- Wash at a 30°c which is a hand warm solution, add your wool detergent or hair shampoo to the water and then gently squeeze your garment in the solution then rinse in cold water.
- You can soak cashmere if the garment is stained, this will help to loosen any dirt.
- Always dry away from direct heat sources, never dry on a radiator, in front of a fire or in strong direct sunlight and definitely not by tumble drying! You can spin your garment in a washing machine before drying or simply squeeze out the excess water before drying.
- Line dry, air dry or flat dry is recommended.
- Remove any soiling immediately by brushing gently and rinsing in cold water. Blot dry with a clean cloth. Wash if necessary, with John Smedley wool care products or hair shampoo
- Air your wool garment after wearing this helps the wool to breath, regain shape and naturally deodorise.
- Store folded and stacked, hanging on coat hangers can distort the shoulder line.
