Cashmere care instruction

 Cashmere is very delicate fibers. They require an exceptional type of care. The care instruction provided on the label may not be sufficient to understand. If your cashmere product like sweater or scarves have short or recycle or cheap fiber, then the caring or handling becomes more difficult.

But if you do have a genuine cashmere product then follow these steps to care it properly.

  • Do not use strong detergent
  • Cashmere is the most excellent wool, so choose the unique cleanser made for woolen products
  • If you can't find such detergent then use a mild detergent like baby shampoo
  • If you can find silicon-based softner, you can use it with mild detergent, or if you see silicon softner based mild detergent or shampoo, you can use that too.
  • Using mild cleaning agent enhances the properties of feeling, color, etc.
