Cashmere
Cashmere is an animal fiber that consists of thin hair from the cashmere goat. Cashmere has an insulating and breathable character. The material is extremely soft, lightweight, strong and is known as the most expensive hair fiber.
Wash garments inside out as much as possible and wash delicate fabrics in a laundry bag. For colored garments, use a colored laundry detergent. White detergent may contain bleach and can only be used for pure white laundry. Certainly during the first washes, garments can give off color, so only wash with similar colors.
Tumble dryers use a lot of energy, can shrink your garment and cause faster wear. Dry your garment as much as possible on a drying rack with indirect sunlight. This is not only more sustainable, but you can also enjoy your garments for longer.
The washing instructions described are guidelines for the materials in their purest form. Before washing your garment, always check the washing label on the inside of the garment first.
Wash cashmere as little as possible to maintain quality. Preferably hang the garment to air out. If desired, wash by hand on low temperature.
Dry cashmere preferably lying on a drying rack. Gently pull the garment into shape before hanging it on the line. Never put in a tumble dryer.
Due to movement and friction, loose hairs rise and small fluffy balls are formed, this is called pilling. Remove these globules carefully with a pilling device.
Cashmere can be treated with special cashmere shampoo applied directly to the stain. Rinse manually and then wash as directed.
