CLEANING:

DRY CLEAN:

Professional dry clean (a single clean with a very soft product) is the best way for your Cashmere and Pashmina products to keep their original qualities as long as possible.

COLD OR COOL WASH (30 to 35°C maximum):

You may, if you prefer, hand or machine wash your Cashmere or Pashmina items , with cold or cool water (up to 35°C), but only from the second cleaning on (dry clean only on the first time).

Please find below a couple of basic precautions to be taken then.

WHEN?
- CASHMERE: after 10 wearings or so.
- PASHMINA: after 20 wearings or so.

HOW?

HAND WASH :
Never use bleach or chlorine
Never use corrosive laundry detergent nor any laundry softener
Never soak for a long time
Never scrub
Never wring or twist
Wash the item with cold or cool water and a little bit of mild soap or wool detergent and gently press the item with the tip of your fingers
Rinse gently but thoroughly with cold or cool water and with the tip of your fingers
Drip and compress by rolling into a terry-towel

MACHINE WASH :
Turn the sweater inside out
Place it into a cloth such as a pillowcase or sham
Place the whole into the washing machine with a little bit of wool detergent
Never use bleach or chlorine
Never use corrosive laundry detergent nor any laundry softener
Select the Wool programme
Spinning :
Pashmina : never use the spinning function of your washing machine; always hand-drip and compress by rolling into a terry-towel
Cashmere : 600 rpm maximum spin speed in washing machine

DRYING:

Never use a tumble dryer.
For an item to keep its original shape, lay it flat on a terry towel.
Never place wet items near sources of heat such as radiator or sun, for this would alter colour.
