CASHMERE CARE
The CoSTANZA recommodations to maintain your cashmere
My styles are made from high-quality cashmere yarns. To keep them intact year after year, it suits to bring particular attention to them. They will love it.
Wash your cashmere every 3 to 4 wears
Cashmere loves water: the more you wash your sweater, the better it will be.
Gently iron with a demp cloth
Iron very gently with stream and on the wrong side if necessary.
Wash using a cold wool cycle
For optimal washing, put your sweater inside out, use a cold cycle and do not tumble dry.
Remove pills
Pilling is a natural phenomenon due to an excess of material. Add vinegar to the rinse water and use an anti-pilling comb if necessary.
Use an Absolut cashmere shampoo and avoid softeners
Traditional detergents are not suitable for cashmere. They're composition may dim it's color/shine. If needed, use a special wool detergant containing no bleaching or enzimes.
Use a moth repellent
To ward off moths use cedar blocks which are natural repellent and diffuse a delicious woody scent.
Air-dry your cashmere flat
Do not use a tumple dryer or dry your cashmere on a radioater. These methods would brun the fibers and make the cashmere lose its shine. The water would also weight it down and deform it.
