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.
