Cashmere is a soft and expensive material, and improper cleaning can cause problems such as shrinkage, balling, and deformation. It should be followed the core principle of "gentle cleaning, gentle operation, and correct drying." The specific cleaning methods and considerations are as follows:

I. Choose a cleaning method

(1) Hand washing (preferred)

Preparations

Separate clothing: Separate cashmere products from clothing of other materials to avoid dyeing or friction damage; Wash dark and light cashmere separately to prevent serial coloring.

Preparation Tools: Choose a clean shallow tub or bath and avoid using a rough container to scratch the fabric; Prepare cashmere-specific detergent (neutral, containing cashmere care ingredients), strictly prohibit the use of alkaline laundry detergents and soaps, and do not use cleaning products containing bleach or fluorescent agents.

Mixing Solution: Dissolve the detergent in warm water below 30 ° C (with a slight cold taste to the hands), stir well, and the concentration should not be too high (generally 10-20ml detergent per 5 liters of water) to avoid residual damage to fibers.

Cleaning steps

Soak: Gently put the cashmere product into the wash. The soaking time is controlled to 10-15 minutes. Do not soak for a long time (more than 30 minutes can cause fibre damage and uneven dyeing).

Gently wash: Use the palm of your hand to gently press and squeeze the clothing. Focus on cleaning the collar and cuffs and other dirty areas, avoid rubbing and wringing hard to prevent the cashmere fibers from cracking and deforming.

Rinse: Rinse with water 2-3 times repeatedly until there is no foam in the water and no detergent residue (residue will cause the clothing to harden and mold). When washing for the last time, add a small amount of cashmere dressing and soak for 5 minutes before scooping out to improve the softness of the fabric.

Dehydration Treatment

Press the washing-clean cashmere product gently to squeeze out some of the moisture. Do not wring it hard (it will destroy the fiber structure and cause deformation).

Wrap the cashmere product with a clean large bath towel. Press gently to suck the water. Remove the towel after absorbing the excess water.

(2) Machine wash (use with caution)

It applies only to cashmere products labelled as "machine washable." Machine wash of unlabelled products is strictly prohibited. The steps are as follows:

Place cashmere products in a laundry bag (preferably a double-layered wash bag) and avoid harsh friction with the lining of the washing machine or other clothing during washing.

The washing machine chooses the "cashmere special step," "wool step" or "gentle step," the water temperature is set below 30 ° C, the washing time is controlled within 15 minutes, and the dehydration speed is not set too high (recommended below 800 rpm / min).

Only add neutral detergent for cashmere, no softener, bleach, etc.

Immediately after the machine wash, remove the clothes and dispose of them in the dehydration mode of hand-washing to avoid being immersed in the washing machine for a long time.

(iii) Dry cleaning (special case selection)

For cashmere products with complex structures (such as more decorative items, embroidery), valuable items or items that cannot be handled on their own (such as cashmere coats), You can choose a regular dry cleaning shop, clearly inform the clerk about "cashmere material," and require the use of special dry cleaning solvent for cashmere to avoid the hardness and fading of the fabric due to improper dry cleaning solution. However, it is important to note that frequent dry cleaning can damage the cashmere fibers and is recommended only when the clothing is dirty or unable to be washed by hand / machine.

II. Drying method

Flatten dry: Flatten the dehydrated cashmere products on a clean clothes dryer, ventilation rack or on a flat surface with a clean towel. Arrange the clothing in its original shape to avoid pulling and deformation.

Choose a drying environment: Place it in a cool, ventilated, dry place and avoid direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays will damage the cashmere fibers, causing the fabric to yellow and become brittle); At the same time, stay away from high-temperature heat sources such as heating and air conditioning vents to prevent local overheating and shrinking.

Forbidden drying: Never put cashmere products in a dryer, high temperature will cause the cashmere fiber to contract and harden, completely destroying the clothing form.

III. Follow-up Care and Precautions

Ironing: If clothing needs to be styled, after fully drying, use a steam iron to select the "wool / cashmere stage," the temperature is controlled below 110 ° C, and the iron cannot directly touch the fabric (it needs to cover with a thin cotton cloth), and use "empty steam" to iron to avoid the damage of the fibers caused by the pressure.

Acceptance:

After drying, fold and store cashmere products to avoid hanging (long-term hanging will cause the clothing to stretch and deform due to gravity).

Place insecticides (such as mothballs, lavender bags) when intended, but wrap the insecticides with tissue to avoid direct contact with the fabric causing corrosion; At the same time, choose dry, airy wardrobes to avoid mold breeding in a humid environment.

Other taboos:

Avoid frequent washing, cashmere products wash poor, generally wear 3-5 times before washing, local stains can be dipped in cotton swab with a small amount of neutral detergent gently wipe, no need to clean the whole.

If the clothing is inadvertently contaminated with oil, it should not be wiped with an organic solvent such as gasoline, and the surface oil should be immediately sucked away with a paper towel and treated according to the normal cleaning process.

When a small ball rises, trim gently with a dedicated ball trimmer to avoid tearing with your hands to prevent the fiber from falling out.
