HOW TO CARE FOR CASHMERE
IF YOUR PIECE CONTAINS CASHMERE, YOU CAN LEAVE IT OUT IN OPEN AIR TO REFRESH.
IN THE CASE OF A STAIN, HAND WASH IN COLD WATER USING CASHMERE SOAP OR DELICATE SHAMPOO, AVOIDING BLEACH. REMOVE EXCESS WATER BY ROLLING YOUR CASHMERE INSIDE OF A TOWEL AND LIGHTLY SQUEEZING OUT ANY REMAINING WATER. DO NOT WRING. BE SURE TO CAREFULLY COMB CASHMERE PIECES TO REMOVE ANY SMALL BALLS OF FIBER PRIOR TO WASHING.
GENTLY RESHAPE YOUR GARMENT WHILE DAMP AND LAY FLAT TO DRY IN THE SHADE. ALLOW GARMENT TO FULLY DRY BEFORE TRANSPORTING.
FOR PROFESSIONAL DRY CLEANING, CHOOSE A SOLVENT THAT DOES NOT CONTAIN TRICHLOROETHYLENE. AVOID UNNECESSARY WASHES, AND DO NOT MACHINE WASH. FREQUENT WASHING OR DRY CLEANING WILL DAMAGE THE FIBERS AND COULD POTENTIALLY FADE ANY BRIGHT COLORS.
HOW TO CARE FOR MERINO WOOL
FOR SPOT TREATMENTS, USE A SOFT CLOTH TO DAB STAINS. AVOID RUBBING.
TO WASH YOUR MERINO WOOL GARMENT, FILL A SINK OR BASIN WITH LUKEWARM WATER AND ADD A WOOL WASH. SUBMERGE GARMENT IN THE WATER AND AVOID AGITATION AND SCRUBBING. SOAK FOR 10-20 MINUTES.
RINSE GARMENT THOROUGHLY IN CLEAN, LUKEWARM WATER UNTIL WATER RUNS CLEAR. BE SURE TO FULLY SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE GARMENT WHILE RINSING TO AVOID STRETCHING THE KNITTING.
GENTLY SQUEEZE OUT EXCESS WATER. DO NOT TWIST OR WRING THE GARMENT. WRAP THE ITEM IN A CLEAN, DRY TOWEL TO REMOVE ANY REMAINING WATER. RESHAPE THE GARMENT TO ITS ORIGINAL SHAPE AND LAT FLAT ON A DRY TOWEL TO AIRDRY. AVOID OVERSTRETCHING THE GARMENT WHILE ITS DAMP; IT CAN DISTORT THE DIMENSIONS OF THE GARMENT ONCE DRIED. AVOID DIRECT SUNLIGHT OR HEAT SOURCES.
AVOID DRY CLEANING. THE CHEMICALS USED IN DRY CLEANING FLUID CAN DAMAGE THE FIBER.
