A short how-to video explaining how to wash cashmere at home. The speaker recommends using a delicate cycle with a cashmere-specific detergent, avoiding wringing, removing excess water by rolling the garment gently in a towel, and laying the garment flat to 'block' it so shoulders and shape are preserved.
Now you don't have to dry clean your cashmere. That is not a truth. So what you're going to do if you want to wash your cashmere at home is you want to wash it on delicate. You want to use a special cashmere wash. I like the laundress, but there are others that make it. And when you wash it, you're going to wash it on delicate, then you're going to take it out of washing machine. Never want to wring out your cashmere to get the water out. That will ruin it. But take it in a towel, right? And you are going to roll it gently. Hey, not even that. You can be a little aggressive. You want to get it out, but you're going to. This is going to wring it out in a nice, gentle way. Then once the water is out, you are going to block it, meaning you don't want to hang it. Because if you hang it, it's going to get droopy in the shoulders. You're going to get shoulder boobs, and we don't want that with knits. So you're going to lay it as you want it to be, right? You can even go like that with the arms. And then you're going to let it dry. That will help it retain its shape. It's not going to stretch out the fibers, it's going to keep it fresh and your cashmere will last you longer.
