The Art of Caring for Your Cashmere
" At Around Mrs. O, we believe that every piece of cashmere is a true treasure—an heirloom of softness and comfort. To preserve the beauty and longevity of your cashmere, we invite you to adopt a delicate routine, one filled with care and respect for this exceptional material. "
Washing: A Gentle Caress
To preserve the softness and texture of your cashmere, washing should be a tender act. We recommend hand washing in cold water, using a mild detergent specifically designed for delicate fibers. If you prefer machine washing, select the wool program at a low temperature and place your garment in a laundry bag to avoid excessive agitation.
Drying: A Moment of Serenity
Just like you, cashmere enjoys peaceful drying. After gently removing excess water with a towel, lay your garment flat to dry, away from direct sunlight and intense heat. Never hang your cashmere to dry, as this could distort the fibers.
Storing: A Privileged Space
To preserve your cashmere pieces, store them in a dry, well-ventilated space, away from direct light. Cashmere loves to breathe, so avoid storing it in airtight plastic bags. A well-ventilated closet or a cotton garment box is ideal for preserving the shape and texture of your cashmere.
Pilling: A Subtle Elevation
Over time, it’s natural for pills to appear on your cashmere. But this should never tarnish the beauty of your piece. To restore its splendor, we recommend using a fabric shaver, such as the PILO by STEAMERY, available in our e-shop. This refined tool will delicately remove pills, returning your garments to their original appearance, while respecting the precious fibers.
Ironing: A Touch of Softness
If light ironing is necessary, use a steam iron on a low setting. Gently pass the iron at a reasonable distance, avoiding direct contact with the fabric. You can also use the steam from a humidifier or a steam iron to add softness without risking damage to the fibers.
Time: A Patience Rewarded
Cashmere is a living material that grows more beautiful with time. Each wear and each wash will make it softer and more comfortable. By caring for your cashmere, you preserve its legacy and allow each piece to bloom, telling its story through the years.
For the best care of your Around Mrs. O cashmere pieces, we recommend following these steps with the same delicacy you feel when wearing them.
Caring for your cashmere is an act of love for this precious material. With the right care, your Around Mrs. O pieces will become timeless companions—luxurious and soft as the day you first discovered them.
