At Mandkhai, we believe cashmere is more than just a fabric—it’s an investment in timeless luxury. When cared for properly, it stays as soft, warm, and beautiful as the day you first wore it. With years of experience, we've perfected the best practices to maintain the exceptional quality of cashmere. Here are our expert tips to ensure your cashmere pieces remain as elegant and luxurious as ever.
1. Gentle Washing
Hand wash your cashmere garments or use the delicate cycle on your washing machine with cool water. Always use a mild detergent specifically designed for cashmere or wool to preserve softness and colour. Wash garments inside out to reduce friction and prevent surface wear, keeping the fibres smooth.
2. Drying Properly
Avoid wringing or twisting your cashmere. Instead, gently press it with a towel to absorb excess moisture, then lay it flat to dry, reshaping it while still malleable. Never hang cashmere, as it can lose its shape. Flip the garment halfway through the drying process for even moisture absorption.
3. Steaming
Gently steam your cashmere to refresh its softness and texture, restoring it to its original luxury feel.
4. Storage Matters
Store your cashmere in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. Use breathable garment bags or cotton pouches to protect it from dust and moths. Always store your cashmere flat to avoid stretching the fibres and maintain its shape.
5. Dealing with Pilling
Pilling is a natural part of cashmere’s life cycle. Let it shed naturally, but if needed, use a cashmere comb or fabric shaver to gently remove pills and restore the fabric’s smooth texture.
6. Rotate Your Pieces
Rotate your cashmere garments to preserve their shape and softness. Wearing the same piece every day can cause it to lose its elegance faster, so give each piece time to rest, allowing the fibres to retain their luxurious feel.
