Fill a clean basin or sink with lukewarm water. Never use hot water as it shrinks cashmere fibers.
Use a mild, pH-neutral detergent designed for wool/cashmere. Avoid regular laundry detergent, bleach, or fabric softener.
Turn garment inside out. Submerge in water and gently swish for 2-3 minutes. Don't rub, wring, or twist.
Let the cashmere soak to loosen dirt and oils. Don't exceed 30 minutes.
Drain soapy water and refill with clean lukewarm water. Repeat until water runs clear (2-3 rinses).
Press garment against basin to remove water. Never wring. Roll in clean towel to absorb moisture.
Reshape to original dimensions. Lay flat on drying rack away from direct sunlight and heat. Never hang (causes stretching).
Fold (don't hang) and store in breathable cotton bag with cedar blocks to prevent moths.
