How to Care for Cashmere and Silk So They Last a Lifetime

How to Care for Cashmere and Silk So They Last a Lifetime

Luxury fabrics deserve luxury care. With the right attention, cashmere and silk products from Cashmere House can last decades — even generations.

Caring for Cashmere

  • Always hand wash in cold water

  • Use mild or baby shampoo

  • Never twist or wring

  • Lay flat to dry on a towel

  • Store folded, never hanging

Cashmere should be washed only when necessary — frequent washing reduces fiber life.

Caring for Silk

  • Hand wash gently or dry clean

  • Avoid direct sunlight when drying

  • Iron on low heat (inside out)

  • Store in breathable fabric bags

Storage Tips

  • Use cedar or lavender instead of mothballs

  • Keep away from humidity

  • Fold neatly to avoid creases

With proper care, your shawl or kaftan becomes a lifelong companion — not a seasonal item.
