First aid for stains
Cashmere is a symbol of luxury and comfort. Its fine, soft fibers provide not only warmth but also an elegant look. However, like any expensive and delicate material, it requires special care - especially in case of unexpected accidents, such as spilled coffee, a red wine stain or a drop of tomato sauce.
If something like this happens to you, don't panic ! Just follow a few simple steps.
1. Keep calm
Once you realize you've stained your favorite cashmere sweater or scarf, it's important to act quickly, but with caution . The sooner you take care of the stain, the less chance it has of soaking deep into the fibers and leaving permanent damage.
What should you definitely not do?
- Do not rub the stain with a paper towel or rough cloth – you could push the stain even deeper.
- Do not use regular washing powder or aggressive stain removers – cashmere is sensitive and chemicals can harm it.
- Do not wring or rub the fabric with force - this could damage the fibers and cause them to become matted.
2. Carefully soak in lukewarm water
The first step to removing the stain is to gently soak it in lukewarm water . The temperature of the water is key – too hot could cause the cashmere to shrink, while too cold may not be effective enough.
How to proceed correctly?
- Fill a sink or bowl with lukewarm water.
- Gently submerge the soiled part and let it soak for a while.
3. Use a gentle shampoo – if it doesn’t harm your hair, it won’t harm your cashmere either
Cashmere fibers require similar care to your hair. Aggressive detergents are not suitable as they could dry out the fibers and disrupt their structure.
The best choice is a gentle shampoo , ideally without sulfates and silicones. Just a drop is enough – a larger amount is not needed.
How to do it?
- Apply a drop of shampoo directly to the stain.
- Gently rub the fabric with your fingers – no scrubbing or rubbing!
- Leave it on for a while and then rinse with clean lukewarm water.
4. Gentle rinsing – no wringing
Once the stain is gone or has significantly lightened, it's time to rinse thoroughly. Use only lukewarm water and be careful not to distort the fabric. You can change the water in the sink, wring it out, and leave it for a while to rinse out the shampoo.
After washing, never:
Do not wring out cashmere! This could cause it to become deformed. Do not use a hair dryer or a dryer! Hot air can dry out the fibers and make them brittle. It is worth waiting for cashmere to dry naturally
5. The right way to dry: no hanging or drying!
Cashmere is very sensitive to stretching and losing its shape, so drying it is as important as cleaning it. The biggest mistake is hanging it on a hanger - wet fibers can stretch out.
So how to dry cashmere properly?
- Place on a clean towel.
- Wrap it like a pancake - gently roll it in a towel and squeeze it lightly to absorb any excess water.
- Spread the sweater out on another dry towel on a flat surface.
- Let the cashmere dry freely, for example overnight, in a well-ventilated room.
6. What to do if the stain doesn't disappear?
If after drying you find that the stain still remains, you can repeat the whole process. If it is a very stubborn stain (for example grease), we recommend Take the piece to a dry cleaner . But avoid regular dry cleaners, where aggressive products could damage your sweater.
We can recommend cleany.cz , which we have verified will take great care of your products. In addition, you can use the code SPA150 for the first wash.
