Eco Cashmere Throw Care: Washing and Storage Tips

Quick answer

Hand wash your Eco Cashmere Throw in cool water with a gentle wool wash, then lay flat to dry. Store it folded in a breathable cotton bag away from sunlight and moths.

How to wash and store your Eco Cashmere Throw

1. Step 1: Spot clean first: Check for stains and gently dab with a damp cloth and a drop of mild wool wash. Do not rub, as that can damage the fibers. Rubbing can cause pilling; always dab instead.
2. Step 2: Hand wash in cool water: Fill a basin with cool water and add a small amount of wool or cashmere shampoo. Submerge the throw and gently swish for 2-3 minutes. Do not wring or twist. Twisting while wet can stretch the throw out of shape.
3. Step 3: Rinse and remove excess water: Drain the soapy water and refill with cool water. Rinse gently until no suds remain. Press the throw against the basin to remove water, then roll it in a clean towel to absorb moisture. Never wring or spin; pressing and rolling are safer.
4. Step 4: Lay flat to dry: Place the throw on a dry towel or drying rack away from direct heat and sunlight. Reshape it gently while damp. Do not hang, as gravity can distort the shape. Hanging can cause the throw to stretch unevenly.
5. Step 5: Store folded in a breathable bag: Once fully dry, fold the throw loosely and place it in a cotton storage bag or a pillowcase. Keep it in a cool, dark closet away from moths and moisture. Add cedar blocks or lavender sachets for natural moth repellent. Plastic bags trap moisture; always use breathable fabric.
