Tried to send your softest investments to the dry cleaner, only to be left with a dull and dowdy remnant of the luxury you once owned? As much as cashmere is a closet necessity, it is much too expensive these days to send off with the linens, especially when the chemicals involved actually decrease it’s life. The best way to clean cashmere? Settle yourselves, kids: Baby shampoo.
We know what your thinking – “SAY WHAT?!” – but ’tis true! Just place in a sink filled with cold water and a splash of baby shampoo, let soak for 3-5 minutes, rinse clean, squeeze gently (NO WRINGING!), then lay flat on a towel to dry. And the best part…besides having clean and refreshed cashmere that smells of baby shampoo…each washing costs just a coupla’ coins. What a designer dichotomy!
