Cleaning, care and storage
How to clean and care for your cashmere poncho properly
Cashmere wool is one of the finest natural fibres in the world and convinces through its exceptional softness, its natural warmth and its pleasantly light feel. With the right care, the special qualities of the fibres and the elegant look of your poncho are preserved for many years.
How to store your cashmere poncho properly
The right storage makes a decisive contribution to preserving the exceptional softness, natural suppleness and elegant look of your cashmere poncho over the long term. With a few simple measures, the special qualities of the fine cashmere fibres and the luxurious comfort are preserved for many years.
Regular care
• Air it rather than washing it often
Cashmere is often called “self-cleaning”. That is not quite right – the fibre does not clean itself. But it binds odours inside the fibre and releases them again when aired, and odour-causing bacteria find poor conditions on its dry surface. That is why a cashmere poncho rarely needs washing: aired overnight, it is fresh again the next morning. Whatever has soaked into the fibre – red wine, oil, sweat – has to be washed out.
• Handle pilling gently
Slight bobbling is a natural property of the fine fibres in high-quality cashmere. Fluff can be removed carefully with a cashmere comb or a special fabric shaver if needed.
• Give the fibres time to recover
After wearing, it is a good idea to let the poncho rest for a day now and then. This allows the fine cashmere fibres to relax and keep their natural shape.
Washing
• Clean only when needed
Washing too often puts unnecessary strain on the delicate cashmere fibres.
• Hand washing recommended
Wash the poncho gently by hand in cold to lukewarm water (max. 30 °C) with a mild wool or cashmere detergent.
• Alternatively: a gentle wool cycle
If recommended by the manufacturer, a particularly gentle wool or delicates cycle at a maximum of 30 °C can be used.
• Do not rub or wring
Simply move the poncho gently through the water and then press it out carefully.
Drying
• Dry flat
After washing, carefully ease the poncho into shape and let it dry lying flat on a towel.
• No direct sunlight
Strong heat and direct sun can strain the fine natural fibres and affect the colour.
• Do not tumble dry
The heat of a tumble dryer can cause shrinking and permanent damage to the fibres.
Storage
• Store folded
Cashmere ponchos should not be hung up for long periods, as the material can be distorted by its own weight.
• Store dry and clean
Before storage, the poncho should be completely dry and clean.
• Natural moth protection
Cedar wood or lavender sachets help to protect the precious natural fibres during storage.
Good to know
Cashmere wool is one of the finest natural fibres in the world. It unites exceptional softness, pleasant warmth and a remarkably low weight. With careful care, your cashmere poncho keeps its natural elegance, its shape and its luxurious comfort for many years.
1. Before storage
• Store only when clean
Before longer storage, the poncho should be clean and completely dry. Residues of skin oils, perfume or dirt can strain the fine cashmere fibres over time.
• Let it dry completely
Even a little residual moisture can lead to odours or fibre damage during storage.
• Remove light pilling
Before putting it away, small bobbles or pilling can be removed carefully with a cashmere comb.
2. Storing correctly
• Folded rather than hung up
Cashmere ponchos should always be stored lying flat and folded. Hanging them up for longer periods can affect the shape of the poncho through its own weight.
• Store cool and dry
A dry, well-ventilated wardrobe offers ideal conditions for storing fine cashmere fibres.
• Avoid direct sunlight
Strong sunlight can fade colours and put unnecessary strain on the delicate natural fibres.
3. Protecting natural fibres
• Use breathable storage
Cotton bags or fabric storage boxes protect the poncho and at the same time allow natural air circulation.
• Use natural moth protection
Cedar wood, lavender or other natural scents help protect the valuable cashmere fibres during storage.
• No airtight plastic bags
Cashmere should not be kept airtight over the long term, as the fibres need to be able to absorb moisture and release it again.
4. Preserving value over the long term
• Check now and then
For longer storage, an occasional check and a brief airing are recommended.
• Change the fold lines from time to time
If fold lines are left unchanged for a long time, permanent creases can form.
• Handling cashmere gently
The fine natural fibres benefit from relaxed storage without pressure from heavy garments.
Good to know
Cashmere wool is one of the finest natural fibres in the world. Its exceptional softness, natural warmth and low weight make it a special material. With careful storage, the comfort, shape and elegant presence of your cashmere poncho are preserved for many years.
Properties protected by correct storage
• Luxuriously soft
• Breathable & comfortable
