· Pour specialized cashmere detergent into a basin of water with a temperature below 30°C, ensuring it mixes evenly.
· Turn the garment inside out and immerse it in the solution, allowing it to soak for 5 to 10 minutes.

1. For Lighter Cashmere Clothing:
When hanging such garments, use a hanger to prevent deformities, especially around the shoulders. Ensure the hanger does not stretch out the garment.
2. For Cashmere Overcoats:
Once you've hung your cashmere coat, cover it with a dust bag before placing it in the wardrobe. This prevents the accumulation of dust and helps maintain the garment's appearance.
3. Long-Term Storage:
Before storing for an extended period, ensure the garment is washed and thoroughly dried. Once dry, fold it neatly and place it in its original dust bag. Consider adding moth repellent soap for extra protection against pests.
Regardless of the storage method, always ensure your garments are dry. Dampness can lead to mold and attract moths.
If the garment isn't worn frequently, remember to shake it out periodically and inspect for signs of moth damage or mold growth.
