When winter comes, a warm scarf can always bring us a different kind of warmth. Friends who have worn cashmere scarves know that warmth and softness are definitely the first feeling. The warmth is definitely inferior to artificial fur. However, because of cashmere, cashmere scarves are much more troublesome to care for than ordinary scarves. Let’s take a look at the maintenance and cleaning methods of cashmere scarves with the editor of Quliu.com.

How to wash cashmere scarves

Cashmere scarves are best washed in water. You can wash them at home, using a special detergent for washing cashmere.

Cashmere is a natural fiber that needs to be cared for and maintained in a gentle way. Correct cashmere maintenance can keep it in an unchanged state for many years. Small recommendations: Washing

1. Add appropriate neutral detergent, such as shampoo, cashmere-specific detergent, etc. to warm water at 30-35°C, and soak for 10-15 minutes. Then pat and squeeze gently with your hands, avoid scrubbing hard. If the soiling is serious, you can extend the soaking time appropriately or send it directly to a dry cleaner for cleaning.

2. After washing, wash several times in warm water at about 35-40℃. Finally, put the washed cashmere products into a cloth bag and dehydrate them in the washing machine for 2 minutes. Do not wring it hard to prevent cashmere products from deforming.

3. It is recommended to wash each piece separately to avoid the colors of different clothes from mixing with each other. The soaking time of jacquard or mixed-color clothes should be shortened to prevent different colors of the same piece of clothing from mixing with each other. ?Drying: After dehydration, lay the cashmere products flat, place them in a cool place to dry, and then iron them with a hot steam iron. ?After drying: If your clothes have hair balls, you can use a wool comb to sort them out.

Five steps for hand washing cashmere

The "five-character" key points for the washing process of cashmere sweaters: "warm, knead, squeeze, suck, and spread" are also applicable to cashmere scarves

The first step - "warm" control the water temperature during washing. The water temperature cannot be too high or cold water because cashmere is a protein fiber. Around 35 degrees is the most suitable and the most comfortable temperature range for the human body. Try it with your hands. The temperature is the most suitable if it does not feel hot or cold.

Second step - "Knead". Turn the inner layer of the cashmere sweater inside out and soak it in warm water with fully dissolved detergent for about 15 minutes. Slowly squeeze the clothes until they are soaked. Do not rub. This will deform the texture of the cashmere sweater. What needs to be noted in this step is that the cleaning time of the cashmere sweater should not be too long. Just knead gently for 2-5 minutes.

The third step - "Squeeze" the washed cashmere sweater. Do not squeeze out the water by twisting. This will cause the cashmere sweater to deform. You should squeeze the water out of the cashmere sweater by gently pressing it, and then use the edge of the basin to squeeze out the excess water

Step 4 - "Suck" the washed cashmere sweater. Do not dehydrate and spin-dry the clothes. This will deform the clothes. In order to dry the clothes as quickly as possible, we can lay a bath towel flat, then unfold the washed cashmere sweater and place it on the towel. Roll up the towel and squeeze it slightly to allow the towel to absorb as much moisture as possible from the cashmere sweater

Step 5 - "Spread" The washed cashmere sweater should be spread out to dry to prevent deformation. At the same time, attention should be paid to avoiding exposure to strong sunlight, otherwise it will destroy the molecular structure of the wool. Therefore, when spreading out, choose a cool place to dry in the shade

How to maintain cashmere scarves

1. Cashmere products are made of a precious cashmere raw material. Since cashmere is light, soft, warm and slippery, it is best to wash it separately at home (do not mix it with other clothes); cashmere products of different colors should not be washed together to avoid staining.

2. Measure and record the dimensions of cashmere products before washing. Cashmere products stained with coffee, juice, blood, etc. should be sent to a specialized laundry and dyeing shop for washing.

3. Soak in cold water for 5 to 10 minutes before washing (jacquard or multi-color cashmere products should not be soaked), while gently squeezing in the water with both hands while soaking. The purpose of soaking and squeezing is to make the dirt attached to the inside of the cashmere break away from the fiber and enter the water, and the other part of the dirt is moistened and loosened. After soaking, gently squeeze out the water with both hands, and then put it into a neutral washing liquid at about 35°C and wash it gently with both hands while soaking. Do not wash with hot soapy water, scrub, or wash with highly alkaline washing powder, otherwise shrinkage, felting, and deformation will occur. When washing cashmere products at home, you can wash them with shampoo. Because cashmere fiber is a protein fiber, it is afraid of highly alkaline detergents, and shampoos are mostly "mild" neutral detergents.

4. Washed cashmere products need to be "over-acidified" (i.e., washed cashmere products are soaked in a solution containing an appropriate amount of glacial acetic acid) in order to neutralize the soap alkali remaining in the cashmere, improve the luster of the fabric, and protect the wool fibers. In the "over-acid" procedure, if there is no glacial acetic acid, white vinegar can be used instead, but it needs to be washed with clean water once after being over-acidified.

5. After rinsing with clean water at about 30℃, you can add the supporting softener according to the instructions, and the hand feeling will be better.

6. Squeeze out the water from the washed cashmere products, put them into a mesh bag and dehydrate them in the dehydration drum of the washing machine.

7. Lay the dehydrated cashmere sweater flat on a table covered with towels and quilts, measure it to its original size with a ruler, and arrange it into a prototype by hand to dry in the shade. Do not hang it to expose it to the sun.

8. After drying in the shade, use medium-temperature (about 140℃) steam to flatten and iron. Keep the iron away from the cashmere product by 0.5 to 1 cm. Do not press it on it. If you use other irons, you must put a wet towel on it.
