You’ve found your perfect WarmGlee cashmere hat—it’s soft, warm, and goes with every outfit. Now, how do you make sure it stays that way for years to come? Taking care of cashmere is simpler than you think, and a little extra care goes a long way in keeping your hat looking and feeling like new.
First, let’s start with washing. Cashmere is a delicate material, so it’s best to hand wash it instead of throwing it in the washing machine. Fill a sink with cool water and a gentle, mild detergent (avoid harsh soaps or fabric softeners—they can damage the cashmere fibers). Gently swirl the hat in the water for a few minutes, then rinse it with cool water until all the soap is gone. Don’t wring or twist the hat—this can stretch or misshape it. Instead, lay it flat on a clean towel, roll the towel up to squeeze out excess water, then lay the hat flat to air dry. Never put it in the dryer or hang it up to dry—hanging can stretch it, and the dryer’s heat will ruin the cashmere.
When it comes to storing your cashmere hat, fold it gently and place it in a drawer or a soft bag. Avoid hanging it, as this can cause the hat to lose its shape over time. If you’re storing it for the summer, you can add a small sachet of cedar chips to keep moths away—they love cashmere, but cedar will keep them at bay. And if your hat gets a small stain, spot clean it right away with a damp cloth and a little mild detergent—don’t rub too hard, or you’ll damage the fibers.
One thing to remember: cashmere gets softer with each wash (as long as you wash it gently!). So don’t be afraid to clean it when it gets dirty—just follow these simple steps, and it will stay soft and cozy for seasons.
