I splurged recently and bought myself two pure cashmere sweaters. So super soft and silky
I was wondering how best to wash the sweaters. The care label says to hand wash. My sweaters came with a sample packet of a cashmere detergent so I plan to use that when I need to wash the sweaters for the first time. I can buy a bottle of the detergent from the company web site but I know there are other laundry detergents for cashmere. Has anyone used The Laundress Wool and Cashemere Shampoo? It has a cedar fragrance. Is the fragrance really strong or subtle? I've read on various web sites that special cashmere detergents aren't needed. Ivory detergent, Woolite Delicates, and other mild detergents can be used. Some web sites even say that you can put a cashmere sweater into the washing machine on a gentle / delicate cycle even if the label says to hand wash. Does anyone know if this is really true or not? I really don't want to ruin my sweaters.
