What You'll Need:

  • White vinegar
  • Distilled water
  • Small brush (such as a toothbrush)
  • Towel
  • Soft cloth

Instructions:

  1. Mix 1 part white vinegar and 4 parts distilled water in a small bowl or container.
  2. Using a soft, clean cloth, dab the mixture directly onto the stain.
  3. Once the stain is dampened, gently use the small brush to start scrubbing the stain in circular motions.
  4. Repeat this step, changing the liquid and re-dabbing the stain as necessary, until there is no more evidence of the stain.
  5. Once all traces of the stain are gone, use a clean towel to soak up any remaining liquid and then allow the garment to air dry completely.

Tips for Maintaining Cashmere:

  • Always read and follow care instructions provided on label of each item.
  • Avoid overloading the washing machine and hand wash whenever possible.
  • Use a gentle detergent, such as Woolite or one specifically designed for cashmere.
  • Hand wash in lukewarm water and ensure that the liquid doesn’t get too hot.
  • Dry garments flat and away from direct sunlight.
  • Store clothing in an airtight container, preferably made from breathable materials.
