NaBloCleanPoMo Day #12 Cashmere

I learned a few years ago that instead of dry cleaning cashmere, you can hand wash it.  I have to say, hand-washing at our house is made much easier by the fact that we have a utility sink in the laundry room.  If that doesn't make you jealous, it should.  I have never had a utility sink at all....and having one in the laundry room is awesome!

Dirty cashmere sweaters

Step 1: Soak sweaters in cold water with a hand-wash detergent (I used Woolite) for 20 minutes

Step 2: Drain the water out of the sink.  Then press as much water out of the sweaters as you can (do not wring)

Step 3: Lay sweaters on a towel and use the towel to press even more water out

Step 4: Lay sweaters flat to dry

Once they dry, the cashmere sweaters will be fresh, clean, and ready to wear!
