3 tips to wake up your wool and cashmere for fall and winter
One of the best things about the fall is rediscovering your cherished wool and cashmere clothes. Stored away for the summer they can’t wait to warm you up on those chilly morning walks to the office. But, like you and me, they can also need waking up and loving care to make sure they are in top condition for the fall and winter seasons. Luxurious fibers like wool and cashmere respond brilliantly to a little extra care and attention.
At Steamery we offer expert advice and innovative tools to help you revive your wool and cashmere pieces, making them look and feel as good as new.
1. Inspect and refresh
You check your weather app and it’s promising to be a crisp, frosty Monday morning. Instead of pulling your favorite sweater from the wardrobe before rushing to work, take it out at the weekend to make sure it’s as ready for fall as you are.
Are there any signs of damage such as moth holes or fabric pilling? Is it a little dusty from storage? A gentle brushing with a Lint Brush can remove dust and surface dirt. And why not refresh it with the Pilo 2 Fabric Shaver - perfect for tackling any pilling, restoring the smooth texture of your garments. Good as new!
2. Steam for freshness
Steaming is like a spa for your clothes and it’s a crucial step in reviving stored garments. It not only removes wrinkles. Did you know that it eliminates any lingering storage odors and refreshes the fibers? Our Cirrus 3 Iron Steamer is designed to be gentle on delicate fall fabrics like wool and cashmere. So, you probably don’t need to handwash your garments, steaming makes sure they are ready to wear without the need for washing. If you do need to wash your garments, use a detergent specially developed to care for wool and cashmere like our Delicate Laundry Detergent.
3. Proper storage and care
Now you and your clothes are ready for colder fall and winter weather. All you need to do now is make sure they have a nice place to stay. Wool and cashmere should be kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using Fabric Spray will add a pleasant, long-lasting, and fresh fragrance. And it will even protect your valuable garments from moths and other pests. Our two new Fabric Spray scents Sandalwood and Citrus & Cedar are both perfect for sprucing up your wool and cashmere sweaters.
Taking proper care of your wool and cashmere not only keeps them looking beautiful but also extends their lifespan. Kinder to your clothes, kinder to the environment, kinder to your wallet. Our range of clothing care products is designed to simplify and enhance your clothing care routine, ensuring that your favorite pieces last for years to come.
