As the weather turns colder and we bundle up in our favorite winter clothes, it's important to remember that these garments often require special care to stay looking their best.
Washing Wool and Cashmere
Wool and cashmere are luxurious fabrics that provide exceptional warmth, but they can be delicate. Hand-washing is always the safest option, but if you prefer machine washing, use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent specifically designed for delicates.
Caring for Down Jackets and Coats
Down jackets and coats are winter essentials, but washing them incorrectly can damage the delicate down filling. Use a front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle with cold water and a down-specific detergent. Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to help fluff the down.
Preventing Pilling
Pilling is a common problem with winter fabrics like wool and fleece. To minimize pilling, turn garments inside out before washing and avoid over-drying. A fabric shaver can help remove pills that have already formed.
