4 tips from The Laundress about Fabric and Cashmere Care

Tip 1...
Only store cashmere and wool in breathable fabric like cotton or linen.
Moths can't get in and it help prevent discoloration. Same rules for silk. (Clos-ette always Preaches this one, and even wrote this into my book SHOP YOUR CLOSET!)
Tip 2
Always treat underarms,collars and cuffs with a stain remover on white shirts even if the stain is not visable. The stain builds up over time and can breakdown the fiber- (LOVE THIS)
Tip 3
If you have to use bleach. Please know that bleach cancels out detergent. Run a separate cycle.
Tip 4
To prevent colors from fading, hang darks to dry or use the dryer on low heat and always wash your item inside out in cold water with a detergent that has color guard like the laundress darks detergent.

Thanks for the extra tips guys!!!

XOXO
