Steaming offers a gentle alternative to pressing when refreshing your cashmere garments. Hold your steamer at least six inches away from the fabric, allowing the steam to relax wrinkles naturally without direct contact that could damage the delicate fibers.
Always use a pressing cloth or protective barrier between the steam and your garment if working closer. The moisture helps restore the fabric's natural drape while maintaining its soft texture.
For best results, steam your cashmere pieces while they hang freely, working from top to bottom in smooth, even passes. This method preserves the integrity of the fibers far better than traditional ironing, ensuring your investment pieces maintain their beautiful shape and feel.
