How We Clean Cashmere & Wool Safely
The biggest risk with cashmere and wool is heat and friction, which is exactly what a normal wash puts them through, and why home washing so often ends in a shrunken jumper. We take theopposite approach. Every item is inspected and its care label checked first. Stains are treatedby hand and gently, and the garment is cleaned using a method suited to the fibre rather than aharsh standard cycle. Structured pieces like coats and suits, which have linings and shapingthat water can distort, are handled with particular care. Everything is then properly finishedand reshaped, so it keeps its softness and its shape.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should cashmere and wool be dry cleaned or washed?
It depends on the item. Structured pieces like coats, blazers and suits should be professionally cleaned, as water can distort their shape and lining. Knitwear can sometimes be hand washed, but professional cleaning removes the risk of shrinking or misshaping a piece you care about.
Will dry cleaning shrink my wool jumper?
No. Shrinking is caused by heat and agitation, usually from a hot home wash or tumble dryer. Our gentle professional cleaning is designed to avoid exactly that, so your garment keeps its size and shape.
Can you remove bobbling or pilling from wool?
Pilling happens naturally when wool fibres rub together with wear. As part of finishing, we can tidy up a garment's appearance. Ask us when you drop it in and we will let you know what we can do.
How often should I clean a wool coat?
For most people, cleaning a wool coat once at the end of the season is enough, before you store it away. This removes dust and stains that can set in and attract moths over the summer.
Can you help with moth holes?
Small moth holes can sometimes be repaired by our alterations and repair service. Bring the item in and we will take a look and advise you.
