Nothing keeps you as warm and feels as nice as a cashmere scarf. But how do you properly care for it at the end of the winter season?

After wearing it, either neatly fold your scarf and place in a drawer or store folded over a padded hanger, like a pair of pants. This will prevent wrinkles.

If you get a pull or hole from wear, have it repaired right away before the issue becomes worse. A small hole can become a large hole if not cared for.

If you get a stain or your scarf becomes soiled, dry cleaning is the best option for cleaning. Some cashmere can be hand-washed, but we at Jeeves would advise against washing a cashmere scarf unless the care label indicates that this is possible.

At the end of the cold weather months, always clean your cashmere scarves before folding them carefully and putting them away. Moths have expensive taste and love cashmere. Jeeves also recommends to store your cashmere in cotton muslin bags to keep moths at bay.

As scarves are in contact with our skin, oil and fragrance can transfer onto the cashmere which besides stains will attract moths. Moths will create moth holes, which will equal an expensive repair or a scarf that is quite “holey”.

Here are Jeeves tips to properly take care of cashmere scarves:

• Clean your scarf if it gets stained or soiled.
• Neatly fold your scarf when you are not wearing it.
• Repair holes or pulls sooner rather than later.
• To prevent moth holes, have your scarf cleaned before putting it away for the season, even if it looks clean.
