How to Remove Pilling from Cashmere Clothes
Materials Needed:
- Cashmere comb or fabric shaver
- Clean, flat surface
Steps:
1. Lay the Garment Flat:
- Find a clean, flat surface and lay the cashmere garment flat. Smooth out any wrinkles to make the fabric as flat as possible.
2. Choose the Right Tool:
- Use a cashmere comb or a fabric shaver specifically designed for delicate fabrics. These tools are gentler on the fabric compared to regular razors or scissors.
3. Remove Pills with a Cashmere Comb:
- Hold the garment taut with one hand and gently drag the cashmere comb across the surface of the garment in one direction. Avoid pressing too hard to prevent damaging the fibers.
- Collect the pills and dispose of them after each pass.
4. Remove Pills with a Fabric Shaver:
- Turn on the fabric shaver and gently run it over the surface of the cashmere. Move in a single direction with light pressure.
- Frequently check the shaver’s collection compartment and empty it to maintain effectiveness.
5. Check Progress:
- Regularly check the progress and the condition of the fabric. Stop immediately if you notice any signs of damage or thinning.
6. Final Touches:
- After removing the pills, gently shake the garment to remove any loose fibers.
- Lay the garment flat and reshape it if necessary.
7. Prevent Future Pilling:
- To minimize future pilling, handle your cashmere garments gently, avoid friction from heavy jackets or bags, and wash them properly following the care instructions.
By following these steps, you can effectively remove pills from your cashmere clothes and maintain their smooth, luxurious appearance. Regular maintenance and gentle handling will help keep your cashmere looking its best.
