Brush
Be sure to avoid using brushes as they can cause matting. A better alternative is to apply a little shampoo or a gentle detergent directly to the stain and then wash the garment with it.

Wine
If the red wine stain is still fresh, you should first gently dab the wine off with a cloth. Then dip the stained area in mineral water, as the carbon dioxide will help to gradually dissolve the stain from the fabric.

If the stain is still visible afterwards, you can apply some dry shampoo to the affected area, let it work and then carefully brush it out with a soft brush.

For older wine stains, whole milk can be used as a stain remover. Heat the whole milk to boiling point, then dip the stained area in the hot milk and let it soak until the milk has cooled.

Fat
To treat grease or oil stains, start by soaking up as much grease as possible with kitchen paper. Then sprinkle potato starch on the stain and leave it overnight to absorb the moisture. The next day, gently brush off the potato starch, soak the stain in hot water and then wash the garment as usual with a suitable detergent.

tomato sauce
It is essential to use cold water to rinse as hot water could set the stain permanently. Then wash the garment as usual and allow it to air dry. Tomato sauce stains can be easily removed with our special cashmere detergent.

Berries
Be sure to use cold water to rinse, as hot water could permanently burn the stains. Clean the fabric as usual and air dry it. The tomato sauce stains should be easy to remove with our cashmere detergent.

Grass

Grass stains can permanently damage your clothes if not treated properly. For best results, use alcohol, a stain remover containing hydrogen peroxide, or a gel made from gall soap and sunflower oil. Follow these steps:

1. Soak the stain in alcohol or stain remover.
2. Leave the product on for 15 minutes.
3. For a fresh stain: Wash in the washing machine using the normal wash program at a low temperature.
4. For an older stain: Wash with water as hot as possible without damaging the fabric.

What is a grass stain and what makes it special?
Grass stains, recognizable by their green color, are particularly noticeable on white and light-colored fabrics. They are caused by chlorophyll from the grass, which penetrates deep into the fibers of the fabric, especially when it is wet. Without the right treatment, these stains can remain permanently. Grass stains are one of the most resistant types of stains and require a special cleaning method.

What actually works!
Alcohol!

Yes, really - alcohol will dissolve the grass stain. As with any stain removal treatment, it is most effective on fresh stains. Choose a colorless alcohol such as vodka, gin, hand sanitizer or medical alcohol (if you have access to it). Important to know: alcohol does not dissolve dirt stains. Please do not rumble on the fabric, let the alcohol work first.

Treat the stain as follows:

1. Drip the alcohol onto the outside of the fabric to thoroughly soak the stain.
2. Then let the alcohol work for 15 minutes.
3. Then wash the garment in the washing machine using a normal cashmere wash program.

Dishwashing detergent
Place the garment in a solution containing a few drops of our Cashmere dishwashing liquid. It is best to soak the garment in this mixture overnight and then wash it in the washing machine. This method gives fairly satisfactory results, but requires a little more effort, as the garment must be left in the water for many hours. Also, be aware that most commercial dishwashing liquids contain surfactants that can be harmful to aquatic life. For environmental reasons, you should avoid such products.

White vinegar
White distilled vinegar can dissolve a grass stain, especially if it is still relatively fresh. Create a solution of equal parts white distilled vinegar and water and soak the garment in it for at least 30 minutes, ideally overnight. You can then wash the garment in the washing machine using a normal cycle. However, note that this method will not work on stains that contain both grass and dirt, and is less effective on older grass stains.

Blood
For fresh blood stains, it is best to first rinse the garment with cold water and then wash it as usual. You can also soak the affected area in a solution of 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 dl of water for a few hours. Avoid warm water as this could set the stain. If the stain is still visible after this, mix two parts baking soda with one part water, leave the mixture for half an hour, brush off the excess baking soda and dab the stain with a damp cloth before washing.

Normally, however, the stain should be easy to remove with our cashmere detergent.
