17. How should I look after my scarf?
It only takes a little care to make sure your Savile Rogue scarf keeps its legendary softness and luxurious touch for many, many years to come.
• Remove surface soiling by gentle brushing - this will help prevent stains later on.
• Treat stains immediately with cold water, blot dry with a clean cloth, but never use a paper towel.
• After wearing, lay the scarf flat, as this helps to get rid of odours such as cigarette smoke.
• Always store cashmere wool folded and allow breathing space.
• Clean your scarf before storing, as moths are attracted to body oils and dirt and not the actual wool.
• Repel moths using lavender, rosemary, thyme, cloves, cedar or orange peel tied up in gauze or a handkerchief. Never place them directly onto the scarf.
• Whilst cashmere can be hand-washed, for woven items such as the Savile Rogue scarf, we recommend dry cleaning. This should be done sparingly, once a season is usually enough. Excessive dry cleaning can give a glazed appearance and over exposure to chemicals can degrade the fibre over a prolonged period. Never tumble dry
