How to Wash and Care for Your KULE Cashmere Blend Robe

Quick answer

Hand wash your KULE Cashmere Blend Robe in cool water with a gentle wool-safe detergent, then press the water out and dry it flat. Skip the washing machine and dryer, because the 30% cashmere and 70% wool blend will felt, shrink, and lose its shape with heat and agitation.

Step-by-step care for your KULE Cashmere Blend Robe

1. Check the label and spot-test first: Read the care label on your specific robe before doing anything else, since the KULE Cashmere Blend Robe comes in multiple colorways and sizes. If you are unsure about a stain remover or detergent, test it on an inside hem first. Common mistake: treating the robe like a cotton towel and reaching for bleach or fabric softener. If the label says dry clean only, follow that instead of hand washing.
2. Pre-treat stains with cool water and wool-safe detergent: Blot the stain with a clean cloth and a small amount of gentle wool wash diluted in cool water. Work from the outside of the stain inward so you do not spread it. Do not rub hard, because friction is what causes wool fibers to mat.
3. Fill a basin with cool water and a pH-neutral wool wash: Use a sink or tub with enough cool water to let the robe move freely. Add a capful of wool-safe detergent and swirl it in before adding the robe. Never pour detergent directly onto the fabric. Water should feel cool to the touch, not warm.
4. Submerge and soak for 10 to 15 minutes: Gently press the robe down so it is fully submerged, then let it soak. Do not agitate, wring, or scrub the fabric. If the water turns very cloudy, drain and repeat with fresh cool water and a smaller amount of detergent.
5. Rinse in cool water without twisting: Drain the basin and refill with clean cool water. Press the robe down repeatedly to push water through the fibers, then drain again. Repeat until the water runs clear and no suds remain. Never lift the robe by one shoulder when it is full of water, because the weight can stretch the seams. Support the robe with both hands when moving it.
6. Remove excess water by pressing, not wringing: Lay the robe flat on a clean, dry bath towel. Roll the towel and robe together like a jelly roll, then press down firmly with your palms. Unroll and repeat with a second dry towel if the robe still feels heavy. Wringing or twisting will distort the weave and the striped pattern.
7. Dry flat away from heat and direct sun: Lay the robe flat on a drying rack or a clean towel, reshaping the shoulders, sleeves, and hem as it dries. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from radiators, space heaters, or vents. Flip it once after a few hours so the underside dries evenly. Hanging a wet wool-blend robe on a line can stretch the shoulders. A fan on low speed can speed drying without adding heat.
