As the weather starts to warm up, it's essential to clean your Hangai throws and store them in the best possible way. While you might think it's good to take them to the dry cleaner, yak down, camel down, and cashmere can be damaged if harsh chemicals are used to clean your wares.

Proper care is crucial for maintaining the quality of luxury textiles to ensure they stay in pristine condition and last for years.

We recommend these easy steps to clean and preserve your blankets, throws, and accessories for next winter:

1. Gentle Cleaning, no dry-cleaning: Use the washing machine to wash one item at a time on a short, cold, delicate cycle with hand wash detergent. You can add a little natural hair conditioner to the rinse cycle. Do not overload the machine, as too much friction can cause pilling.

2. Dry Your Textiles flat or steam them if needed: Drying flat helps maintain the shape of your textiles while steaming can help remove wrinkles without causing damage.

3. Fold Carefully: Do not hang your blankets, as this could cause strain and damage to the delicate fibers. Instead, fold them carefully, ensuring they remain flat to prevent creases and maintain their original shape.

4. Natural Protection: Use natural moth repellents such as Hangai’s fragrant lavender sachets to protect your blankets from unwelcome intruders and infuse them with a delightful and natural scent.

5. Invest in Quality Storage: Choose high-quality storage options like Hangai’s breathable linen bags. These will protect your blankets from dust, moisture, and pests while allowing for adequate airflow.

6. Choose the Right Location: Store your blankets in a serene, temperate location, avoiding areas prone to sun, fluctuations in temperature and humidity. A dedicated linen closet or wardrobe is ideal for storing your precious textiles.

If you use the item often, don't wait for the seasons to change. Wash it regularly to keep the fiber clean, fresh, and long-lasting.

Here is some feedback from a customer who followed our care tips:

The throw washed beautifully!

“I used Woolite in the delicate cycle with a cold wash and rinse with a low spin. I also took your suggestion, diluted my Pureology hair conditioner, and added it to the rinse cycle. I laid the throw flat on my queen bed to dry and blocked the edges to get them straight.”

Thanks again,
