Cashmere is a fine and soft fiber that feels good against the skin and is very comfortable to wear. It also has a unique luster. However, rubbing the fabric makes it easier for pills to form.

【Use a clothes brush to straighten the flow of fibers before they become pills.】

By using the clothes brush, dust hidden deep inside the fiber are removed and by cleaning the surface, brings out the original vibrance. The fibers untangle and makes less pills.

How to brush with a clothes brush

The point here is that it is good to use a natural hair brush for the clothes brush. Natural bristles have soft bristles, so you can brush without straining the fabric. Among the natural hairs, horsehair clothes brushes have supple hair and fine texture, so they are perfect for soft and delicate cashmere materials. The horsehair clothes brush is introduced here.

In addition, natural hair contains oil and water, so it has the advantage of being less prone to static electricity. The movie shows how to use the clothes brush.
