Traditional dry cleaners use Perchloroethylene (also known as PERC) which is recognised globally as toxic to human health and the environment.
傳統的干洗店通常會使用乙烯，這種物質在全球範圍內都被公認為對人體和環境有毒。
Handwashing is by far the safest method for cleaning cashmere, wool and most delicate fabrics. Here, I’m going to demonstrate how to do it the non-toxic way with my favourite fall coat from Feine Cashmere.
在清潔羊毛、羊絨與其它精細織品的方法中，手洗是目前為止最為安全的。以下將為您介紹具體方法。
Wash 洗滌
Firstly, always pre-treat any stains with Soapnut Republic Natural Stain Remover.
首先，用Soapnut Republic的西柚精油天然強效污漬清潔液對污漬處進行預處。
Then, add 50mL or a squirt of Soapnut Republic Delicates Shampoo to a basin of luke warm water. Never use hot water to wash cashmere.
接著，在一盆溫水中加入50ml或少量的Soapnut Republic檸檬草精油絲絨專用洗滌液。
Immerse the garment and swish gently, taking care not to stretch it. Soak for up to 10 minutes.
放入織物，輕輕揉搓，注意不要拉扯織物。浸泡10分鐘。
Rinse 漂洗
Squeeze the water out of the garment without wringing or stretching. Discard the soapy water, and refill the basin with clean, luke warm water. Repeat this process until the water is no longer soapy. Avoid rinsing under running water, which can stretch delicate fabrics .
輕輕將水從織物中擠出，不要擰或拉。倒掉洗滌用過的水，重新加入溫水。重複此步驟直至水中不再呈現泡沫。請不要在流水中漂洗，否則將可能導致織物變形。
Don’t wring. Wringing out a wet garment can be harsher on fabric than running it through the delicate cycle of a washing machine.
不要擰乾。將浸濕後的織物擰乾後果可能比使用洗衣機的水流洗滌更嚴重。
Dry 乾燥
Press water out of the garment and then dry the item flat in its natural shape on a drying rack or a clean white (or light-coloured) towel.
用按壓的方式把織物中對於的水分排出，將其以自然形態平放於晾衣架上，或置於乾淨的白色（或淺色）毛巾上。
To speed up the drying process you can lay the garment on top of the towel, gently smoothing out all the wrinkles. Starting at the top of the garment, roll the towel and the garment together, pressing down on the roll to help the towel absorb the water in the garment. Unroll. If the item is still very wet, repeat this step with a dry towel.
如需加快乾燥過程，您可以將織物放在毛巾上，輕輕撫平所有皺褶。從織物的頂部開始，將織物和毛巾一起捲起來，然後輕壓捲起的毛巾以加快水分吸收。展開。如織物仍十分潮濕，請用一條乾燥的毛巾重複此步驟。
Steam iron 蒸汽熨斗
When dry, lay the garment flat and gently steam iron using a wool or cashmere setting.
在乾燥情況下，請不要熨燙，否則您將會把天然的織物結構壓平。只需簡單清洗、晾乾，進而穿著。必要時，可以使用專為羊毛或羊絨織物設計的蒸汽熨燙機進行掛燙，以達到除皺效果。
