Contrary to what the tag on your cashmere sweater says, there is a more affordable, eco-friendly alternative to bringing your delicate duds to the dry cleaner. This sulfate-free shampoo from New York fabric-care company the Laundress allows you to clean natural-yarn items by hand or even (scandalous!) throw them in the wash for softer than with chemical treatments. We especially love the warm cedar scent, which is far more pleasant smelling—yet no less effective—than mothballs. The Laundress wool and cashmere shampoo, $19, at thelaundress.com
