How to Get Bed Bugs Out of Cashmere

Bed bugs are a common problem in many less developed parts of the world, but have also been making a comeback in the United States as a significant problem. They are small and brown in appearance, and feed on the blood of animals, and are most often found in and around the sleeping area in a home. A common way to kill bed bugs infesting clothing is with heat, but cashmere should not go in the dryer, so other methods must be used.
