Cashmere products can be treated just like any other wool fabrics
Wash by hand or select the wool wash cycle on the washing machine
Water temperature max. 30 °C, a little wool detergent, only briefly and gently spin or knead

Thecashmere silk quality Pashmina is very easy to care for: If it absorbs moisture - for example in a restaurant or bar - we recommend that you simply leave it to air out. Is something spilling on your pashmina? This is no cause for concern: pashmina shawls can be cleaned just as easily as cashmere jumpers.

During our tests we repeatedly hand washed cashmere-silk blends using Perwoll and did not identify any loss of color. And Perwoll obviously thinks about it the same way. Not surprisingly, Perwoll has advertised its wool detergent with our 70% cashmere quality pashminas!

Butwashing is possible even with the wool program of your washing machine. Please make sure that the water temperature does not exceed 30°C and that the spin cycle is limited to a minimum. If the pashmina is still very wet after washing, knead it gently and thus squeeze out the water from the wool fibers.

Important : When drying your pashmina, always lie it out flat (!) on a clothes rack. Hanging it could cause the cloth material to distort.

Why is wool so sensitive?
Cashmere fabrics are made from animal fibers, which consist mainly of protein.These wool fibers swell as they come into contact with water. Furthermore, prolonged exposure to water, especially hot water or steam, can loosen components of the fibers. During machining, wool fibers rub against each other as they do not present a smooth but a scaly surface. In turn, this leads to fabric shrinkage and felting. Inappropriate washing solutions or excessive detergent produce the same effect. It follows that you should not rub, wring or pull woolen cloth in the water. Thewater temperature should not exceed 30° C. Refrain from acceleratingthe drying process by laying your garment in the sun or on a radiator.Please note that cashmere fabrics are particularly sensitive andfeature a slightly lower color strength than other wools.
