Pashmina Care

A very important part of owning any product made of pashmina is caring for it. When it comes to cleaning pashmina shawls, most sellers recommend bringing them to a professional dry cleaner. This is definitely convenient but there is another way to clean a shawl of this kind that costs much less ? hand washing them yourself.

You don’t have to be an expert on pashmina to do this. You just need to know the proper way of doing this alternative cleaning method. There is also no need for special detergents. Your own hair shampoo will do the trick because like human hair, pashmina is a natural fiber. In fact, pashmina shawls are made of goat hair.

To start, thoroughly dissolve the hair shampoo in lukewarm water. Then, place the shawl into the water and start hand washing it carefully. Use hair conditioner when rinsing the shawl to make it even softer. To remove water, gently squeeze the shawl. Never wring or twist because this will ruin their form. Also, do not use any product with bleach when washing and always wash colored shawl separately from white ones.

To dry, lay the shawl flat on any clean surface. Make sure it is not placed where it is exposed directly to sunlight or heat. Take a damp piece of cloth and use this to press the shawl with. Then, press the cloth with a cool iron.

When you are certain that the shawl is already completely dry, then you can store it. Make sure the storage place you’ve chosen is not damp or exposed to sunlight and dust. Otherwise, you will likely find your precious shawls eaten by moths.

Fold the shawl and wrap it carefully in tissue paper or put it inside a plastic bag. Then, prepare a plastic container, ideally a box, for storage. Make sure the storage box is dry before placing the shawl inside. You can also use cedar chips or naphthalene balls (mothballs) to keep moths away.

Aside from careful washing and proper storage, you can protect your pashmina shawls from damage whenever you use it by making sure not to wear it next to items with abrasive materials such as rough leather or items that it can possibly get caught with like metal necklaces.

In addition, use your shawl just once or twice a week at the most. It’s understandable why you would want to use it everyday if you could but remember that it’s a very delicate item that will not be able to withstand overuse. So, follow the tips above and you will make your prized accessory last much longer.
