Pashmina shawls are a luxurious and delicate item of clothing that can last for many years if they are properly cared for. Here are some tips on how to keep your Pashmina shawl looking and feeling its best:

Washing

  • The best way to wash a Pashmina shawl is to dry clean it. This will ensure that the fabric is cleaned properly without being damaged.
  • If you do decide to wash your Pashmina shawl at home, be sure to use cold water and a mild detergent. Do not wring or twist the fabric, as this can cause it to felt.
  • After washing, lay the shawl flat to dry. Do not hang it on a clothesline, as this can stretch the fabric.
