Owning a Pure Pashmina is like owning poetry woven into fabric — soft, timeless, and deeply precious. But along with its elegance comes responsibility. One common question we get at Shaza is: “Should I dry clean my Pashmina or care for it at home?”
Let’s explore both options and see what’s best for keeping your Pashmina beautiful for generations.
Home Care for Pashmina
For light cleaning and everyday care, home maintenance can work if done gently.
- Air it out — Instead of frequent washing, simply air your Pashmina after wear. This refreshes the fibers and removes odors naturally.
- Spot cleaning — For tiny stains, use cold water and a mild baby shampoo. Dab softly with a clean cloth — never rub.
- Gentle hand wash (rarely) — If absolutely necessary, hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent, but avoid twisting, wringing, or scrubbing.
- Drying — Lay flat on a cotton towel in shade. Never hang or tumble dry.
Risk — Even with care, home washing can shrink, stretch, or fade your Pashmina if not done perfectly.
Professional Dry Cleaning
Dry cleaning is the safest option for deep cleaning, especially for embroidered, kani-woven, or heirloom Pashminas.
- No shrinkage, no fiber damage — Professional care protects the delicate weave.
- Expert stain removal — Tough stains (wine, oil, makeup) need skilled treatment.
- Embroidery safe — Intricate resham, zari, or Kalamkari detailing stays intact.
- Revives texture & color — Fibers regain their sheen and suppleness.
-
Tip — Always choose a trusted dry cleaner familiar with handloom Pashmina. At Shaza, we even offer specialist Pashmina dry-cleaning and repair services trusted for 45+ years.
So, Which Is Best?
- For regular freshness → Airing + spot cleaning at home works well.
- For stains, embroidery, or seasonal storage → Always choose professional dry cleaning.
Think of it this way: Home care is preventive, dry cleaning is restorative. Both together ensure your Pashmina stays as elegant as the day you bought it.
