Yes, you can. If you are busy and have no time to wash it by yourself. You can go to the dry cleaner to wash it. Cashmere sweaters and scarves are easy to shrink, so be sure to tell the dry cleaner guys to treat it carefully.
Once your cashmere sweater or scarf is clean and dry. Fold them and store them in a dresser or on a closet shelf. If you hang them, the weight of your cashmere will pull them out of original design.
When you’re putting your cashmere away for the season, place it in a breathable garment bag or storage box in a cool, dry area. To prevent wrinkles, you can wrap each piece of cashmere clothing in acid-free tissue paper.
Remember to make sure your cashmere is washed before you store it for the offseason. Moths are attracted to human scents, so you’ll want to get rid of any perfume or food odors prior to storage. As an added precaution, place some cedar wood moth repellents with your cashmere.
Cashmere pilling usually occurs when two fabrics rub together. You can see it on clothes made of wool, cotton, cashmere, even polyester garments. But you can fix it and prevent it. Use a fabric conditioner to protect the fibers and reduce friction that causes pills. You can also try other ways to remove cashmere pilling: small scissors or a razor blade, fine-tooth comb, pumice stone, fruit zester, sweater comb, electric fabric shaver and so on.
Sometimes, you may see there is one hole on your sweater or scarf, do not worry about it, cashmere is soft and durable, just use one needle with thin yarn to fix it.

My wife stained her brand new expensive Cashmere sweater with her makeup. Though you have said to use liquid stain remover but do you have any special tips on how we can remove the stains without causing any harm to the cloth quality. And one more thing…does cashmere shrink after being washed using warm water?
Thanks in advance.

I have seen my mother washing my father’s shawl always with hand and also according to her this is the best way. And of course as it is so expensive everyone should go for the hand cleaning process. Again yes using vinegar just works like magic🙂
