How do I wash/clean a cashmere Pashmina?
Answers:
I would suggest following the care instructions on the care label, failing that, take it to your dry cleaners for their suggestions.
Other answers:
Look on the label for instructions. If all else fails, probably hand wash in cold water and lay out on a flat surface to dry, like a bed, or counter, or a sweater screen u can buy at Target or Walmart.

If there is a care label follow instructions printed there.
Other ways to clean are:
* the classic oriental rug cleaning - works in winter only:
put it on freshly snowed snow and beat the dirt from the fabric into the snow
* the classic stand-by for DIY washing:
hand wash with luke-warm water and a detergent for delicates or a mild hair shampoo, work carefully until all stains are gone, rinse in slightly colder water, spread on flat surface to dry, iron on low setting only if really needed.
* the classic stand-by for the fearful:
go to your cleaners and hope that they know what they are doing.
Cashmere wool is typically quite self cleaning; there is normally no need to wash it.
