Can I wash cashmere sweaters with Ovacion?

I washed a cashmere sweater in Ovacion out of desperation. I spilled chocolate fondue on a red cashmere sweater and the dry cleaner would not touch it. The sweater was ruined anyway so I had nothing to lose. The sweater came out just fine. Maybe I was just lucky but it worked for me.

I have never had a cashmere garment. I wash other cotton sweaters and silk items in this solution and have never had any problems.

Yes it can be washed and it curls very well afterwards. I would recommend a professional beautician to curl it for you.

Yes... on my wool and cashmere coat, and another 100% wool coat. It works! Just follow the directions. Very easy! :)

I don't know but they are only going in the dryer so not sure why you would need to. Wool does tend to shrink so its your call

I have used it for cashmere but don't really know about wool. It's pretty pricey and I wouldn't even buy it again for cashmere. I see no difference between it and the no chemical, no fragrance detergent (ALL Clear) I have used on sheepskin throws and other woolen items.

Being the sweaters are very wet, in my opinion, it would be a very bad move. Dry on a shower door bar until item is not dripping and a little lighter, then transfer to dryerthen use dryer

We recommend having the comforter professionally laundered. We do not recommend home laundering. If laundered properly, the comforter should not be lumpy after being washed and dried thoroughly. Cold water should be used in washing and no heat should be used in drying.

I have not! It brings the softest feel ever, to all our wool and cashmere sweaters, amazing, I've often wondered what my regular clothes would be like if I were to substitute that for the Laundress Darks I use for normal machine washing, probably the same softness!

Yes! This product really works. I have one in the basket right beside my chair at all times. It works quite well on everything. I would not exert a lot of pressure on delicate fabrics like cashmere. I have a long haired white and fawn cat. I wait until I'm ready to leave before dressing but the few hairs that I do pick up are picked up with the 3M Pet hair Remover. I had quite a search before I found refills available on this site.

Absolutely and recommended- oils break down elastics. Hand wash (or machine wash on gentle in a delicates/lingerie bag) and hang dry. Since it is quite 'puffy', reduce drying time by folding into a dry towel and compressing (read: standing on) to remove excess water before hanging.

Yes. I have used numerous times on cashmere both flat knits as well as ribs and cables.

I bought this especially for cashmere, you can rub on stains and then place a sheet with four cashmere sweaters in dryer. It refreshes them, this is an inexpensive way to care for them. I used the delicate cycle, it would probably do as good with wool, I do not wear wool. It worked great with heavy silk blend sweaters. I also bought a drizzled, I used it first to remove sweater pills.

Personally, I would find it a bit too expensive to use for a regular wash, but I don't see why you couldn't . I use it for anything delicate (not just woollens) . The first time I bought it, directly from kookaburra was to wash and try to soften up an old baby sheepskin. It was my daughter's and 30 years later I wanted to see if I could make it soft enough for her baby. It worked beautifully and I am on my second bottle now. I don't use it all that often, but love it.

sure. We have the cashmere paint from sherwin williams which is really smooth and it has been on it for 6 months now.

We have not tried to wash at of this date. I think it will be washed in soft cycle when we change to our winter Coverlet. It is synthetic and I see no reason it can not be washed. Based on price and cost to send to cleaners, you could buy one somewhat often. We will absolutely try the home wash method. I do think my wife will not let our housekeeper do the washing.

Not personally, but the makers do have a video about using this for wool coats here http://www.dailycandy.com/everywhere/video/fashion/95597/How-to-Wash-a-Coat-The-Laundress

I have an original one of these, 100% wool and I put it in the washer constantly on gentle cycle, cool water! hang to dry. I got rid of the "oily" smell in one wash. I wash ALL my woolens, even my cashmere, in an appropriate soap for woolens. They come out beautifully! Dry cleaner fluid damages wool. Wool is from sheep, they stand out all day in the rain...the only thing you should not do with wool is heat or high agitation, which will felt the wool. BTW, my seller told me there was no order as well, they must not have a nose on their faces, the odor is overwhelming right out of the box!
