Saree Care Instructions

Your saree is a work of art, woven with love and care. To preserve its beauty and elegance for years to come, follow these care instructions tailored for different types of sarees.

1. General Care for All Sarees

  • Always store your saree in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
  • Use muslin or cotton cloth to wrap your saree for added protection. Avoid plastic covers as they trap moisture.
  • Avoid spraying perfumes or deodorants directly onto the fabric.

2. Cotton Sarees

  • Washing: Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid machine washing to prevent damage to the delicate weave.
  • Drying: Air-dry in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight to retain the saree's natural color.
  • Ironing: Use a medium heat setting or steam iron for a crisp finish.

3. Silk Sarees

  • Washing: Dry clean only to maintain the shine and softness of the silk.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and change the folds periodically to prevent creasing.
  • Ironing: Use a low heat setting and always place a thin cotton cloth between the iron and saree.

4. Chiffon and Georgette Sarees

  • Washing: Hand wash in cold water with a gentle detergent. Avoid twisting or wringing.
  • Drying: Lay flat to dry to avoid stretching the fabric.
  • Ironing: Use a low heat setting to smoothen wrinkles.

5. Handloom Sarees

  • Washing: Always hand wash in cold water with mild detergent. Do not soak for long.
  • Storage: Fold along the weaving lines to maintain the structure and beauty.
  • Ironing: Use a medium heat setting for a polished look.

6. Sarees with Embellishments or Zari

  • Washing: Strictly dry clean only to prevent damage to embellishments.
  • Storage: Place tissue paper or soft cloth between folds to avoid tarnishing zari work.
  • Ironing: Use a steam iron on the reverse side or with a protective layer.

Additional Tips

  • Always follow specific care labels attached to your saree.
  • Avoid hanging heavy sarees for long durations, as this may stretch the fabric.
  • Rotate your saree collection to ensure no single saree remains folded for too long.
