Dry Clean Preferred: For delicate and embellished sarees like Silk, Chiffon, or heavily Embroidered Sarees, dry cleaning is the safest option to maintain their quality.
Hand Wash in Cold Water: Cotton or Linen based sarees, hand washing in cold water with a mild detergent is suitable. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
Separate Colours: Wash sarees separately based on their Colours. Dark and light-coloured sarees should be washed separately to prevent colour bleeding.
Gentle Detergent: Use a mild detergent suitable for delicate fabrics. Harsh detergents can damage the fabric and embellishments.
Avoid Soaking: Do not soak sarees for a long time. Soaking can lead to colour bleeding and damage the fabric.
Gentle Handling: Be gentle while washing and rinsing. Do not wring or twist the saree vigorously as it can distort its shape.
Drying: Dry the sarees in shade to prevent fading due to direct sunlight. Hang them on a padded hanger to maintain their shape.
Ironing: Iron sarees at the appropriate temperature setting for the fabric. Use a cotton cloth between the saree and the iron to avoid direct contact.
Storage: Store sarees in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use fabric bags or muslin cloth to protect them from dust and moisture.
Regular Check: Periodically check stored sarees for any signs of damage or pests. Air them out and refold them to prevent creases.
Remember, each saree may have unique care requirements, so it's essential to consider the fabric and embellishments while washing and storing them. Following these care tips will help you maintain the longevity and beauty of their sarees.
