Fabric Care Guide

A well-cared saree lasts a lifetime. Here's how to preserve every thread, colour, and weave.

Silk

Kanjivaram · Banarasi · Chanderi

Dry clean only — always recommended for silk sarees

If hand washing, use cold water and a mild silk-specific detergent

Do not wring — gently press water out and lay flat to dry in shade

Iron on the reverse side at low-medium heat while slightly damp

Cotton

Handloom · Khadi · Jamdani

Hand wash gently in cold water with a mild detergent

Machine wash on delicate cycle (30°C max) in a mesh laundry bag

Lay flat or hang to dry in shade — avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading

Iron at medium heat while slightly damp for a crisp finish

Linen

Pure Linen · Cotton-Linen Blend

Hand wash in cool water or gentle machine cycle (30°C)

Use a gentle detergent — avoid bleach or harsh chemicals

Hang to dry — linen softens and drapes better with each wash

Iron while damp at medium-high heat — linen loves a good press

Universal Care Tips

Storage

Store sarees folded or rolled loosely in a soft muslin cloth. Avoid plastic bags which trap moisture.

Refold Periodically

Refold your sarees every few months along different lines to prevent permanent crease marks.

Protect from Moths

Place neem leaves or a cedar block in your wardrobe. Avoid chemical mothballs directly on fabric.

First Wash

Before wearing for the first time, a gentle wash in cold water helps set the colour and soften the weave.

Never soak sarees in water for extended periods. Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged drying as it can fade the colour of both silk and cotton. When in doubt, dry clean is always the safest choice.
