Product Care

COTTON SAREES: 

Handloom Cotton Sarees are very delicate so NEVER use hot water to wash your sarees. Dont let the soap stay on the garment for long. Wash it off quickly. Avoid Machine wash and using hard detergent or bleach. Avoid direct sunlight when drying a saree as it might lead to fabric discoloration. Dry it in partial shade.

1. Before washing a cotton saree for the first time, soak it for 10-15 minutes in a bucket of warm water mixed with rock salt. This will ensure that the colour latches on to the saree and will prevent the saree from ‘bleeding’ colour during subsequent washes.
2. Use only a mild detergent to wash a cotton saree. Do not wring it vigorously; instead, hang it over a water-tap and allow the excess water to drain off.
3. As a thumb rule, always starch cotton sarees (after wash) to ensure that they retain their crispness and stay stain-free.
4. Hang the saree to dry in a shaded area only as allowing the sun’s rays to directly hit the saree will cause the colour to fade.
5. Store the saree is an airy cupboard that is devoid of humidity and direct sunlight.

SILK SAREES:

1. Never hand-wash or machine-wash a silk saree.
2. In case the saree gets stained, immediately wipe the stain off with cold water. 
3. It is advisable to only dry-clean silk sarees.
4. Never hang a silk saree to dry in direct sunlight as doing so will cause the colour to fade.
5. Don’t keep the saree bundled up as this will result in the threads of the embroidery work getting entangled.
6. Store the saree in a light cotton muslin cloth. This will give the saree breathing space and will prevent one saree from sticking to another when kept in a pile.
7. Don’t store the saree in a plastic cover as this will cause the gold embroidery to turn black.
