Saree Care Tips
1. Store sarees properly:
- Fold sarees neatly and store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Avoid hanging heavy sarees for extended periods to prevent stretching.
2. Handle with care:
- When wearing or handling sarees, be gentle to avoid tearing or snagging the fabric, especially delicate materials like silk or chiffon.
3. Dry clean when necessary:
- Follow the care instructions provided with your saree, and dry clean it only when necessary to maintain its color and fabric quality.
4. Iron with caution:
- Use a low-heat setting on your iron or place a thin cloth over the saree before ironing to prevent damage to delicate fabrics.
5. Store with care:
- Avoid using wire hangers, as they can leave marks on the fabric. Instead, use padded hangers or fold sarees neatly to prevent creasing.
6. Protect from pests:
- Store sarees in moth-resistant storage bags or use natural deterrents like cedar chips to protect them from pests.
7. Air out periodically:
- Occasionally unfold and air out your sarees to prevent musty odors and ensure they remain fresh.
8. Handle stains promptly:
- Treat stains on your saree immediately with a gentle stain remover or by blotting with cold water to prevent them from setting.
9. Store sarees separately:
- Store sarees separately from other clothing to prevent color transfer and to maintain their shape.
10. Avoid heavy embellishments:
- Be cautious with heavily embellished sarees, as excessive weight can strain the fabric and cause it to tear. Store them flat or rolled to prevent damage to the embellishments.
