Tips to take care of your Sarees - Making them last forever with beautiful look every day.

The best way to wash a Saree is the tried and tested traditional way.

Do not use soap for the first 3 washes, use only plain water.

For Silk Saree, wash the border, pallue and body separately in the beginning.

For subsequent washes, use good quality mild detergent and clean quickly.

Do not bundle and keep wet for a long time.

The Saree should be dried immediately.

Avoid washing Saree with any inferior quality material (or) bright colours.

Avoid the use of chemicals - these may damage your Silk and end up reducing its life considerably.

In case of stains, use cold water immediately.

For hard stains better go for dry clean.

Use medium iron only.

Saree should be stored in a cold dry place.

Unfold your Silk Sarees and change the folding every three months.

Recommend stitching of Saree fall for Embroidery Sarees.

Soft handling should be practiced in order to keep the Sarees fresh and free from wrinkle.
