How to Care for Indian Sarees?

Every saree has a different fabric, and must be taken care of in the following different ways:

Cotton Saris

These Saris should only be washed with cold water separately. Also, it would cause discoloration if it is soaked in water for long hours. To maintain the actual shape of the saree storing them with starch is a smart option.

Silk Sari

A silk saree is one of the most costliest sarees that require high maintenance. For storing wrapping the saree in a muslin cloth so that air can properly pass is the best way. Also the saree must be kept away from sunlight in a place where moisture cannot form. Dry cleaning is the safest way to clean up a silk saree after wearing it.

Tissue or Organza Sari

These kinds of sarees require special care because they need to be dry cleaned, and then wrapped in Muslin Cloth after every use. Hanging or folding these sarees may damage them in the long run as it can create unwanted wrinkles.

Chiffon and Georgette Sari

Chiffon and georgette fabrics are the ones that tend to get damaged if not stored properly. Do not dare to mix these while washing. The correct way to wash these sarees is by washing with mild detergent, and lukewarm water. First soak for at least 30 minutes prior to washing. For storing the saree, fold it properly, and then keep it in your wardrobe.
