Saree Care Guide

Every saree tells a story of craftsmanship, tradition, and elegance. With the right care, your saree can retain its beauty for years and even become a cherished heirloom. Follow these simple care tips to preserve its colour, texture, and finish.

Silk Sarees

  • Dry clean before the first wear and whenever deep cleaning is needed.

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

  • Fold the saree differently every few months to prevent permanent creases.

  • Wrap silk sarees in a soft cotton or muslin cloth to allow the fabric to breathe.

  • Avoid spraying perfumes or deodorants directly on the fabric.

  • Keep away from moisture and damp environments.

Cotton & Handloom Sarees

  • Hand wash separately using cold water and a mild detergent, unless the care label recommends dry cleaning.

  • Avoid harsh chemicals and bleach.

  • Dry in the shade to preserve colours.

  • Iron on a medium setting while the saree is slightly damp for best results.

Designer & Embellished Sarees

  • Always dry clean embroidered, sequined, stone-work, or heavily embellished sarees.

  • Handle delicate embellishments with care to avoid snagging.

  • Store flat or hang carefully using padded hangers where appropriate.

  • Avoid excessive folding over embroidered areas.

Georgette, Chiffon & Organza Sarees

  • Hand wash gently or dry clean according to the care instructions.

  • Do not wring the fabric.

  • Air dry naturally away from direct sunlight.

  • Use a low-heat iron or steam to remove wrinkles.

Storage Tips

  • Keep sarees in a clean, dry wardrobe.

  • Use breathable fabric covers instead of plastic covers for long-term storage.

  • Refold sarees periodically to prevent fold marks.

  • Avoid placing heavy objects on stored sarees.

Stain Care

  • Treat stains as soon as possible.

  • Do not rub stains aggressively.

  • For valuable silk or designer sarees, seek professional dry cleaning instead of attempting home stain removal.

Jewellery & Accessories

Be mindful of sharp jewellery, watches, handbags, and accessories that may pull threads or damage delicate fabrics and embroidery.
