Cotton Saree Care Instructions

  • It is advisable to soak the saree in a bucket of warm water mixed with salt for 10 to 15 minutes the first time. This will prevent the saree from bleeding color in the subsequent washes.
  • Use a mild detergent to wash the saree and do not wring it vigorously. It is advisable to handwash the saree.
  • Always store the saree in the cotton muslin cloth provided, this will give the saree breathing space.
  • Never hang a cotton saree to dry in direct sunlight as doing so will cause the colour to fade.
  • Do not keep the saree bundled up as this will result in the threads of the embroidery work getting entangled.
  • Starching the saree is optional if you want the saree to have a crisp feel to it.
  • Iron the saree while it is still damp and do not wait for it to completely dry. Use ‘cotton’ setting while ironing the sarees. Steam iron is the best, but if you do not have one then you can spray a little water with a sprayer and iron it out.
