Upkeep
of Sarees
Cleaning and Storage
With proper care and attention, sarees
can be preserved for ages and passed
on to generations without losing its
lustre or freshness. A saree should be
either delicately hand washed or dry
cleaned. Some fabric types can be machine
washed and dried.

COTTON
Cleaning Wash in high
temperatures. Color safe
bleach is recommended
on dyed cottons.
Ironing Cotton sarees
can be ironed with a hot
iron, as they do not
scorch easily.
Storage Do not keep dark
cotton sarees with the
lighter ones. In case of residue
moisture, the colour
imprint could play havoc.
LINEN
Cleaning Before washing,
soak the saree for 10-15
minutes in water added
with rock salt to lock the
hues in, which will prevent
any fading of colors.
Ironing Damp linen clothing
to prevent the iron
from burning or yellowing
the fabric.
Storage Keep your saree
lightly folded. Store it
on a wooden hanger in
a way so that it is not
squeezed or pressed down.
