Almost all saree’s tend to bleed colors initially, so before washing your saree’s with mild detergents, it is always good to soak them in normal water with rock salt for some time.
Remember saree’s are delicate so no matter what the stain is please do not use brush to scrub or soak / wash in hot water.
Use mild soap or shampoo to wash the saree. Do not soak the saree in any kind of detergent, do not use bleach and do not wash it in washing machine, unless mentioned specifically.
Do not wring the water out of the saree. Hang it to dry in shade and not under direct sunlight.
Use medium heat iron. It is better to use a clean cotton cloth on top of the saree while ironing.
The above care holds good for any kind of saree be it a Handloom or Powerloom, Printed or Hand blocked or Painted, Hand Embroidery or Machine Embroidery.
All the saree’s need to be taken care of despite their origin of creation.
Happy Draping!!
