Silk Care

Silk sarees are a delicate and luxurious fabric that requires special care to keep them looking their best. Here are some tips on how to care for your Chanderi sarees:

  • Always dry clean for the first wash. For subsequent washes, if dry cleaning is not possible, gently hand wash in cold water with soapnut or silk-suitable detergent or baby shampoo.

  • Always air dry the saree in shade. Never wring the sari or use it in the washing machine or dryer. Never rub the sari vigorously.

  • Do not store silk without dry cleaning

  • Expose the silk fabrics periodically to natural atmosphere

  • Use silica gel sachet or moisture absorbents in your cupboard which you use for storing silk fabrics

  • Iron in medium heat only

Other common instructions to be kept in mind:

  • Wash Chanderi silk sarees as infrequently as possible. Silk is a naturally stain-resistant fabric, so you should only wash it when it is absolutely necessary. If you do need to wash your silk saree, hand wash it in cold water with a mild detergent.
  • Do not use bleach on silk sarees. Bleach will damage the fabric and cause it to fade.
  • Do not tumble dry the Silk Cotton sarees. The heat from the dryer will damage the fabric and cause it to shrink. Instead, hang your silk sarees to dry in a cool, well-ventilated area.
  • Store silk sarees in a cool, dark place. Avoid storing your silk sarees in direct sunlight, as this will cause the colors to fade.
  • Use a silk storage bag to protect your silk sarees from dust and moths. A silk storage bag will also help to keep the fabric from fading.

Here are some additional tips for caring for your silk sarees:

  • Spot clean stains as soon as possible. The longer a stain sits on silk, the more difficult it will be to remove specially for chanderi tissue silk sarees.
  • Use a soft-bristled brush to brush silk sarees. A hard-bristled brush can damage the fabric.
  • Avoid wearing silk sarees in hot weather. The heat can cause the fabric to wrinkle and fade.
  • Have your silk sarees dry cleaned regularly. This will help to remove any dirt or grime that has accumulated on the fabric.

Here are some additional tips that you may find helpful:

  • Hang the silk saree to dry in a cool, well-ventilated area. Do not dry the silk saree in the sun or in a dryer.
  • Iron the silk saree on a low setting. Use a pressing cloth to protect the fabric.

By following these tips, you can help to keep your silk sarees looking their best for many years to come.
