Silk sarees are usually bought for memorable occasions and are often associated with memories and sentiments. Given how precious they are, you must maintain them well for them to last long and give you everlasting happiness. Contrary to popular belief, silk sarees are not that hard or expensive to maintain. We will tell you how.


The best way to wash the silk fabric would be dry cleaning. But still the Kanjeevaram sarees can be comfortably washed at our homes if done in a careful manner.


Act on stains immediately

white petrol:
Dry cleaning of sarees is good for removing stains but do it as soon as you stain the saree.The petrol used in dry cleaning removes hard and dark stains easily.

vinegar:
Make a dilute solution of distilled white vinegar and water in a clean bucket (Use 1 tablespoon of vinegar for every litre of water). Soak the saree thoroughly in the vinegar solution for 3-5 minutes. Remove the saree from the solution and rinse it thoroughly in cold, running water


Don’t wash the saree for the first 3 - 4 times of wearing.

Never use brushes to wash the saree, for most of the times it would pull off the zari.

Gently wash the borders, body and pallu of the saree, all three separately.

Don’t twist the saree.

Remove the excess moisture using a dry cotton towel.

Shade dry the saree.

After drying the saree, iron the saree on the reverse side and fold it without wrinkles.

Iron with care

Use low heat while ironing silk sarees. If the wrinkles don’t get straightened out, then cover the saree with a fine muslin cloth and iron with high heat. Steam iron is best suited for silk sarees. Also keep changing the crease of the saree every now and then to keep your saree from getting a permanent fold mark.
