Preserve the Beauty of Your Sarees

Preserve the Beauty of Your Sarees

A saree is not just an outfit—it’s a memory, a tradition, and often a family heirloom. Whether it’s a luxurious silk saree or a breezy cotton drape, proper care ensures your sarees stay vibrant and timeless for years. At Ensoul.in, we believe saree care is as important as saree styling. Here’s a complete guide to keeping your sarees as stunning as the day you bought them.

 

1. Washing Your Sarees the Right Way

For Silk Sarees:

  • Dry Clean Only: Pure silks should always be dry-cleaned to maintain their shine and texture.

  • Avoid Harsh Detergents: Never use strong soaps or bleach.

  • Stain Removal: Dab gently with cold water—avoid scrubbing.

For Cotton Sarees:

  • Hand Wash in Cold Water: Use mild liquid detergent.

  • Separate Colors: Wash bright/dark shades separately to prevent bleeding.

  • Starch Option: Light starch can give your cotton saree a crisp, formal look.

2. Drying Your Sarees: Handle with Care

  • Never Wring: Gently squeeze excess water out instead of twisting.

  • Dry in Shade: Sunlight can fade colors, so always dry in shade.

  • Flat Drying for Silk: Place on a flat surface to avoid stretching.

3. Ironing & Steaming Tips

  • Silk Sarees: Use a low-heat silk setting or place a thin cloth on top while ironing.

  • Cotton Sarees: Iron on medium heat for a crisp look.

  • Steam Option: A garment steamer works wonders on delicate weaves.

4. Storing Your Sarees: Long-Term Care

  • Use Muslin Cloth: Wrap sarees in muslin or cotton to allow fabric to breathe.

  • Avoid Plastic Covers: They trap moisture and cause damage.

  • Refold Every Few Months: Prevents permanent creases and tearing.

  • Silk Storage Tip: Place naphthalene balls or neem leaves nearby to keep pests away.

 

5. Extra Care Hacks You Should Know

  • Perfume Caution: Spray perfume only on your body, never directly on saree fabric.

  • Revive Old Sarees: Professional re-dyeing can bring back faded shades.

  • Emergency Fixes: A small stitch or fabric glue can save a torn edge temporarily.
