Helpful tips to preserve sarees!

Taking care of expensive sarees requires a great amount of care  and patience on behalf of the buyer. In the following passages, I have shared some valuable tips for maintaining Designer and Party Wear sarees made of Cotton, Chiffon Silk and Georgette with minimum investments in terms of time, money and energy.

* Cotton Sarees

As a rule of thumb, cotton saris should always be washed separately as their colour starts spreading with each subsequent wash  that might spoil other clothes as well. Immersing saris in water for long periods of time or drying them in scorching heat can also lead to color fading.  Starching Cotton Saris after each subsequent wash  helps in color retention.

* Chiffon Sarees

Chiffon Sarees  also  require care and maintenance just as cotton sarees  do especially during the laundering process. One should avoid twisting the sarees  during the  hand-wash process, instead  the sarees  should be swirled under a sink during the washing process  and pressed gently to squeeze out all the water and hung dry. Moreover, they should not be wrapped  too  tightly and one should avoid using sari pins as it might tear the fabric.

* Silk Sarees

Silk saris  are not only the most expensive element of any collection but  they are also the most delicate to maintain. To remove any kind of dirt or stain from silk saris, one should opt for dry-cleaning as hand-wash/machine-wash may strain the fabric. Saris having heavy zari or embroidered borders should not be hung for long as their fabric can get strained and may ultimately tear. While ironing these silk sarees, one should always take note of the  temperature  as  extra heat can burn the fabric.

* Georgette Sarees

Georgette saris being highly vulnerable to tear tend to lose their shape if kept hanging for a long time. It is  advisable to refold  these sarees from time to time as tears start appearing on creases if they remain folded in the same position for a long time.

I hope these tips prove to be very useful in maintaining your designer and party wear sarees in perfect condition for a  long time to come
