Handy Tips To Preserve Your Saree Collection!

Sarees are integral part of India’s cultural mores and tradition and most Indian women tend to stock up sarees that suit their body type perfectly. Every saree that you buy or which has been gifted to you may have a certain set of memories attached to it. As a value conscious buyer, you would have definitely spent a substantial amount of money in purchasing net sarees or pure georgette sarees. But selecting and buying sarees is one thing and maintaining them in perfect condition for long periods of time is an altogether different ballgame.

Keeping aside your favourite Glass Tissue Sarees to be used on special occasions is a good way to avoid last minute panic before any event or function. It will also help you save yourself from a lot of hassle. If cotton saris occupy a substantial portion of your collection, then you should keep in mind that though they are easy to wear and handle, they come with one inherent flaw i.e. their color begins to disperse and it can lead to color fading. Cotton and Organza sarees may look quite classy and elegant but are difficult to maintain. Starching these sarees after each wash will ensure that these saris retain their shine for long periods of time.

When it comes to maintaining expensive sarees made from pure georgette or glass tissue, an important thing to keep in mind is that they should not to subjected to hand-wash or machine wash as that might twist the fabric causing unwanted wear and tear. Once these sarees have been dry-cleaned they should not be hanged in a cupboard as that might bear some unwanted creases on the fabric. A better approach would be to fold these sarees in a saree cover and place them in a drawer with some naphthalene balls to prevent moths from infesting in the cupboard. One should fold and re-fold these sarees from time to time as keeping them folded in one position for long periods of time will again bear the prospect of unwanted tears along the line of the fold.

 Adhering to these general rules will help you retain your sarees for long periods of time and even pass it on to your daughter.
