Saree care guide

Keep the zari bright

  • Dry clean for the first wash.
  • After that, hand wash gently in cold water with a mild detergent. Do not soak.
  • Do not wring. Roll in a towel to remove water, then dry flat in the shade.
  • Iron on low heat on the reverse side. Never iron directly on the zari.
  • Store folded in a cotton or muslin cloth, away from damp. Refold every few months so the folds do not set.
  • Keep perfume and deodorant away from the zari; they dull the metallic thread.
