Care Guide for Handloom Sarees and Dupattas

Preserve color, texture, and weave quality with a simple care routine for handloom sarees and artisan dupattas.

Follow fabric-safe cleaning methods

For silk and zari-rich textiles, dry-cleaning is usually safest. Avoid harsh detergents and prolonged soaking.

Always spot-test if home cleaning is unavoidable, especially for hand-painted or naturally dyed products.

Store textiles for shape and longevity

Store sarees and dupattas in clean cotton or muslin bags to allow airflow.

Refold silk sarees every few months so permanent crease lines do not weaken one fold area.

Protect against moisture and direct sunlight

Keep garments away from humid walls and direct sunlight during storage, as this can dull colors and weaken fibers.

Use dry shelves and avoid plastic wrapping for long durations.

Guide FAQs

Can I machine wash handloom sarees?

Machine washing is not recommended for delicate handloom and zari textiles. Use fabric-safe cleaning based on care instructions.

How often should I refold stored silk sarees?

Refolding every two to three months helps maintain weave strength and prevents deep fold marks.
