Ways to Care for Your Cotton Sarees to Keep Them Beautiful
Cotton sarees are treasured due to their beauty and comfort, but they need care to be beautiful. We, at Authentic Cotton, make sure your hand-woven sarees will not fade away or become coarse in a few years using these easy-to-follow care tips.
1. Gentle Washing Techniques
Wash cold water in cold water with mild detergent using a handwash. Machine washing should be avoided, particularly when dealing with handwoven or embroidered material. Wash vivid colors independently so that there is no bleeding of colors, and maintain the softness and vibrancy.
2. Drying with Care
Do not wring your saree; gently squeeze excess water and dry in the shade. When hanging by the pallu or lying flat, the saree does not develop creases and the shape of the saree is preserved. Should not be subjected to direct sunlight to fade.
3. Ironing and Storage Tips
Iron on medium or low heat while slightly damp. For embellished sarees, place a soft cloth over the fabric. Store in breathable cotton or muslin bags instead of plastic covers to prevent moisture damage and mildew.
4. Handling Stains and Spills
Blots overspill without rubbing. In case of tough stains, a little mild detergent and a lot of water should be used. Apply any solution to a small concealed portion first. Often washing makes your saree keep soft and colored.
5. Rotating Your Saree Collection
Turn the sarees that one wears regularly so that they do not wear out. Give rests after washing to retain the strength of the fabric and the brightness of its colour, particularly of delicate handwoven cotton.
6. Preserving Handwoven Details
Protect motifs, embroidery, and prints from rough handling. Fold sarees to prevent creasing embellished parts. Periodic airing will keep it fresh and avoid the stale smell.
Conclusion
Cotton sarees are so beautiful and stay so long, provided they are well cared for. Light washing, dry cleaning, cautious ironing, and considerate packing are most required. Authentic Cotton will provide hand-woven sarees, which are durable, so that you can use them with grace and comfort throughout your generation. Your coveted sarees are one of the things you need to have the consistency of keeping them beautiful.
