Introduction
Silk sarees are more than just clothing—they are treasures that carry tradition, elegance, and timeless beauty. From Tussar silk to Muga and Ghicha silk, every weave tells a story of craftsmanship. But silk is also delicate, and without proper care, its shine and texture may fade. At Weaveify, we believe every saree deserves to stay as beautiful as the day it was woven. Here are easy tips to care for silk sarees and keep them new for years.
1. Dry Clean Instead of Washing at Home
Silk is sensitive to detergents and rough handling. The safest way to clean your silk sarees is by dry cleaning. Avoid machine washing, and never soak silk in water for long hours.
2. Store in a Cool, Dry Place
Moisture and heat can damage silk fibers. Always store your sarees in a cool, dry place. Wrap them in a soft cotton cloth or muslin before folding to protect against dust and insects.
3. Avoid Plastic Covers
Never keep silk sarees in plastic bags. Plastic traps moisture and can lead to yellow stains or mildew. Instead, use cotton covers that allow the fabric to breathe.
4. Refold Every Few Months
If silk sarees stay folded in the same position, permanent creases may form. Refold your sarees every 3–4 months, changing the fold lines to maintain their shape.
5. Keep Away from Direct Sunlight & Perfumes
Direct sunlight can fade the natural shine of silk, and perfumes or deodorants may leave stains. Always spray perfume before draping your saree, not after.
6. Iron Carefully
When ironing, use the lowest heat setting or place a cotton cloth over the saree before pressing. This protects the silk from heat damage.
