Washing

• Always check the fabric before washing.
• Silk, chiffon, georgette, and brocade should be hand-washed gently in cold water with mild detergent or sent for dry cleaning.
• Cotton and polyester can usually be machine-washed on a gentle cycle with cold water.

Stains

• For oil stains, blot gently with tissue or use talcum powder—never rub.
• For food or makeup stains, rinse with cold water immediately and wash gently.

Drying & Ironing

• Always dry clothes in the shade to avoid fading.
• Do not wring delicate fabrics—press the water out gently.
• Use low-heat ironing, ideally with a cloth on top or use a steamer for delicate fabrics.

Storage

• Store clothes in breathable cotton or muslin bags, never in plastic.
• Keep them in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
• Refold sarees and garments with zari or silk every few months to prevent permanent creases.
• Heavy lehengas and sarees should be stored flat with soft tissue paper between folds.
• Lighter garments can be kept on padded hangers.
• Use natural repellents like neem leaves, lavender, or cedar blocks to protect from insects.

Maintenance

• Repair loose beads, hooks, or zippers quickly to prevent bigger damage.
• Antique or heavily embroidered pieces should always go for professional cleaning.
