Now I will like to share a few tips on how to maintain your cotton handloom saree once you have bought them.
- Before washing a handloom saree for the first time, soak it for 10-15 minutes in a bucket of water mixed with rock salt. This will ensure that the color latches on to the saree and will prevent the saree from bleeding color during subsequent washes.
- Always use a mild detergent to wash a cotton saree. Do not wring it instead hang it over a water-tap and allow the excess water to drain off.
- Starch cotton sarees after wash to ensure that they retain their crispness and stay stain-free.(Optional)
- Do not hang the saree to dry in an open area where the sun rays directly hit the saree will cause the color to fade and can also affect the fabric.
- Store the saree is an airy cupboard.
