Wash Case

1. Before washing a cotton saree for the first time, soak it for 10-15 minutes in a bucket of warm water mixed with rock salt. This will ensure that the colour latches on to the saree and will prevent the saree from ‘bleeding’ colour during subsequent washes.
2. Use only a mild detergent to wash a cotton saree. Do not wring it vigorously; instead, hang it over a water-tap and allow the excess water to drain off.
3. As a thumb rule, always starch cotton sarees (after wash) to ensure that they retain their crispness and stay stain-free.
4. Hang the saree to dry in a shaded area only as allowing the sun’s rays to directly hit the saree will cause the colour to fade.
5. Store the saree is an airy cupboard that is devoid of humidity and direct sunlight.
