Saree ek fashion piece hi nahi, balki ek emotional investment hoti hai. Har saree apni ek kahani aur yaad carry karti hai – chahe wo bridal silk ho, festive banarasi ya simple cotton daily wear. Agar aap chahte ho ki aapki sarees long-lasting aur fresh dikhe, toh unki proper care aur maintenance zaroori hai. Sahi storage aur cleaning tips follow karke aap apne saree ko saalon tak naya jaisa rakh sakte ho.
✨ Saree Care & Maintenance Tips
Dry Clean Heavy Silk & Embroidered Sarees
Banarasi, Kanjeevaram ya embroidered sarees ko kabhi bhi ghar pe wash na karein. Dry cleaning hi best option hai taaki zari aur embroidery damage na ho.
Cotton Sarees – Gentle Hand Wash
Cotton sarees ko hamesha mild detergent se hand wash karein. Machine wash se fabric ka shine dull ho sakta hai. Isse shade aur texture dono safe rehte hain.
Store in Cotton or Muslin Cloth
Sarees ko plastic covers me bilkul store na karein kyunki wo moisture trap kar dete hain. Cotton ya muslin cloth me wrap karke rakhne se saree ki freshness aur shine bani rehti hai.
Direct Sunlight Avoid Karein
Sarees ko kabhi bhi direct sunlight me mat sukhayein. Isse color fade ho jata hai. Hamesha shaded area me dry karein.
Iron Carefully
Heavy silk aur delicate fabrics ko low heat ya steam iron se press karein. Agar possible ho to saree ke upar ek cotton cloth rakh kar iron karein.
Folding & Refolding
Sarees ko ek hi fold me hamesha na rakhein. Har 3-4 mahine me saree ko refold karke alag side se fold karein taaki permanent creases na padhe.
Use Naphthalene or Neem Leaves
Storage me neem leaves ya naphthalene balls rakhne se insects aur fungus saree ko damage nahi kar paate.
🌟 Pro Tip
Apne bridal aur heavy sarees ko alag storage box me rakhein.
Light-weight sarees (cotton, chiffon, georgette) ko hanger pe latka kar bhi store kar sakte ho.
Agar saree rarely use hoti hai, toh once in a while usse dhoop me (direct sunlight ke bina) hawa dikhayein – isse fabric fresh rehta hai.
