Utmost care should be taken to preserve the luster and freshness of the sarees in the long run. Following are the tips to keep your saree elegant, glamour and long lasting.






* Always keep the washed and unwashed sarees separately. Never keep 'once worn' saree back in your wardrobe. If you wish to wear the saree once again, maintain a separate place, for example a drawer or a chest, for keeping them. Remember to place moth repellents in such places.

* As far as possible, use saree covers to keep your sarees. Don't overload these saree cover boxes. Most of the saree covers can hold six to eight sarees but if you place heavy and voluminous sarees, they may hold fewer sarees than that.


* Avoid washing the saree with the soap for the first wash. Instead soak it in salt water and give a cold water rinse. Use mild detergent in subsequent washes. * Brushing or lashing the saree will tear the zari, so wash gently. Avoid keeping wet for the long time and do not bundle the sari.



* Iron should be medium heated while pressing. Cold dry place is the best place to store your sarees. Always keep these silk saris in muslin to keep them away from insects


* Where you place your banarasi or other silk sarees, keep moth repellent like naphthalene balls in the cupboard.
