Silk Care

A Kanjivaram is made to be cherished for years, and with thoughtful care, it will continue to retain its beauty over time.

Storage

• Every Idha saree comes with a cotton storage bag. We recommend storing your saree in it when not in use, allowing the silk to breathe while protecting it from dust and light.
• Store in a cool, dry wardrobe away from moisture and damp spaces.
• Refold the saree every few months to prevent permanent creases, especially along the zari.
  
• Use moisture absorbers and suitable insect repellents in your wardrobe to help protect your silk sarees during storage.

Cleaning

• Dry clean only to preserve the richness, texture, and lustre of the silk.
• Avoid machine washing, hand washing, or soaking the saree in water.
• For stubborn stains, seek professional dry-cleaning assistance. Do not attempt to remove stains at home.

Wear & Handling

• Avoid direct contact with perfumes, deodorants, hairsprays, and other cosmetics, as they may stain or damage the silk.
• Handle delicate silk and zari areas with care to prevent snagging or damage.
• Avoid hanging the saree for extended periods, as the weight may stretch the fabric.

Drying & Ironing

• If the saree becomes slightly damp, allow it to air dry naturally in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight while drying or storing.
• Iron on the reverse side using a low heat setting or steam gently with a protective cotton cloth placed between the iron and the saree.

With proper care, an authentic Kanjivaram can be enjoyed for generations.
