Silk and embellished sarees should preferably be dry cleaned. Cotton sarees may be gently cared for as per fabric instructions. Store sarees in a cool, dry place using breathable covers, refold periodically, and avoid prolonged direct sunlight.
Use low to medium heat while ironing, place a cotton cloth between the iron and delicate fabric, and avoid direct heat on zari or embellishments. For stains, blot gently and seek professional cleaning for valuable sarees.
