Styling Tip: Pair with traditional gold or antique temple jewelry (such as jhumkas or a coin necklace) and a solid red blouse matching the pallu. 4. Wash & Care Instructions First Wash: Dry Clean Only. Silk paired with rich red dyes and woven zari requires professional dry cleaning to prevent color bleeding and preserve sheen. Subsequent Care: Dry cleaning is strongly recommended. If hand-washing at home: Wash gently in cold water using a mild, silk-friendly liquid detergent (e.g., Ezee or baby shampoo). Do not soak, scrub, or wring the fabric. Do not use bleach, harsh powders, or stain removers. Drying: Wrap in a clean towel to absorb excess moisture. Dry flat in a shaded, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight (sunlight causes rich red hues to fade). 5. Ironing & Pressing Guidelines Heat Setting: Use the Low Heat / Silk Setting on your iron. Method: Always iron on the reverse side of the saree while slightly damp. Place a thin, clean cotton pressing cloth between the iron and the saree to protect the silk fibers. Zari Caution: Avoid placing a hot iron directly onto the metallic zari threads on the pallu/border to prevent melting or tarnishing. Steam: Do not use heavy steam directly on tie-dyed silk, as water spots may distort the finish. 6. Storage & Maintenance Tips Wrapping: Store wrapped in a breathable muslin or soft cotton cloth (never store in plastic or vinyl covers, which trap moisture). Folding: Refold the saree along different fold lines every 2–3 months to avoid permanent creasing along the zari and silk threads. Perfumes: Avoid spraying perfumes or deodorants directly onto the saree body or zari.
