KERALA COTTON SAREE WITH BLOUSE PIECE

Taking care of your Kerala cotton saree involves a few simple steps to maintain its beauty and longevity:

1. Hand Washing: Preferably, hand wash your Kerala cotton saree using a mild detergent and lukewarm water. Gently agitate the saree in the water to remove any dirt or stains.
2. Avoid Soaking: Do not soak the saree for prolonged periods, as this can lead to color bleeding or fabric damage. Instead, wash it promptly and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
3. Gentle Handling: Handle the saree with care, especially when washing and drying. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric excessively, as this can cause stretching or distortion.
4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Refrain from using harsh chemicals, bleach, or strong detergents, as they can damage the delicate fibers of the cotton saree and fade its vibrant colors.
5. Air Drying: After washing, gently squeeze out excess water from the saree and hang it to air dry in a shaded area. Direct sunlight can cause fading, so it’s best to dry the saree indoors or in a shaded outdoor space.
6. Ironing: Iron the saree on a low to medium setting while it is slightly damp to smooth out any wrinkles. Avoid using a high heat setting, as it can scorch the fabric.
7. Storage: Store your Kerala cotton saree in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Fold it neatly to avoid creasing, or store it in a saree bag to protect it from dust and pests.

By following these care instructions, you can ensure that your Kerala cotton saree retains its beauty and charm for years to come, allowing you to enjoy its elegance on various occasions.
