WASH AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS
At Suti India Sarees, every saree is a celebration of India's rich textile heritage. Our sarees are handcrafted using traditional weaving, printing, and dyeing techniques by skilled artisans. As each piece is handmade, slight variations are natural and make every saree uniquely beautiful.
Caring for Your Suti India Saree
1. Wash Separately
Always wash your saree separately from other garments, especially during the first few washes. Handcrafted and naturally dyed fabrics may release excess color initially.
✅ Do: Sort dark and light-colored garments separately.
❌ Don't: Wash with other clothes that may absorb or transfer color.
2. Hand Wash in Cold Water (Room Temprature)
Gently hand wash your saree in cold water to preserve its color, texture, and craftsmanship.
✅ Do: Use clean cold water for washing.
❌ Don't: Use hot or warm water, as it may affect the fabric and dyes.
3. Use Mild Detergent
Choose a mild liquid detergent suitable for delicate fabrics and handcrafted textiles.
✅ Do: Use a small amount of gentle detergent.
❌ Don't: Use harsh detergents, stain removers, or strong cleaning agents.
4. Do Not Soak For Long or Bleach
Avoid prolonged soaking and never use bleach or whitening agents.
✅ Do: Wash promptly and gently.
❌ Don't: Leave the saree soaking in water or use bleach-based products.
5. Rinse Gently
Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove detergent residue while handling the fabric carefully.
✅ Do: Support the fabric with both hands while rinsing.
❌ Don't: Rub, scrub, wring, or twist the saree aggressively.
6. Dry in Shade
Dry your saree in a shaded and well-ventilated area to help preserve its colors.
✅ Do: Hang or lay flat in indirect sunlight.
❌ Don't: Dry under direct sunlight for extended periods.
7. Iron on Low Heat
Iron on low to medium heat, preferably from the reverse side.
✅ Do: Test the heat setting on a small area if unsure.
❌ Don't: Use high heat directly on prints, motifs, or delicate fabrics.
8. Store with Care
Store your saree neatly folded in a cool, dry place away from moisture.
✅ Do: Wrap in a cotton or muslin cloth for long-term storage.
❌ Don't: Store in plastic bags, damp areas, or direct sunlight.
