Tribikram Mishra, Fashion portfolio, Mensa Brands and Bibhav Behera, Fashion Lead, Karagiri share tips that will ensure that your precious silk sarees remain a cherished part of your wardrobe for years to come.

1. Dry Clean Only: Instead of being washed in water, silk saris should be dry cleaned. The texture and colour of the saree are kept more intact by dry cleaning.
2. Store Properly: In order to prevent colour fading and damage from exposure to sunlight, store silk sarees in a cool, dry, and dark location. Plastic bags shouldn’t be used to store them because they can retain moisture and harm the items.
3. Avoid Direct Sunlight: Keep your silk sarees out of the sun’s direct rays to prevent colour fading.
4. Wash in cold water: Always use cold water to wash silk saris. The cloth may shrink and discolour when washed in hot water. Use moderate, pH-neutral detergents rather than potent ones to avoid using harsh detergents.
5. Use vinegar: Silk saris’ colour can be preserved by running the rinse cycle with a cup of distilled white vinegar. Any lingering soap residue that can contribute to fading can be eliminated with vinegar.
6. Avoid wringing: Avoid wringing or twisting silk saris when washing them since this can harm the fabric. Instead, lay the sari flat to dry after carefully pressing out any extra water.
