Care Instructions
To maintain the natural fibers and the vibrancy of the handloom dyes:
-
Washing: Hand wash separately in cold water with a mild, eco-friendly detergent. Avoid soaking for long periods to preserve the deep terracotta and green pigments.
-
Drying: Always air dry in the shade; direct sunlight can cause the cotton fibers to stiffen and the colors to fade.
-
Ironing: Use a medium-to-high heat setting. For a crisp, professional finish, iron the saree while it is slightly damp or use a steam iron.
