Unlock the secret to eternal freshness!
Proper care and maintenance are crucial for extending the lifespan and preserving the quality of fabrics. Your adorable "Azure Saree" will look fresh and feel comfortable for years to come.
PRE-WASH
- Separate Colors : Sort your garments by color to prevent color bleeding. Wash dark, bright, and light-colored items separately to avoid dulling or staining.
- Pre-Treat Stains : Treat any stains on the garment before washing. Use a stain remover or a mixture of water and detergent to dab the stain gently. Avoid rubbing vigorously, as this can damage the fabric fibers.
WASH METHOD
- Linen can be machine-washed in cold or lukewarm water.
Washing Machine Settings for Linen
- Linen sarees or garments can typically be washed cold water.
- Use a gentle or delicate cycle to minimize wear and tear.
- Use a mild detergent for linen sarees or garments to maintain their natural luster and texture.
- Avoid using bleach unless the care label indicates it is safe.
Hand Washing (for delicate items)
- Fill a basin or sink with cool or lukewarm water.
- Add a small amount of mild detergent and mix until dissolved.
- Submerge the saree or garment in the water and gently agitate.
- Rinse thoroughly with cool water until the detergent is completely removed.
DRYING
- Hang linen garments to air-dry or tumble-dry on low heat.
IRONING
- Iron the garment inside out to prevent shine and protect the fabric.
- Iron linen while it's still slightly damp using a high heat setting.
STORAGE
- Fold sarees or garments neatly to prevent stretches, creases and wrinkles.
- Avoid hanging for extended periods as it can stretch the fabric.
- Opt for breathable storage options such as cotton or jute bags or muslin cloth covers. Avoid plastic bags as they can trap moisture and lead to mildew.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Excessive heat and humidity can cause mildew and discoloration.
- Protect your sarees or garments from pests like moths by adding natural repellents such as lavender sachets or cedar blocks to your storage space.
SPECIAL CARE
Avoid common mistakes!
- Do not overfill the washing machine, as it can cause friction and damage to the fabric.
- Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can leave residues that diminish the fabric's moisture-wicking properties and reduce the absorbency of fibers.
- Do not wring out wet garments, as this can distort their shape and damage the fibers.
- Avoid using bleach on colored garments to prevent fading.
- Avoid over-drying linen, as it can become brittle and prone to wrinkles.
