How should I care for my silk saree to make it last longer?
Proper silk saree care is essential for longevity. Always dry clean your silk sarees - avoid washing with water or detergents as they damage silk fibers and zari work. Store silk sarees in a cool, dry place wrapped in muslin or cotton cloth, never in plastic. Air your sarees every 2-3 months to prevent moisture buildup. Iron on the reverse side at low temperature with a pressing cloth. Add camphor or neem leaves to protect from insects. With proper care, premium Sirumugai and Kanjipuram silk sarees can last for generations and become family heirlooms.
