How to Care for Your Silk & Rayon Cotton Ethnic Wear: A Preservation Guide
Guide Summary • Quick Highlights

Keep your prized ethnic garments radiant for years. Master the golden rules of washing, dry-cleaning, ironing, and storing delicate Indian fabrics.

High quality ethnic garments are handcrafted investments made to be cherished and passed through generations. However, improper washing detergents, direct sunlight, and plastic wardrobe covers can damage delicate weaves and dull vibrant pigments over time.

Golden Washing Rules for Rayon Cotton

  • Cold Gentle Wash: Always wash rayon-cotton sets in cold water with mild, pH-neutral liquid detergents. Avoid powdered soaps that contain abrasive bleaching enzymes.
  • Never Wring: Gently press out excess water without twisting the garment to prevent fiber distortion.
  • Dry in Shade: Always turn the garment inside out and air dry in shaded, well-ventilated areas away from harsh afternoon sun.

Protecting Zari & Embroideries

For intricately worked pieces like our Advita Bandhani Mandala Print Frock Suit, wrap the garment in unbleached muslin cloth before placing it in cedar-lined drawers. Avoid naphthalene balls directly touching metallic zari.
