stylish cotton linen sarees to keep it looking beautiful for years to come.
Being handloom saree cotton linen requires a lot of
attention and care as they are extremely delicate. It is always preferred that
you give it to dry the cleaners for a wash. But if you do not want your saree
to be dry cleaned, then you must take the caring matter into your own hands –
Do not machine wash cotton linen sarees. Linen is a
delicate fabric, so you should handle it gently throughout this entire process.
Do not bundle and leave the saree for a long time in wet conditions.
Cleaning
When
you wash your linen saree for the first time, soak it in cold or lukewarm water
mixed with salt for 10-15 minutes before you wash your saree with soap or
detergent. This will preserve the printed color, extend its life, and keep it
from shrinking. Do not brush or beat the saree while washing even for stains,
as it can easily tear the fabric. NEVER use hot water as it is very delicate.
Stain
Removing
Draping a pristine linen saree is more refreshing than
any other saree. But a drop of stain can
ruin all your joy. So to deal with the stain wet only the stain areas with
water, apply a thick coat of white toothpaste over the stains on both sides,
keep hanging the saree for at least 72 hours. After washing off the toothpaste
it’s good if the stains are completely gone or otherwise repeat the process.
You can rub gently while washing.
Even it is lipstick stains don’t worry! The darkest of
lip color stains even can be removed if you can take action quickly. Place on a
white tissue paper with the stain side down, dab the stain with mild soap and
let it remain the stain for 10 -15 minutes. Now press the stained area with
another clean cloth placing a clean paper towel underneath. you can see the lipstick and soap seeping
into the paper towel. Replace the paper
towel quickly or else the lipstick may spread. The process can be repeated
until the stain removes completely.
Softness
To keep the handloom sarees remain soft or to remove
the stiffness you can wash the saree in this way – mix any shampoo or mild liquid
detergent in water, soak the saree 30 minutes and wash gently, then rinse and
dry. It is always advisable to avoid direct sunlight when drying the saree. Dry
it in the shade or partial shade to avoid discoloration of the fabric. Hang it
until dries completely.
Ironing
If you really need pressing your linen saree, iron it
while the fabric is still a little damp. Keep the iron in medium to low heat on
the steam setting. We advise o iron the
linen on both sides if it is white, whilst dark printed linens should be
pressed only on the reverse side. Also, keep the garment on an ironing board or
a cotton cloth before pressing to avoid creases. Do not spray water on the
saree while ironing as it may leave permanent marks on the fabric.
Storing
While making the purchase a Rangoli
branded cotton linen sarees we always tell our customers to store
the saree wrapped in a light cotton muslin cloth. This will give the saree
breathing space. Also, it will prevent the saree from sticking to another one
when kept in a pile. And without fail remember to store the saree only when it
is absolutely dry or moisture can damage the fabric. Lastly, store the saree preferably
in a dark and dry place to avoid eventual fading of the fabric.
