Fabric Care

At avirate Bangladesh, we are committed to providing you with high-quality sarees
that are as easy to care for as they are beautiful. To help you maintain the elegance and longevity of your sarees, we have put together these
fabric care tips.

1. General Care Instructions

a. Handle with Care
Avoid Rough Handling: Be gentle when wearing, washing, or storing your saree to prevent damage or snagging.
Store Properly: Keep your saree in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.

b. Cleaning
Dry Clean Only: For most of our sarees, especially delicate fabrics like Silk and Banarasi, dry cleaning is recommended. This helps maintain the
fabric’s texture and color.
Hand Wash (If Applicable): If the saree is labeled as hand washable, use cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric.
Gently press out excess water and lay flat to dry.

2. Fabric-Specific Care

a. Silk Sarees
Dry Clean Only: Silk is a delicate fabric that should be dry cleaned to preserve its sheen and structure.
Avoid Water: Silk can be weakened by water, so avoid washing it yourself.
Iron with Care: If necessary, iron on a low setting while the fabric is still slightly damp. Use a pressing cloth to prevent direct contact
with the iron.

b. Banarasi Sarees
Dry Clean Only: These sarees often feature intricate embroidery and embellishments that require professional cleaning.
Handle Gently: Avoid exposing to strong perfumes or lotions to prevent discoloration.
Store in a Breathable Fabric Bag: Keep in a fabric bag to protect against dust and light.

c. Chiffon Sarees
Hand Wash or Dry Clean: Chiffon sarees can be hand washed in cold water with a mild detergent or dry cleaned for best results.
Avoid Stretching: Handle gently to avoid stretching or distorting the fabric.
Air Dry: Lay flat or hang to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading.

d. Tissue Sarees
Dry Clean Recommended: Tissue sarees, which have a light, crinkled texture, are best cleaned by professionals.
Avoid Excessive Moisture: Keep away from water to maintain the fabric’s appearance.
Store Carefully: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture damage.

e. Crepe Sarees
Hand Wash or Dry Clean: Wash crepe sarees in cold water with a mild detergent or opt for dry cleaning.
Iron on Low Heat: Iron on a low heat setting while the saree is slightly damp to avoid shine marks.

f. Organza Sarees
Dry Clean Only: Organza sarees are best cleaned by professionals to maintain their crisp texture.
Avoid Contact with Oils and Lotions: These can damage the fabric.
Store Flat: Store flat to avoid creases or deformation.

g. Georgette Sarees
Hand Wash or Dry Clean: Georgette sarees can be hand washed in cold water with mild detergent or dry cleaned.
Iron on Low Heat: Use a low heat setting for ironing to maintain the fabric’s flow and texture.

3. Stain Removal Tips
Act Quickly: Address stains as soon as possible to prevent them from setting.
Blot, Don’t Rub: Blot stains gently with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, which can spread the stain or damage the fabric.
Use Mild Cleaners: For minor stains, use a mild detergent or stain remover suitable for the fabric. Test on a small, inconspicuous area first.

4. Storage Tips
Use Cotton Garment Bags: Store your sarees in breathable cotton garment bags to protect against dust and damage.
Avoid Plastic: Plastic can trap moisture and lead to mildew. Opt for fabric storage solutions.
Keep Away from Direct Sunlight: Store in a dark, dry place to prevent fading and deterioration.

5. Professional Cleaning Services
For the best care, we recommend using professional cleaning services for delicate fabrics. They have the expertise to handle intricate designs and
maintain the fabric’s quality.
