How to Take Care of Your Silk Saree? Some simple tips

2. When you wash silk wash Pallu, Border and Sari’s body separately.

4. Spread a sheet of paper on the top of the silk sari while ironing. There are chances for sari to get damaged with the heat. It’s always better to iron the sari with a little moisture content and fold it to keep in almarah.

8. As time passes by, silk’s golden border may change blackish. To avoid this, wrap your sari in brown paper.
