Soft Paithani Silk Saree with Meenakari Weaving Design.

It is advisable to have our sarees dry cleaned and store them wrapped in cotton fabric when kept in your wardrobe.

Wearing crisp cotton sarees to formal events and meetings is delightful when they are well-starched and ironed. However, the stiffness of starched sarees can make them difficult to manage. This is particularly true for new cotton sarees or certain fine silks like garad or tussar. Here are a few simple techniques to lessen the stiffness in starched sarees:

• If you wish to soften the saree without eliminating the starch completely, use a steam iron on the saree. Ensure the iron is set to the appropriate setting for the fabric of the saree.
  
  
• To completely remove the starch, soak the saree in cold water for 30 minutes. Afterwards, rinse, dry, and steam iron the saree to get rid of all starch remnants.
  
  
• For sarees with heavy starch, add half a cup of distilled white vinegar to a bucket of cold water and let the saree soak for 30 minutes. Then, rinse, dry, and steam iron the saree. It will be soft and free of starch!

To maintain the quality and beauty of your Kekovi sarees, it is best to fold them neatly and store them in a cool, dry place. Wrap each saree in a muslin or cotton cloth to protect it from dust and direct sunlight. Additionally, place silica gel packets in your storage area to keep moisture at bay.

For delicate fabrics like those used in Kekovi sarees, it's important to treat stains carefully. For light stains, gently dab the affected area with a cloth soaked in a mild detergent solution. Avoid rubbing the fabric harshly. For tougher stains, it's best to seek professional dry cleaning services to ensure the saree remains undamaged.
