Handloom Saree Care Guide: Preserving Heritage Textiles
Handloom sarees are special clothes made with care, using materials like silk or cotton.
They're like art you can wear, but need gentle handling.
Always dry clean them, never machine wash!
When drying, keep them out of the sun and store in cotton or muslin.
Iron them carefully, too.
If you treat them well, they'll last and you can wear them for a long time.

Dry cleaning is the recommended method to clean handloom sarees.
Air-dry sarees in the shade, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading and damage.
