Tips from the Experts at Sithara Silks

Silk is a delicate and luxurious fabric that requires special care to maintain its beauty and durability. At Sithara Silks, we want you to enjoy your beautiful silk garments for years to come. That’s why we’ve compiled a few expert tips on how to properly care for your silk sarees, dupattas, and other silk items to ensure they remain in pristine condition.

First and foremost, dry cleaning is the safest method of cleaning your silk garments. While some may choose to hand wash, silk is particularly sensitive to water and detergent, which can strip the fabric of its natural shine. Dry cleaning removes dirt and stains without compromising the texture or luster of the fabric. Always check the care label of your garment, as some may have specific instructions based on the type of silk.

When storing your silk garments, it’s important to keep them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Sunlight can cause the silk to fade, losing its vibrancy and richness over time. To protect your silk from dust and moths, we recommend storing your garments in breathable fabric bags. Never hang silk items in a closet without protection, as this could stretch the fabric and affect the shape of the garment. Finally, avoid folding silk for long periods, as this can create creases that are difficult to remove.

By following these simple yet effective care guidelines, you can enjoy your Sithara Silks garments for years to come, keeping them looking as fresh and radiant as the day you bought them. Proper care not only preserves the beauty of silk but also honors the craftsmanship that goes into creating each piece.
