  1. How to Maintain and Store Banarasi Sarees the Right Way 01 Simple ways to maintain the beauty of your treasured silk weave

  2. Why Care Matters • Banarasi sarees are handwoven silk treasures that last for decades if maintained well. • Proper care helps preserve their shine, zari work, and texture. • Neglect or wrong washing methods can cause color fading and fabric damage. 02

  3. Understanding the Fabric • Made from pure silk and metallic zari threads • Sensitive to moisture, sunlight, and harsh detergents • Knowing the fabric helps choose the right cleaning and storage method 03

  4. Cleaning Tips - The Right Way • Dry cleaning is always the safest method for Banarasi sarees. • Avoid washing at home with regular detergent. • For light stains: use cold water and mild fabric cleaner (test on hidden area first). • Never scrub, twist, or wring the saree. 04

  5. Ironing and Handling • Always iron on the reverse side of the saree. • Use low to medium heat or place a thin cotton cloth on top. • Avoid direct contact between the hot iron and the zari area. • Hang carefully or lay flat after ironing to avoid creases. 05

  6. Folding the Saree Properly • Refold the saree every 3-4 months to prevent permanent creases. • Change the folding direction each time. • Keep zari-facing sides inward to avoid tarnishing. • Place soft butter paper or cotton cloth between folds. 06

  7. Storing Banarasi Sarees • Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. • Use muslin or cotton cloth covers (avoid plastic or synthetic bags). • Add silica gel packets or neem leaves to protect from moisture and insects. • Don’t hang them for long; silk may stretch. 07

  8. Dealing with Moisture and Stains • If the saree gets damp, air-dry in the shade immediately. • Never use a hairdryer or sunlight to dry. • For spills, blot gently with a clean white cloth. • Avoid perfumes and deodorants directly on the saree fabric. 08

  9. Long-Term Preservation Tips • Wrap zari areas with acid-free tissue paper. • Keep sarees separate by color to prevent dye transfer. • Rotate usage to avoid fabric stiffness. • For heirloom sarees, get them professionally cleaned once a year. 09

  10. ✅ Dry clean only • ✅ Fold and refold regularly • ✅ Store in breathable cloth • ✅ Avoid sunlight and harsh chemicals • ✅ Treat your Banarasi saree like a family heirloom Summary - Keep the Grace Alive 10
