Care Guide

Your Nirvita saree is a precious piece of craftsmanship. With the right care, it will remain beautiful for generations.

General Care Tips
  • Air it out in the shade after every wear to release moisture before storing
  • Dry clean silk sarees after every 4–5 wears — avoid home washing
  • Cotton weaves can be gently hand-washed with a mild detergent in cold water. A little colour bleeding in the first few washes is completely normal
  • Always use sharp safety pins to avoid snagging the fabric
  • Iron on the reverse side only, on a low heat setting, with a soft cotton cloth placed over the saree
  • Keep perfume and deodorant away from the fabric — spray before draping, never after
Storage
  • Wrap in a muslin or soft cotton cloth — never plastic, which traps moisture and damages silk over time
  • Refold along different lines every few months to prevent permanent crease marks
  • Place moisture-absorbing silica sachets nearby to protect from humidity
  • Never use naphthalene balls near silk — the chemicals damage the fibre over time
A Note on Handloom
  • Slight irregularities in the weave and variations in yarn texture are natural characteristics of hand-woven textiles — not defects
  • Colours may appear slightly different across screens and lighting conditions
