CLOTHING CARE

All silks and hand embroidered outfits need to be preserved in a correct manner to ensure that the outfit you order stays in the best condition for a long time.

Any embroidery exposed to moisture, perfume or any other element that contains alcohol will blacken the embroidery immediately. It is therefore advisable to keep all embroidered outfits wrapped in muslin cloth. Make sure when you fold embroidered outfits there is minimal friction between the cloth and the embroidery. If you notice any loose thread on the fabric or on the embroidery DO NOT try to pull it out. Simply use scissors to cut it off neatly. Embroidered outfits are best maintained if kept in a hanging position. All outfits ordered from Sahil.com must be dry-cleaned. Do not ever try to wash it at home as this will definitely damage your outfits permanently.

For Cottons

Wash white cotton clothes separately in warm water

Wash coloured clothes in cold water

After you have scrubbed out the dirt, wash the clothes in clean running water and wring out the soap water thoroughly to prevent it from damaging the fabric

Do not keep your cotton clothes wrapped in plastic bags for long periods of time, they might get discoloured

Cottons, organdies, are easier to iron when they are damp

For Silks

Expensive silks should be dry cleaned rather than washed at home

If you do wash silks at home, wash them with a gentle liquid detergent. Dry in shade, white silks tend to yellow when dried in the sun

While ironing silk sarees or dresses with zari work, never place the iron on the zari

Use 'saree covers' made of cotton (available in the market) to wrap your silk sarees in before storing them in the cupboard

Sprinkle clove sticks in the cupboard where you keep your silk sarees to keep moths at bay

Re-fold silk sarees at regular intervals. If you keep sarees folded in a certain way for a very long time, they tend to rip along the folds

For Synthetics

Always wash synthetics in cold water with a mild detergent

Do not wring or squeeze synthetic clothes

Put the clothes on a hanger to dry to retain the shape of the garments

If you need to iron synthetics, set the iron at its lowest temperature

For Woollens

Always wash woollens with a very mild detergent, liquid detergents like Ezee/Genteel are safest to use. Harsh detergents spoil the texture of woollen garments and cause shrinkage

Do not use bleach

Do not soak woollens in detergents for too long a time

Do not twist or wring woollen garments, squeeze the water out gently

Never hang woollen garments to dry, they will go out of shape. Spread a towel on a table and place the woolen garment on it to dry

If you need to iron a woollen garment: set the temperature of the iron at its lowest, place a damp cloth over the garment and then iron.
