Care Tips
How to Care for Your Myllu Silks Saree
Every Myllu Silks saree carries hours of skilled handwork, tradition, and craftsmanship in every thread. A little mindful care goes a long way in keeping its silk lustrous, its zari bright, and its story ready to be passed down. Here's how to look after your saree, whether you're wearing it for the first time or unwrapping it years from now.
Storing It Right
Refold Every Few Months: Change the fold lines every couple of months so the silk doesn't crease permanently along the same edges.
Wrap in Cotton or Muslin: Skip plastic covers. Silk breathes best in soft cotton or muslin cloth.
Keep It Flat: Store folded, not hung, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Let It Breathe: Unfold and air your saree in the shade every few months to keep it fresh.
Cleaning & Ironing
Dry Clean Only: Always choose professional dry cleaning to protect the silk and zari work.
Iron with Care: Use a cotton cloth as a barrier and keep the iron on a low setting. Never let heat touch the zari or embroidery directly.
No Direct Perfume: Spray fragrances on your skin or blouse, never directly on the silk — it can dull the natural sheen over time.
Everyday Handling
Clean, Dry Hands: Handle your saree with clean, dry hands — oils and lotions can leave marks on silk.
Keep the Blouse Piece Together: If you're saving the matching blouse fabric, store it alongside the saree so it's always within reach.
Spills Happen: Gently blot (never rub) any spill, and take it to a trusted dry cleaner as soon as possible.
With a little care and attention, your Myllu Silks saree will stay as beautiful as the day it arrived. Wear it with pride, care for it gently, and one day, pass it on.
