Wash Care:
Using soapnut to wash is highly recommended. Do not soak or scrub. Wash separately in mild detergent or soapnut powder, with cool water and dry in shade, preferably. If it is being sun-dried, remove it immediately after it dries; the harsh sun can fade a saree.
The saree does not need ironing if it dries without any creases.
Dry clean is a great option ,too if easily available.
The colour may or may not bleed depending on the dye used.
