5 Tips to Care for Your Silk & Modal Sarees

Your designer sarees deserve care that keeps them looking new. Whether you own modal silk sarees, cotton Ajrakh, or sarees under 1500, these simple tips will help you maintain colour, drape, and longevity.

1. Follow the Wash Care Label

Every saree we sell at Moshomart comes with clear care instructions. Modal silk sarees often allow gentle hand wash or dry clean. Cotton and blended sarees under 1500 may be hand-washed in cold water. Always check the label before the first wash.

2. Store Away from Sunlight

Direct sunlight can fade prints and weaken fabric. Store your designer sarees in a cool, dry place—folded in cotton cloth or in a breathable wardrobe. This is especially important for ajrakh sarees online and other printed pieces.

3. Use Mild Detergent

Harsh detergents can damage silk and modal fibres. Use a mild, pH-neutral detergent when washing at home. For modal silk sarees and delicate weaves, consider professional dry cleaning for the best results.

4. Iron on Low Heat

Turn the saree inside out and use a low heat setting. Avoid pressing directly on prints or embroidery. Proper ironing keeps your affordable designer sarees crisp and ready to wear.

5. Rotate Your Collection

Giving each saree a rest between wears helps maintain shape and colour. Browse our shop sarees to add more sarees under 1500 and modal silk sarees to your rotation.
