Fabric & Care Guide

KUHELIKA | কুহেলিকা

A saree is not just a garment — it is a living textile. With the right care, your KUHELIKA | কুহেলিকা saree will only grow more beautiful with time.

Silk Sarees

• Dry clean only, or hand wash gently in cold water with mild detergent.
• Never wring or twist. Press between dry towels to absorb moisture.
• Dry in shade — never in direct sunlight, which fades the sheen.
• Iron on low heat with a thin cotton cloth between the iron and the saree.
• Store folded in a soft muslin cloth, not plastic.

Jamdani Sarees

• Hand wash only in cold water. Do not machine wash.
• Use a gentle, colour-safe detergent.
• Avoid soaking for extended periods to preserve the weave.
• Dry flat in shade to maintain shape.
• Store loosely folded with a neem leaf or cedar block to deter insects.

Cotton Sarees

• Hand wash or gentle machine wash in cold water.
• Wash dark colours separately the first few times.
• Iron on medium heat while slightly damp for a crisp finish.
• Cotton is breathable and easy to care for — ideal for daily wear.

General Storage Tips

• Refold sarees along different lines every few months to prevent permanent creases.
• Air sarees out occasionally, even if unworn.
• Keep away from moisture and direct sunlight.
• Never store in sealed plastic bags — fabric needs to breathe.

Treat your saree with love, and it will last a lifetime.
