Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I wash a Vidarbha Tussar Saree at home?

Wash the saree gently using cold water and a pH-neutral silk detergent. Avoid rubbing, twisting, or wringing the fabric. Rinse thoroughly, press excess water with a towel, and dry it flat in a shaded, well-ventilated area.

2. Can I machine wash a Vidarbha Tussar Saree?

No. Machine washing can stretch delicate silk fibres, disturb the handwoven structure, and reduce the natural shine of the saree. Gentle hand washing or professional dry cleaning is the safest option.

3. Which detergent is best for a Vidarbha Tussar Saree?

Always choose a pH-neutral detergent specially formulated for silk fabrics. Mild silk detergents protect natural fibres, preserve colour, and maintain the softness and strength of the saree without causing damage.
