Posted by HENNA MALHOTRA
Organza is an alluring sheer fabric that is primarily made from silk. With time innovative Organza materials woven from synthetic fabrics like Rayon, Polyester, and Nylon came into the limelight.
Organza has become a cult favorite over recent times for bridal gowns, dresses, lehengas and sarees. Organza sarees are delicately lightweight as compared to other common saree fabrics. So, you need to take special care of these sarees after you wear them to parties, festivals or special occasions. Read on to find out how!
1. How to Wash Organza Sarees
Always start by water testing a small portion of your precious organza saree for water reaction. If the fabric undergoes any stretching, shrinking, tightening, or wrinkling - then Dry clean your organza saree or follow the Wash/Care instructions given by the saree manufacturer.
If your Organza saree stays normal even after the “water test” then you can hand wash it.
- Start by adding 1-2 spoons of mild detergent to a bucket of cold water.
- Gently soak the entire saree in the water for up to 30 minutes.
- After that rinse the garment with running cold water until all the soap is removed.
2. How to Dry Organza Sarees?
Never wring your precious Organza saree. Instead, place the saree on a flat surface, put a towel on it and press it to drain excess water.
