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.

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.
Never hang your favorite organza saree in direct sunlight. Instead, use a shaded area to dry your saree.

After drying, wrap your Organza saree in a soft muslin cloth. Store the saree in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Additionally, refold your Organza sarees from time to time to avoid permanent creases & ripping of the fabric.
