Silk Care & FAQs

Pure Silk & Handloom Care Guide

At Debankita Collection, each handloom saree, bridal lehenga, and artisanal ensemble is woven with pure silk threads and delicate zari work. With proper care, these timeless heirlooms retain their luster and grace across generations.

1. Dry Cleaning

We strictly recommend professional dry cleaning for all pure Katan silk, Banarasi weaves, raw silk, and organza garments. Never machine-wash or hand-wash pure silk with conventional detergents.

2. Storage & Preservation

• Wrap pure silk sarees in breathable, unbleached cotton or muslin cloth rather than plastic covers, which can trap humidity.
• Store in a cool, dry, and dark wardrobe away from direct sunlight and moisture.
• Periodically (every 3 to 6 months), unfold and refold the saree along different crease lines to prevent fiber stress along permanent folds.
• Keep pure neem leaves or cedar balls in the wardrobe instead of direct naphthalene balls to protect precious zari threads.

3. Ironing & Steaming

Always iron silk on the reverse side using medium-to-low heat. Use a clean pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric to safeguard delicate gold and silver zari motifs. Handheld vertical garment steamers are ideal for organza and lehenga flares.

4. Perfumes & Sprays

Always apply perfumes, hairsprays, and deodorants and let them dry completely before draping your saree or donning your blouse. Direct chemical contact can tarnish authentic metallic zari.
