Part 1: Ethnic Wear Garment Care - Questions & Answers

Q: What is the single most important rule for caring for heavy ethnic wear like silk sarees? A: Avoid hanging them. The weight of the embroidery and fabric can cause the garment to stretch and lose its shape over time. The best practice is to fold the garment neatly, with the zari or embroidered side facing inwards, and store it flat.

Q: What is the best way to store ethnic garments to prevent damage? A: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use breathable muslin cloth bags, not plastic. This allows air to circulate, preventing moisture buildup, mildew, and yellowing of the fabric.

Q: How do I protect my garments from perfume or deodorant stains? A: Always apply perfumes, deodorants, and hairsprays before wearing your garment. Allow them to dry completely. Direct contact with the chemicals in these products can cause permanent discoloration and damage to delicate fabrics.

Q: What is the correct way to wash silk ethnic wear? A: Professional dry cleaning is mandatory. Silk, especially with zari work or heavy embroidery, is extremely delicate. Home washing can cause color bleeding, shrinkage, and damage to the embellishments. Always entrust YNF silk garments to a professional dry cleaner.

Q: How should I iron a silk saree or lehenga? A: Use a low-heat setting or a steam iron. Crucially, always iron on the reverse side of the fabric. This protects the sheen, color, and any delicate embroidery on the front. Place a thin cotton cloth between the iron and the garment for extra protection.

Q: How can I prevent creases from setting into my folded silk sarees? A: Refold your silk garments every 3-4 months. This changes the crease lines and prevents them from becoming permanent, which can weaken the fabric over time. Placing acid-free tissue paper between the folds can also help prevent color transfer and protect the zari.

Q: How should I wash cotton ethnic wear? A: Hand wash cotton garments separately in cold water using a mild liquid detergent. Do not use bleach, as it weakens cotton fibers and causes colors to fade.

Q: What is the best way to dry cotton garments? A: Air dry them in a shaded area. Direct sunlight will cause the colors to fade. Avoid wringing the fabric tightly; gently squeeze out excess water to preserve the garment's shape.

Q: What should I do immediately if I spill something on my garment? A: Blot, don't rub. Use a clean, dry cloth to gently absorb the spill. Rubbing will push the stain deeper into the fabric fibers and can damage the weave. For stubborn stains, consult a professional dry cleaner immediately.
