We do not recommend washing cotton sarees, especially handloom or intricately woven ones, in a washing machine. Machine washing may cause:
- Color bleeding
- Fabric shrinkage or distortion
- Damage to embroidery or delicate motifs
For best results, gently hand wash using mild detergent or opt for dry cleaning. Always refer to the ‘wash care’ label for specific instructions tailored to your saree.
