Care Instructions for traditional clothes:

1. Dry Cleaning: Traditional clothes are often made of delicate fabrics and adorned with intricate embellishments. Dry cleaning is the preferred method for cleaning traditional clothes to ensure their longevity. Take your traditional clothes to a professional dry cleaner who specializes in handling delicate garments.
2. Storing: Proper storage is crucial to maintain the quality of your traditional clothes. After dry cleaning, store your traditional clothes in a cotton or muslin garment bag. Avoid using plastic bags as they can trap moisture and lead to mould or mildew. Hang the traditional clothes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent discolouration or fading.
3. Folding: If you prefer folding your traditional clothes, ensure it is clean and dry before proceeding. Gently fold the traditional clothes along the pleats, keeping the embellished side on the inside to protect it. Place acid-free tissue paper between the folds to prevent creasing and maintain the shape. Store the folded traditional clothes in a cotton or muslin bag.
4. Handling: When handling your traditional clothes, be mindful of the delicate fabrics and embellishments. Avoid pulling or tugging forcefully, as it can damage the stitching or embellishments. Handle the traditional clothes with clean hands to prevent transferring dirt or oils onto the fabric.
5. Ironing: If your traditional clothes require ironing, use a low heat setting and place a thin cotton cloth over the traditional clothes before ironing. This will protect the fabric from direct heat and prevent any damage. Avoid ironing over embellishments or delicate embroidery to avoid flattening or melting them.
6. Spot Cleaning: In case of minor stains or spills, it's important to act quickly. Use a soft, clean cloth or a cotton swab dipped in a mild detergent diluted with water to gently dab the stained area. Avoid rubbing vigorously, as it can spread the stain or damage the fabric. Always test the cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area before applying it to the stain.
7. Fragile Embellishments: traditional clothes often feature delicate embellishments such as sequins, beads, or zari work. Handle these areas with extra care, as they can snag or come loose easily. Avoid hanging traditional clothes next to sharp objects or jewellery that may catch on the fabric.
8. Perfumes and Deodorants: Avoid spraying perfumes or deodorants directly onto your traditional clothes, as they can stain or discolour the fabric. Apply perfumes or deodorants on your body before wearing traditional clothes to prevent any accidental contact.
9. Avoid Moisture and Sunlight: Traditional clothes should be protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Exposure to sunlight can lead to fabric fading or discolouration, while moisture can cause mould, mildew, or damage to the fabric. Store your traditional clothes in a dry place and avoid storing them in areas prone to high humidity.
10. Clothing with a digital print or made of cotton should only be washed separately in cold water to prevent colour runs and shrinkage.

By following these care instructions, you can help ensure the longevity and beauty of your traditional clothes, allowing you to enjoy wearing them on multiple occasions.
