How to Take Care of Your Tissue Silk Sarees: Maintenance Guide
Once I had finished my brother’s wedding, I was rushed to carefully fold my golden tissue silk saree. It was my husband's gift. I smiled at once, the saree shimmering under the lights and making me feel like something special and royal. I knew how delicate and precious the saree was to me. So I decided to take care of it rather than simply fold and place it in a cupboard. Like me, many of us add a lot of value to our silk sarees— especially tissue silk — for their elegance and shine. Let’s explore the story of proper tissue silk saree care.
Understanding Tissue Silk's Beauty:
As I know, tissue silk is prized for its rich texture, light weight, and elusive shimmer. Wow! No words—it blends silk with metallic threads like gold or silver, making the saree elegant for grand occasions. But the caring part is most important because of its delicate weave to avoid damage. My husband bought this from Anantham Silks. They don’t just sell sarees — they share a part of India’s tradition and elegance. The best part is that they also guide me to protect and care for what I love. Girls from this modern era always need this type of guidance, which is more useful. Thank you, Anantham Silks.
Step 1: Handle with Love
Sharing some tips or guidance with you all makes me happier. Always be gentle with your tissue silk saree while you are wearing it or folding it. Kindly avoid using very sharp pins or wearing heavy jewelry that might pull the saree threads. As we are all making this mistake, even when we are tired, we just leave the saree on the bed or chair. Instead, kindly fold the tissue saree properly and let it breathe for a few hours before storing. This helps keep our saree fresh and wrinkle-free. I do this kind of caring for my saree because it is very special.
Step 2: Just Dry Clean
Regular detergents and water are not good for tissue silk. For your saree, always choose expert dry cleaning. It is the best option for caring for your silk saree ever. This maintenance keeps your sarees shining and their color intact, but also ensures the delicate threads are not damaged. Anantham Silks always recommends dry cleaning to all the customers who take home their precious sarees. I am a happy customer of Anantham Silks.
Step 3: Store it properly
It is the most important part of tissue silk. How will we store the tissue saree properly? Kindly never hang it for a long time; your fabric will stretch. Instead, fold it neatly and wrap it in a soft cotton or muslin cloth. Avoid direct sunlight and moisture. And here’s a special tip: change the folds every few months to avoid permanent creases.
Step 4: Keep Away from Perfumes and Sprays
Personally, as a perfume lover, it is very hard for me to accept the facts. But this is the hard truth. Avoid spraying perfumes or deodorants directly on your tissue silk saree. The chemicals can stain or weaken the precious threads. If you want to spray before you dress, as I do, not after. Take some little steps to care for our loved ones.
Step 5: Iron with Care
Don’t give your tissue silk saree for ironing directly. Always keep in mind to place a thin cotton cloth over it and use low heat. This helps you to avoid any damage. A better option is giving for StreamPress. So always take your time to care for the gorgeous tissue silk saree.
Final part of the story
Caring for my tissue silk saree is like preserving lots of memories. Hope you also feel the same. As a happy customer and modern Tamil girl, I really appreciate Anantham Silks for bringing home tradition, beauty, and artistry along with their product. Highly recommended for all generations. So the next time you drape that elegant saree, remember — with a little love and care, it will always stay by your side, just like your memories.
