Sunehri - Chiffon Saree with Mukesh Work

Mukesh Chiffon

Washing: Dry clean highly recommended. Water can cause the sheer chiffon base to shrink and pull away from the embedded metallic dots (Mukesh work). If hand washing, use cold water, a mild detergent, and gently swirl—never scrub, wring, or rub the fabric, as friction will dislodge the metal pieces.

Drying: Air dry in the shade. Hang the garment inside out on a padded hanger or lay it flat on a clean towel. Keep it completely away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the colors from fading. Never tumble dry.

Ironing: Iron strictly on the reverse side using the lowest heat setting (silk/synthetic). Always place a clean cotton pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric. Do not use steam, as moisture can tarnish or oxidize the metallic Mukesh dots.

Storage: Wrap in a soft muslin cloth or acid-free tissue paper and store flat. Never use plastic bags, which trap moisture and cause the metallic work to turn black or tarnish over time. Silk

Washing: Dry clean highly recommended to preserve the silk's natural luster and texture. If hand washing, use cold water and a specialized silk detergent. Gently swirl the fabric—never rub, scrub, twist, or wring it.

Drying: Air dry in the shade. Gently squeeze out excess water by rolling the garment in a clean towel, then lay flat or hang on a padded hanger. Never tumble dry or expose to direct sunlight, which weakens silk fibers.

Ironing: Iron on the reverse side while slightly damp using the lowest silk setting. Always place a clean cotton pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric to prevent scorching or shiny marks. Avoid water sprays, which cause water spots.
