After you bring home your silk saris from the dry cleaners, make sure not to right away store them inside a box but leave your sari to air dry after every use and wash. Make sure you do not often give your sari for washing, but prefer handwashing your silk sari at home and use a mild detergent, washing the border, main body, and pallu separately.

Never store your silk saris together or with the other saris as the friction between the saris can cause damage. It’s better that you wrap your silk saris separately in a muslin cloth or opt for a readymade sari bag and then go ahead and store them in your cupboard, but keep it in the open for a while after you have used it.

Many people live in the wrong notion and would not ask you to take this chance, but hanging your silk saris is a great idea. Try to avoid the metal hangers though and opt for wooden hangers which would not leave any rusting detailing as metal hangers may at times react and leave rustic stains which would leave a permanent mark.
