Banarasi & silk saree dry cleaning in Ranchi

Why silk sarees need specialist care

A Banarasi saree is woven silk with metallic zari, often in colours that aren't fully fast. Water and household detergent can make the colours bleed, stiffen the silk, and dull or blacken the zari. Rubbing at a stain can break the weave. That's why silk sarees should be dry cleaned, not washed.

How we clean a Banarasi saree

• Inspection — we check the silk, zari, borders, pallu and any existing damage, and note stains
• Colour test — a hidden spot is tested before cleaning
• Hand spot-treatment for food, oil, makeup, haldi and mehendi stains
• Dry cleaning with SEITZ solvents suited to silk
• Hand-finishing — steam-pressed with a pressing cloth to protect the zari

Storing your saree after cleaning

Wrap it in muslin or cotton, never plastic, and refold it every few months to stop the zari cracking along the folds. Our silk saree care guide has the details.
