Care Guide
THE CARE GUIDE
Every piece deserves thoughtful care. Follow these guidelines to help preserve the beauty, texture and detailing of your Maavihu Vallure garments for years to come.
1. Read the Garment Care Instructions
Before cleaning or storing your garment, review any care instructions provided with the product. Different fabrics, embroidery and embellishments may require different methods of care.
2. Professional Cleaning
For sarees featuring delicate embroidery, metallic threadwork, sequins, beads or intricate embellishments, professional cleaning suitable for the fabric and construction is recommended. Inform your cleaner about any delicate detailing before treatment.
3. Handle with Care
Handle your garment gently when draping, wearing or folding it. Avoid pulling at embroidery, embellishments or loose threads. Keep the fabric away from sharp accessories, rough surfaces and objects that may snag the material.
4. Protect Embroidery and Embellishments
Embroidered and embellished areas deserve extra attention. Avoid excessive rubbing, twisting or stretching, particularly around borders, decorative motifs and detailed sections. Do not pull loose threads or remove embellishments yourself.
5. Ironing and Steaming
Use only a method suitable for the garment's fabric and embellishments. Avoid placing a hot iron directly on embroidery, sequins, beads or metallic work. If ironing or steaming is necessary, consult a professional cleaner to reduce the risk of damage.
6. Drying and Sunlight
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which may affect fabric colour over time. Do not wring or twist delicate garments to remove moisture. Follow the garment's specific care instructions for drying.
7. Proper Storage
Store your saree in a clean, completely dry and well-ventilated space, away from direct sunlight, excess moisture and heat.
- Ensure the garment is clean and fully dry before storing.
- Fold gently and avoid placing heavy items on delicate embroidery.
- Use a clean, breathable fabric cover where appropriate.
- Refold periodically to help reduce prolonged creasing along the same lines.
8. Keep Away from Perfume and Chemicals
Apply perfume, deodorant, hairspray and other cosmetic products before wearing your garment, allowing them to dry first. Direct contact with cosmetics, oils, cleaning products or other chemicals may stain or damage delicate fabrics and embellishments.
9. Treat Stains Carefully
If a spill occurs, avoid rubbing the affected area or applying household stain removers without checking their suitability. Promptly consult a professional cleaner experienced with delicate and embellished garments.
10. Preserve the Beauty of Your Piece
Thoughtful handling, suitable cleaning and careful storage can help maintain your garment's appearance over time. As fabrics and embellishments differ, always prioritise the specific care instructions supplied with your purchase.
