How to Care for Eri Silk

Your Eri Silk is handcrafted with love — caring for it should be just as thoughtful.

Unlike mass-produced fabrics, Eri Silk is a natural, handwoven luxury. With a little mindful care, it becomes softer and more beautiful over time — a textile that ages gracefully, just like heritage art.

Washing Eri Silk — Be Gentle, Always

Eri Silk prefers softness, not stress.

Hand Wash Recommended

✔ Use cold or lukewarm water
✔ Choose mild, pH-neutral, or baby-safe detergent
✔ Wash gently — no wringing or twisting

Avoid dry cleaning chemicals unless absolutely necessary.

❌ Avoid These

🚫 Harsh detergents with bleach or enzymes
🚫 Machine wash (unless gentle/silk mode & inside garment bag)
🚫 Soaking for too long

 Drying Eri Silk — Sunlight, But with Care

Direct harsh sun can fade natural dyes.

✔ Dry flat in shade
✔ Roll in a towel to remove excess water (instead of squeezing)
✔ Keep away from sharp objects while drying

Let it dry naturally — no hair dryers or hot blowers.

Ironing Eri Silk — Low Heat Only

To maintain its naturally textured beauty:

✔ Iron on medium to low heat
✔ Press while slightly damp or use steam
✔ Turn garment inside-out to protect surface

Tip: Place a cotton cloth on top while ironing delicate zari or embroidery.

 Storing Eri Silk — Let It Breathe

Eri Silk needs air circulation.

✔ Store in a cool, dry place
✔ Fold with muslin cloth to prevent snagging
✔ Add neem leaves or cedar blocks (keeps insects away)

🚫 Avoid: plastic bags for long-term storage (traps moisture → mildew)

 Stain Care — Quick & Calm

If you accidentally spill:

✔ Spot-clean immediately with gentle dabbing
✔ Use cold water — warm may set stain
✔ Avoid rubbing aggressively (it roughens fibers)

For oily stains → mild detergent + patience (not force)

Long-Term Love — Let It Age Gracefully

Every wear enhances Eri Silk’s softness.

✔ Rotate folds occasionally
✔ Air them out after long storage
✔ Keep accessories like jewelry away while wearing

Eri Silk is naturally strong — respect the weave, and it will last years.
