How do I care for a heavily embroidered net saree or embroidered georgette saree?

Heavily embroidered sarees (with dense sequin, cutwork, or threadwork on net or georgette base) are the most delicate category to care for. Here is the full care protocol:

After wearing:

• Shake gently to remove dust — embroidered net collects dust in the mesh
• Air for 3–4 hours before storing
• Check for any loose threads or detached sequins — secure before storing

Cleaning options:

• Professional dry cleaning is strongly recommended — net tears easily in water, and sequins can detach
• If surface spot cleaning is needed: lightly damp clean cloth, gentle blotting only — no rubbing
• Never soak embroidered net in water

Storage:

• Do NOT fold — rolling on a wide tube (10 cm+ diameter) is ideal
• If folding is unavoidable: fold along seam lines only, tissue paper at every fold point, never fold on embroidery
• Store in a rigid box — embroidered net cannot bear weight on top
