🧼 Fabric Care & Maintenance

How do I remove common stains from sarees and salwar suits without damaging fabric?

Different stains need different approaches. Key rule: treat stains immediately — never let them dry and set.

Stain TypeTreatmentWhat to Avoid
Food / curryBlot immediately with cold water. Apply liquid dish soap, gently rub, rinse cold.Never rub hard — spreads stain
Oil / gheeSprinkle baby powder or cornstarch, leave 15 min to absorb oil. Brush off, then treat with dish soap.Water alone does not remove oil
Lipstick / makeupDab with micellar water or makeup remover. Then hand wash with mild soap.Avoid hot water — sets makeup stains
Ink / penDab with surgical spirit (isopropyl alcohol) on white cloth. Blot, do not rub.Water alone ineffective on ink
BloodCold water only — never hot. Hydrogen peroxide (3%) for stubborn blood on white fabric.Hot water permanently sets blood stains
Sweat / deodorantSoak in 1:1 white vinegar and water for 30 min before washing.Bleach — damages colour and fabric
