. Primary Recommendation: Dry Clean Only

• Embroidery & Embellishments: Because of the heavy neck handwork, sequence, and embroidery, Dry Cleaning is strictly recommended for the first few washes to preserve the detail, color, and fabric shape.

• Chanderi / Silk Blend: Water can shrink fine Chanderi weaves or dull its natural sheen.

2. Gentle Home Wash (Only for Pure Mal Cotton / Plain Chanderi)

If the garment is made of soft Mal Cotton / Chanderi Cotton Blend and you choose to hand-wash it after initial dry cleans:

• Cold Water Only: Fill a basin with cold water; hot or warm water will shrink the fabric.

• Mild Detergent: Use a pH-neutral liquid detergent or baby shampoo. Avoid harsh detergent powders or bleach.

• No Soaking or Scrubbing: Gently dip and swirl for 2–3 minutes. Do not rub the embroidered yoke, wring, or twist the fabric.

• Drying: Do not hang while wet (gravity stretches thin weaves). Roll in a dry towel to absorb extra water, then lay flat to dry in the shade away from direct sunlight.
