Maintenance of Paithani Saree:
1. Never hand-wash or machine-wash a silk paithani saree.
2. In case the silk saree gets stained, immediately wipe the stain off with cold water.
3. It is advisable to only dry-clean paithani silk sarees.
4. Never hang your beautiful silk saree design to dry in direct sunlight as doing so will cause the color to fade.
5. Don't keep the saree bundled up as this will result in the threads of the beautiful embroidery or zari work getting entangled.
6. Store your paithani saree in a light cotton muslin cloth. This will give the saree breathing space and will prevent one saree from sticking to another when kept in a pile.
7. Don't store your saree in a plastic bag or a cover as this will cause the gold embroidery to turn black.
