How should I wash and store my delicate Chikankari clothes?

Hand-washing is always recommended to protect the intricate thread work. Use cold water and a mild, gentle liquid detergent. Avoid harsh wringing or twisting; instead, gently squeeze the excess water out and let the garment dry in the shade to prevent the colors from fading. Always iron your Chikankari clothes inside out on a low heat setting to avoid snagging the embroidery.
