Essential tips for maintaining the beauty and longevity of your poshaks — washing, storage, and respectful handling practices.
Devotional garments (poshaks) feature delicate fabrics, fine embroidery, and decorative trims. Proper care and respectful storage preserve their beauty and longevity.
1. Avoid harsh detergents. For cotton garments, use mild soap in cold water.
2. Do not wring or scrub garments with heavy embroidery, pearls, or mirror work.
3. Silk and velvet poshaks should ideally be dry-cleaned or spot-cleaned gently with a soft damp cloth.
Ensure poshaks are completely dry before storing to prevent moisture damage.
Store garments flat in a clean, dry box lined with breathable cotton cloth or muslin. Avoid plastic bags that trap humidity.
Hand washing in cold water with mild, natural soap is recommended to preserve fine stitching and borders. Machine cycles can damage delicate trims.
