Wash Care Tips for Tant Saree

Posted by Martliner / March 07, 2023

Tant is one of the most popular saree styles originating from Bengal. The saree style is iconic for multiple reasons and that’s why it is loved by women of all ages. Whether you’re a tant saree lover or introduced to it for the first time, shopping online for an exclusive piece should not be missed. But, while buying your favourite tant sarees online, you need to know how to wash and maintain the fabric so that it sustains long. So, here are a few useful wash care tips that’ll surely help you to maintain the quality of your tant fabric.

Tant sarees are known for the soft fabric that’s usually made of pure cotton. As we all know, cotton is perhaps the finest and most breathable fabric for summer but it can also be worn in all seasons. The best thing about cotton is that the fabric is lightweight and yet can absorb sweat, keeping the wearer comfortable all day long. And since cotton sarees are ideal for all seasons, these sarees are really versatile and you can drape them on any occasion, be it a festival or a wedding. You can also gift a beautiful tant saree to your near ones.

• Wash Care Tips for Tant Saree

Here are a few tant saree wash care tips that are not only effective but also easy to follow:

1. When you are going to wash your tant sarees for the first time, soaking the sarees in lukewarm water is a must. You can also add rock salt to the water for better cleaning. The rock salt-infused lukewarm water will make sure your saree fabric remains intact while ensuring proper cleaning.

2. From the second time onwards, you can wash your tant sarees using a detergent. But, make sure you choose a mild detergent or a shampoo as an alternative to washing your delicate tant sarees. Else, harsh detergent can damage the quality of your saree fabric and reduce its quality and longevity.

3. You can wash your tant cotton sarees both in a machine or by hand. If you prefer handwashing your tant cotton sarees, all you need to do is soak the saree in water with mild detergent for 20-30 minutes, rub the saree gently with your hands and then rinse the detergent well using cold tap water.

4. To retain the crisp texture of tant sarees, you can use starch after cleaning the sarees with detergent. Once you’ve washed the sarees, just add some starch to a water-filled bucket and then soak your sarees in the bucket. As your saree will dry out, you’ll feel the crisp texture has been retained.

5. While cleaning your tant saree, avoid using any harsh brush or element to rub the fabric. Using these can damage the quality of your saree and even tear it. Also, avoid drying your tant sarees directly in sunlight as that might fade the colour of the saree.

6. After drying your tant sarees, you can iron the saree and keep them folded inside the wardrobe. You can either place the saree on your wardrobe shelf or hang the saree on a hanger, which is always a better option for longevity. To keep your saree fragrant, you can use naphthalene or any deodorant.
