In order to ensure that the quality of the fabric or the work done on it does not decrease, the following steps can be taken to maintain it:

• Wrap the sari in a muslin cloth or soft cotton cloth
• Avoid washing or dry cleaning a silk sari as much as possible as it may deteriorate the yarns. However, if it must be washed, then a mild soapy solution should be used followed by a cold rinse
• Wet saris should not be dried in sunlight as it may lead to a faded look
