Sarees - especially silk, georgette and heavily embellished or zari work - need careful handling. Here is what proper saree dry cleaning involves, what to confirm first, and how to compare brands on real reviews.
A frequent complaint in Indian laundry reviews is paying dry-clean rates for what turns out to be a normal wash and iron. Others report colour bleeding, zari or sequin damage, and stains that were not removed. Pick a brand with consistent reviews on delicate-fabric care.
Saree dry cleaning is priced per piece and varies with the fabric and amount of work (plain vs. heavy embellishment). Ask for the full price including taxes before booking.
Dry cleaning uses solvents suited to delicate fabric and embellishment; a normal wash can cause shrinkage, colour bleeding or zari damage. Confirm which process you are paying for.
Many stains can be reduced or removed with proper treatment, but silk is delicate and results vary. A good service will set realistic expectations first.
Tell the service about the embellishment in advance and ask how they handle it; reputable outlets use gentler, targeted methods for zari and sequins.
