2. Use mild detergent: Use a mild detergent to wash the saree. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals that can damage the fabric.
3. Soak: Soak the saree in cold water for 10-15 minutes before washing to loosen the dirt and stains.
4. Wash: Gently wash the saree by dipping it in the water and squeezing it lightly. Avoid rubbing the fabric as it may cause the threads to come loose or the fabric to tear.
5. Rinse: Rinse the saree thoroughly with cold water to remove all the soap residue.
6. Dry: Do not wring the saree. Instead, gently squeeze out the excess water and hang it on a clothesline to dry. Avoid direct sunlight as it may cause the color to fade.
7. Ironing: Iron the saree on a high heat setting while it is still slightly damp. This will make ironing easier and help to prevent any creases from forming.

It is important to note that cotton sarees can shrink if washed in hot water or dried in a dryer. To avoid this, always use cold water and air dry the saree.
By following these care instructions, you can keep your cotton sarees looking beautiful and new for a long time.
