Fabric Innovation & Sustainability Reading Caring for Your October Hand-Painted Creations : Do’s & Don’ts 2 minutes Next 7 Fresh Ways to Drape Your Real Silver Saree This Festive Season

Every brushstroke on an October saree, scarf, shirt, or dress is unique. Hand-painting is an artform—alive, delicate, and deeply personal. With a little care, your piece will remain vibrant
and graceful for years to come.

Do’s
Gentle Hand Wash: Use cold water and mild, pH-neutral soap. Wash gently without
scrubbing the painted areas.
Dry in Shade: Always dry flat or on a hanger in indirect light to keep colors bright and
true.
Iron with Care: Iron on the reverse side, on low heat. Place a thin cotton cloth between
the iron and the fabric.
Store Thoughtfully: Wrap in muslin or soft cotton; keep away from dampness to
preserve both fabric and paint.


Don’ts
No Machine Wash: Machines can damage the painted surface and cause cracking.
No Harsh Chemicals: Avoid bleach, strong detergents, or stain removers—they strip
natural pigments.
No Soaking: Prolonged soaking can loosen delicate hand-painted work.
No Rubbing or Scrubbing: Treat paint areas as artwork—be gentle, always.

 

At October, we see care as part of the ritual. By treating your hand-painted piece tenderly, you allow the artwork to grow with you—aging beautifully, carrying memories, and remaining timeless.
