Tips for Maintaining & Handling of
Silk.
The customers who have purchased silk fabrics and sarees from KSIC are requested to take precautions and handle the silk as per the following instructions to maintain its luster and look.
 Never keep your silks in plastic
bags. They tend to trap moisture and spoil the silk and Zari. Always warp them
in clean, soft cloth. Avoid wool and paper.
Silk should best be dry-cleaned. At home you can wash them
with soft detergents. Soap nut boiled in water, yielding a soft lather is best
for silks.
For ironing you could take to the dry-cleaners for
steam-ironing. Never press the saree with a hot iron directly. Keep a
thin , white linen cloth on top while ironing.
For protection against cockroaches and other insects use any
mild repellent, instead of naphthalene balls.
Expose your Zari sarees to the sun once in a while
{twice in a year}
Change the folds of the saree frequently to avoid tell-take
marks. It can gather dust and even tear, if kept in one fold constantly.
Protect your sarees against dampness and moisture. But if
stained, rub a soft damp cloth on the satin gently and dry immediately.

dividing the sector into 7 sub sectors namely handloom, power loom, mill, silk,
cotton, wool & ready made garments. Special focus is on the capacity
