Wedding lehenga is very special for every girl. It is important to maintain its beauty and shine as it has heavy work and delicate fabric. If it is not stored properly, the work may darken and the fabric may get damaged. Let us learn easy tips to keep the lehenga looking new for a long time.
1. Get dry cleaned
After marriage, never store the lehenga without cleaning it. Sweat, makeup and dust can damage the fabric. Therefore, first get it professionally dry cleaned.
2. Avoid plastic covers
Many people keep the lehenga in a plastic bag, which is a big mistake. Moisture gets trapped in the plastic, which can cause the work to blacken and fungus to grow in the clothes. Instead use cotton or muslin bag.
3. Protect from moisture and sunlight
Keep the lehenga in a place where there is no moisture and no direct sunlight. Due to moisture the metal work gets oxidized and turns black. Keep silica gel packets or moisture absorbing pouches in the cupboard.
4. Fold correctly
Folding the lehenga repeatedly can lead to creases and the work getting broken. Fold it gently and place tissue paper in the middle so that the work does not rub together.
5. Apply air from time to time
Keeping the lehenga closed for a long time can cause bad smell and moisture. Every 2-3 months, take it out and apply light air. This will keep the clothes fresh.
6. Do not keep naphthalene balls
Many people keep naphthalene balls with clothes, but these can damage the fabric and work of the lehenga. Instead use camphor or lavender sachet.
Wedding lehenga is not just a cloth, but is associated with memories. By storing it properly, its shine and beauty remains intact for years. By adopting these easy tips you can keep your lehenga looking like new.
