Q: How to soften the stiffness in starched sarees?

A: It is always a pleasure to drape crisp cotton sarees to meetings and formal events when properly starched and ironed. However, the stiffness of starched sarees can make them rather unmanageable too. This is often the case with new cotton sarees or some fine silks such as garad or tussar. Here are some simple ways in which you can reduce the stiffness in your starched sarees.

1. If you want to soften the saree without removing the starch completely, then steam iron the saree. Remember to use the correct setting in your iron based on the saree fabric.

2. If you want to remove the starch completely, then soak the saree in cold water for 30 minutes. Then rinse, dry, and steam iron the saree to remove all traces of starch.

3. For heavily starched sarees, add half a cup of distilled white vinegar to a bucket of cold water and soak the saree in it for 30 minutes. Then rinse, dry, and steam iron the saree. It is now soft and starch-free!
