Care Guide for Your Ethnic Wear
At Yadu Nandan Fashions (YNF), we believe that taking care of your ethnic wear is essential to maintain its vibrancy and longevity. Here’s how you can best care for our silk and cotton products to keep them looking their best for years to come.
1. General Care Tips
Storage: Store your garments in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Use breathable fabric bags (like muslin) to allow air circulation and prevent moisture buildup.
Avoid Hanging Heavy Garments: Avoid hanging heavy silk sarees as this may cause stretching. Instead, fold them with the zari side inwards to maintain their shape.
Keep Away from Perfumes & Sprays: Avoid direct contact with perfumes and deodorants to prevent fabric discoloration.
2. Silk Ethnic Wear Care
Silk garments, like sarees, salwar suits, and lehengas, require special attention due to their delicate nature.
Dry Clean Only: For the best results, always opt for professional dry cleaning, especially for heavy, embroidered, or zari silk garments.
Iron with Care: Use a low heat setting or steam iron your silk garments. Always iron on the reverse side to protect the fabric’s shine and design.
Folding & Storing: Fold silk sarees with tissue paper between layers to prevent color transfer and maintain the shine. Refold them every 3-4 months to avoid creases.
3. Cotton Ethnic Wear Care
Cotton fabrics are durable and breathable but still need the right care to preserve their softness and colors.
Washing Instructions: Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid using bleach as it can weaken the fabric and fade colors.
Drying: Air dry in a shaded area to prevent the colors from fading due to direct sunlight. Avoid wringing the fabric to keep its shape intact.
Ironing: Iron cotton garments when they are slightly damp for best results. Use a medium-heat setting and iron on the reverse side for embroidered or printed cotton garments.
4. Handling Stains
Immediate Action: If you spill something on your garment, blot it gently with a clean cloth. Avoid rubbing, as it may cause the stain to set.
Stain Removal: For minor stains, use a mild detergent solution. Test on an inconspicuous area before applying it to the stained part. For stubborn stains, seek professional dry cleaning services.
5. Special Tips for Embroidered Garments
Store Carefully: Place a soft cloth or tissue paper between folded layers to prevent damage to the embroidery or embellishments.
Avoid Friction: Be mindful when wearing accessories that may catch or rub against the embroidery work, as this could cause fraying.
6. Maintaining Zari and Embellishments
Dry Cleaning Only: Zari and other embellishments are delicate and require professional dry cleaning to maintain their shine.
Storage: Fold with the zari side inward to avoid oxidation and discoloration. You can also wrap the zari area in soft tissue paper for added protection.
Additional Care Recommendations
Regular Airing: Air your ethnic wear every few months to prevent any mildew or musty odors, especially if stored for long periods.
Anti-Moth Measures: Use naphthalene balls or cedarwood blocks in your wardrobe to protect your garments from moth damage.
By following these simple steps, you can ensure your YNF ethnic wear retains its elegance, color, and beauty, making it a cherished part of your wardrobe for years to come.

Care Guide for Your Artificial Jewelry
Artificial jewelry adds a touch of elegance and glamour to any outfit. To maintain its sparkle and beauty for years, it’s important to follow proper care and maintenance practices. Here’s how you can keep your Yadu Nandan Fashions (YNF) artificial jewelry looking stunning:
1. General Care Tips
Avoid Moisture: Moisture is the biggest enemy of artificial jewelry. Always store your pieces in a dry environment, away from water, humidity, and perfumes.
Last to Wear, First to Remove: When getting ready, put on your artificial jewelry last, after applying makeup, perfume, or hairspray. Remove them first when undressing to minimize exposure to chemicals.
Clean Regularly: Wipe your jewelry with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove any oils, dust, or residues that may dull the shine.
2. Storing Your Jewelry Properly
Use Airtight Containers: Store each piece in a separate airtight container or zip-lock bag to prevent tarnishing and reduce exposure to air and moisture.
Avoid Stacking: Do not stack jewelry pieces together as this can cause scratches, tangling, or damage to delicate stones and designs. Use small pouches or individual boxes for storage.
Silica Gel Packs: Place silica gel packs or anti-tarnish strips inside your jewelry box or storage area to absorb excess moisture and keep your pieces dry.
3. Cleaning Artificial Jewelry
Gentle Wipe-Down: For regular cleaning, gently wipe the jewelry with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove surface dirt and oils.
Mild Soap Solution: For a deeper clean, use a solution of mild soap and lukewarm water. Dip a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) into the solution and gently scrub the jewelry. Rinse with clean water and pat dry immediately with a soft cloth. Ensure that no water remains on the jewelry.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never use bleach, alcohol, or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the plating and stones.
4. Protecting Jewelry from Damage
Avoid Exposure to Perfumes & Lotions: Chemicals in perfumes, lotions, and hairsprays can cause artificial jewelry to tarnish or discolor. Always allow these products to dry completely before putting on your jewelry.
Remove Before Activities: Always remove artificial jewelry before swimming, exercising, cooking, or cleaning to avoid exposure to water, sweat, or harsh cleaning agents.
Mindful Handling: Avoid pulling or tugging on delicate parts like clasps or stones, as they can easily come loose or break.
5. Preventing Tarnish and Discoloration
Use Clear Nail Polish: For extra protection, coat the back of jewelry pieces (such as earrings and rings) with clear nail polish to reduce tarnishing and protect sensitive skin.
Minimize Contact with Water: Keep jewelry away from water, including when washing hands, bathing, or swimming, to prevent tarnishing and prolong the life of metal finishes.
6. Repair and Restoration Tips
Re-polishing: If your jewelry starts losing its shine, you can gently buff it with a soft, microfiber cloth to restore its luster.
Loose Stones: Check for loose stones or clasps regularly. If you notice any, it’s best to repair them promptly to prevent further damage. Consider consulting a professional jeweler for delicate or intricate pieces.
Additional Care Recommendations
Regular Inspections: Inspect your jewelry periodically for any signs of wear or damage. Early detection allows for easier repairs and maintenance.
Separate Storage for Different Metals: If you have jewelry pieces with different metal finishes, store them separately to prevent them from rubbing against each other and causing discoloration.
By following these simple care tips, you can keep your YNF artificial jewelry sparkling and beautiful for years. Proper care ensures that each piece remains a cherished accessory, enhancing your style and grace effortlessly.
