Traditional Wash, Timeless Finish
🌿 The Traditional Washing Process at Ms Chikan Arts
Hey fashion lovers! Ever wondered how Ms Chikan Arts gives every Chikankari kurti its crisp, graceful look? Our secret lies in the age-old washing traditions of Lucknow’s famous Dhobi Ghat — where care, precision, and love come together to make each piece shine! 💧✨
1. Sorting with Care
Each kurti is sorted by color and fabric type to prevent color bleed and ensure perfect treatment. Our artisans gently prep every piece, checking for loose threads or delicate embroidery that needs extra protection.
2. The Gentle Wash
The kurtis are soaked in traditional tubs of water mixed with mild detergent. Skilled washermen hand-clean each one — carefully scrubbing without ever disturbing the fine Chikankari work. This authentic process keeps the fabric soft and fresh.
3. Rinse & Dry — The Natural Way
After washing, every kurti is rinsed in clean water multiple times to remove all detergent residue. We then sun-dry them naturally, preserving their color, feel, and texture. 🌞
4. Finishing Touches
Once dry, each piece is softly ironed to perfection — no harsh heat, just gentle care. Every kurti then goes through a final inspection to ensure it’s spotless and embroidery-perfect.
5. Ready to Shine ✨
From traditional washing to detailed finishing, every step at Ms Chikan Arts is done by hand and heart — ensuring your Chikankari kurti arrives soft, fresh, and ready to turn heads.
