Saree Roll Polishing
Roll polishing that restores body, drape & lustre to limp sarees.
About saree roll polishing
Saree roll polishing is a specialist starch-and-roll-press treatment that restores the fall, body and drape of a saree that has gone limp with wear or age. We hand-inspect every saree, apply a fabric-appropriate starch (rice-based for cotton, gum-based for silk), hand-stretch it on a padded table, roll-press it under controlled pressure and hand-finish the zari through muslin — so your saree feels crisp and new again. Safe for Kanjivaram, Banarasi, Mysore silk, cotton, organza and bridal sarees. Every polished saree is returned tissue-folded and sealed in a Vestido Fabwash Studio protective cover. Often paired with our silk saree dry cleaning for a full restoration.
Who this service is for
- Sarees that have lost their crispness and drape with age
- Silk that feels limp after repeated dry cleaning

Every saree is inspected, roll polished and sealed individually — no bulk processing, no colour mixing.
How we deal with stains
Polishing restores finish and drape; it is not a stain treatment. Stained sarees are dry-cleaned first, then polished.
