use delicates soap like stergene or persil silk and wool or NEUTRAL darks liquid  , cool water to warm if too sweaty/oily . Liquid is better because it leaves no marks , doesn't contain bleaching agents  and is quick to rinse

If you want to wash in a machine do on cool wash, quick wash with each dastar in a seperate laundry bag  , then shake out and hang dry .

p.s. never use Woolite it is the worst product for woolens silks and dastars

use very warm/not too hot soapy (soapnuts) water and wash in a clean basin/praat myself

and would never use a washing machine - ur putting ur crown in the same place as dirty pants and socks etc. even if washing separately, that just shows how much u think of it imo....

Vjkk vjkf how do you wash a dastaar? I don't want the colour to fade so how do I stop that as well?

Bai ji, first of all you should start buying dastars that don’t get faded.  We name it as “ guarantee wali pagg”, it comes in with “vimal” brand. I have used only these dastars since 2008, you can wash it, dry it anyway you want, these paggs literally don’t lose any color at all. You can wash dark blue new pagg with plain white shirt and it will not effect the white shirt.

( Since my all dastars are Guarantee wali, so i wash it in machine (45mins) with other clothes- without looking at woolen/soft/delicate/or heavy setting)

I always wash seperately after a washing machine cleaning ....you wash out the baata you use for other clothes in India to wash dastars ...same difference .

Before first use, soak dastaar in lukewarm water which has had salt added to it. Dishwasher salt works well.

In order to wash in washing machine, tie both ends of the dastaar separetely i.e. not together - this stops them getting tangled and you can wash more than one dastaar at a time. Use suitable washing powder. Never ever add fabric softner...it will be a nightmare to tie after. Also do not open the lengthways fold before washing.

Good qwaalty dastaar material doesn't fade much.

If you believe your washing machine is not sucham enough to wash dastaars, then please see your healthcare professional.

 

 

Gurbar Akaal!

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
