Cloth Care - Rang Preet

Caring for Your Rang Preet

Every piece we make is crafted with care. A little attention goes a long way in keeping your garments as beautiful as the day you first wore them.

Do not dry clean

Hand wash cold

Turn your garment inside out before washing to protect the outer fabric and any surface embroidery or print.
Use cold water only. Hot water causes colours to run and fabric to shrink, especially in lawn and cotton suits.
Choose a gentle, pH-neutral detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach-based products entirely.
For embroidered or embellished pieces, hand wash only. Do not put them in a machine — even on a delicate cycle.
Do not soak for more than 10 minutes. Prolonged soaking weakens fabric fibres and dulls colour over time.
Rinse thoroughly with clean water until all soap is removed. Leftover detergent stiffens the fabric.
Do not wring. Gently press out excess water and lay flat or hang in shade to dry.

First wash tip — Wash dark-coloured garments separately for the first two washes to prevent colour transfer onto lighter pieces.

Always iron on the reverse side of the fabric to prevent shine or damage to the outer surface.
Use a pressing cloth between the iron and any embroidered, printed, or embellished area.
Set your iron to the temperature suited to your fabric type — low for silks and synthetics, medium for cotton and lawn.
Never iron directly over sequins, beads, or threadwork. The heat will melt or distort them permanently.
Steam can be used lightly for chiffon and georgette dupattas to remove creases without direct contact.
Store ironed garments immediately to avoid re-creasing before wear.

Heavy embroidered pieces should be folded and stored flat. Hanging causes the fabric to stretch and distort over time.

Wrap delicate or formal pieces in soft muslin or cotton cloth. Avoid plastic bags — they trap moisture and cause yellowing.

Store garments in a cool, dark place. Direct sunlight fades colours quickly, especially in bright or printed fabrics.

Take your stored pieces out every few months and let them breathe in open air for a few hours. This prevents musty odours.

Use natural cedar balls to keep insects away. Avoid mothballs — the chemicals can damage delicate fibres and leave a lasting smell.

Store dark and light garments separately, especially if any colour bleeding occurred during the first wash.

When in doubt — always refer to the care label on your garment. Our labels are your most accurate guide for that specific fabric and finish.

All Rang Preet garments include an individual care label with fabric-specific washing and handling instructions.
Colour variation between screens and the actual garment is natural. We recommend viewing in natural daylight before first wear.
Slight differences in embroidery or print placement are part of the handcrafted nature of our pieces — not a defect.
For any care-related questions, our team is available at care@rangpreet.com or via our contact page.
