Care Instructions — MAR Closet
At MAR Closet, we want your outfits to look as beautiful as the day you received them, wear after wear. Proper care makes a real difference — especially for prints, embroidery, and delicate fabrics. Please follow these simple guidelines to keep your MAR Closet pieces looking fresh for longer.
General Care Guidelines
- Always check the fabric type of your outfit before washing (see fabric-specific care below).
- Wash dark and printed colors separately for the first few washes to prevent color bleeding.
- Turn your outfit inside out before washing to protect prints, embroidery, and colors.
- Avoid soaking colored or printed fabrics for long periods.
- Use a mild detergent — avoid harsh bleach or strong chemical-based detergents.
- Always air dry in shade, away from direct sunlight, to prevent color fading.
- Iron on the reverse side of the fabric, especially for printed and embroidered pieces.
Fabric-Wise Care Instructions
🌸 Lawn (Printed / Embroidered)
- Hand wash preferred; if machine washing, use a gentle/delicate cycle with cold water.
- Do not wring or twist the fabric — gently squeeze out excess water.
- Iron on medium heat, inside out.
- Avoid direct sunlight while drying to protect print vibrancy.
🧵 Embroidered Pieces
- Hand wash gently, avoiding direct rubbing on embroidered areas.
- Do not scrub or brush embroidery/thread work directly.
- Do not wring — lay flat or hang to dry in shade.
- Iron from the inside/reverse side; avoid direct heat on embroidery, sequins, or handwork, as it may damage or melt delicate threads/embellishments.
- For heavily embellished pieces, dry cleaning is recommended over regular washing.
🤍 Cotton / Khaddar
- Machine or hand wash in cold to lukewarm water.
- Slight shrinkage is natural with cotton/khaddar fabrics — this is normal.
- Iron on medium-high heat while slightly damp for best results.
🎀 Chiffon / Silk-Based Fabrics
- Hand wash only, using cold water and mild detergent.
- Do not wring — gently press out water and hang to dry.
- Iron on low heat, or steam iron for best results.
- Dry cleaning recommended for best longevity.
🌙 Karandi / Winter Wear
- Dry clean recommended, especially for embroidered or heavier pieces.
- If hand washing, use cold water and mild detergent, and avoid excessive rubbing.
- Store folded rather than hung, to maintain shape.
Do's and Don'ts
Do:
- ✅ Read fabric care before the first wash
- ✅ Wash similar colors together
- ✅ Dry in shade
- ✅ Store clean and completely dry garments only
Don’t:
- ❌ Use bleach or harsh chemical detergents
- ❌ Wring or twist embroidered/delicate fabrics
- ❌ Dry in direct, harsh sunlight
- ❌ Iron directly over embroidery, sequins, or handwork
- ❌ Store damp clothing — this can cause mildew or fabric damage
Storage Tips
- Store outfits in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
- Fold embroidered and embellished pieces rather than hanging, to prevent stretching or damage to handwork.
- Use breathable garment bags for long-term storage rather than plastic covers, to let the fabric breathe.
