This guide applies to Cotton Mul Cotton Linen Cotton Blends

Step 1 Wash

Hand wash in cold water only
Use a mild, pH-neutral detergent
Wash printed pieces separately — colour can transfer to other fabrics
Spot clean wherever possible — less washing = longer life
Do not soak for extended periods
Do not machine wash
If hand-dyed: dry clean only — natural dyes will bleed in water

Step 2 Dry

Line dry in the shade, or lay flat to dry
Do not tumble dry — heat will shrink and damage natural fibres
Keep out of direct sunlight — it will fade the fabric over time

Step 3 Iron

Iron on the reverse side using medium to warm heat
Steaming is safe — especially recommended for linen pieces
For printed fabrics: always iron on the reverse, never directly on the print

Step 4 Store

Hang or fold depending on the garment's weight
Store away from direct sunlight — even indirect prolonged light causes fading
Avoid damp areas

Please note: Rooh Collective is not responsible for discolouration caused by sun exposure during storage or wear. Natural fabrics are sensitive to UV light — this is part of what makes them beautiful and alive.

This guide applies to Silk Taffeta Silk Modal Silk Blends Silk Organza

Silk is our most delicate fabric. These pieces need a little more love — but treated well, they'll last a lifetime.

Step 1 Wash

Dry clean is strongly recommended — it preserves the structure, sheen, and finish
If you must hand wash: use cold water only and a silk-safe detergent
Never machine wash
Never wring or twist — silk tears easily when wet

Step 2 Dry

Air dry in the shade after each wear
Do not tumble dry — heat destroys silk fibres
To remove excess water, lay on a clean dry towel and gently roll — do not wring
Never dry in direct sunlight

Step 3 Iron

Use light steam from a distance — do not press the iron directly onto the fabric
Do not iron — direct heat will damage the finish and structure of silk

Step 4 Store

Use padded hangers to preserve the shape of structured pieces
Fold with tissue paper to prevent creasing
Avoid cramped or overpacked storage — silk needs space to breathe
Store away from direct sunlight — silk yellows and fades quickly

Please note: Rooh Collective is not responsible for discolouration caused by sun exposure. Silk is particularly sensitive to UV light and should always be stored and dried away from direct sunlight.

This guide applies to Hand-Dyed Dresses Hand-Dyed Gowns Hand-Dyed Sets & Separates

Natural plant-based dyes are living colours. A small amount of colour change or gentle fading over time is completely normal — it's part of the artisanal process, not a fault. Each piece was dyed by hand and is unique.

Dresses & Gowns

Because of the intensity of the natural dye process used for full gowns and dresses, washing is not recommended.

Cleaning Spot Clean Only

Do not wash — neither by hand nor machine
Spot clean only when absolutely necessary using a damp cloth and cold water
Do not use detergent directly on dyed fabric

Finishing Steam Only

Use a garment steamer held at a distance — never touch the fabric with the iron plate
No dry iron — direct heat will damage the dye and fabric

Drying Air Only

Hang to air in a cool, shaded spot after wearing
Never in direct sunlight

Storage Store Carefully

Hang on a padded hanger in a cool, dark wardrobe
Avoid direct sunlight and heat — both will fade the dye
Do not store in plastic bags — fabric needs to breathe

Sets & Separates

Sets and separates can be gently hand washed, but extra care is needed to protect the dye.

Step 1 Wash

First wash: separately only — colour will bleed initially
Hand wash in cold water
Use a mild, pH-neutral or natural detergent
Do not soak, scrub, or wring — gently swish and rinse
Never machine wash

Step 2 Dry

Lay flat or hang to dry in the shade
Avoid direct sunlight — it will fade the dye
To remove excess water: gently roll the garment in a clean towel and press — do not wring

Step 3 Iron

Iron on the reverse side using low to medium heat
Use a pressing cloth over darker or dyed areas
Steaming is safe — avoid excessive steam to protect dye integrity

Step 4 Store

Store in a cool, dark wardrobe
Avoid direct sunlight and heat — both accelerate fading
Do not store in plastic — fabric needs air circulation

About colour bleed: A small amount of colour bleed during the first wash is completely normal with hand-dyed fabrics. This is not a manufacturing fault — it's the nature of natural plant-based dyes. Always wash separately until the water runs clear.

This guide applies to Printed Dresses Printed Gowns Printed Sets Printed Separates

Our prints are applied using artisanal techniques. Gentle care preserves the vibrancy and detail of the print for years. A small amount of colour bleed during the first wash is expected and reflects the handmade nature of our process.

Step 1 Wash

First wash: separately only — colour can transfer to other fabrics
Hand wash in cold water only
Use a natural or pH-neutral detergent
Do not soak, scrub, or wring — gently swish and rinse
Never machine wash

Step 2 Dry

Lay flat or hang to dry in the shade
Avoid direct sunlight — it will fade and crack printed surfaces over time
To remove excess water: gently roll in a clean dry towel and press — do not wring

Step 3 Iron

Always iron on the reverse side — never directly on the print
Use a pressing cloth over printed or darker areas
Use low to medium heat
Steaming is safe — avoid over-steaming to protect print quality

Step 4 Store

Hang or fold in a cool, dark wardrobe
Keep out of direct sunlight — UV exposure fades and degrades printed fabric faster than any other cause
Avoid damp or humid environments

About colour bleed: Some colour transfer during the first wash is expected and is not a manufacturing fault. It is a natural result of the artisanal printing process. Always wash your piece separately until the water runs fully clear.
