Care Guide
General Instructions:
Check Labels for Care Details: Inspect your garment's care label for specific instructions on the recommended cleaning process.
Handle with Care: Velvet is delicate; kindly handle it with care to avoid damage.
Cleaning:
Dust Regularly: Use a soft brush or a vacuum with a brush attachment to gently remove dust and debris from the surface.
Spot Clean: For minor stains, blot with a clean, dry cloth. Use a mixture of mild detergent and water, applying it gently with a soft cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this may damage the fibers.
Hand Washing: If necessary, hand wash in cold water using a gentle detergent. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric.
Dry Cleaning: For deeper cleaning or delicate velvet, professional dry cleaning is often the best option. Always check the care label first.
Drying:
Air Dry: After washing, lay the fabric flat on a clean towel to absorb excess water and let it air dry. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading.
Avoid Tumble Drying: Never use a dryer, as the heat can damage the delicate velvet fibers.
Ironing:
Steam Only: Use a steamer to remove wrinkles. Do not iron directly on the velvet. If ironing is required, place a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric and use the lowest heat setting.
Storage:
Cool, Dry Place: Store velvet in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
Use Breathable Covers: When storing, use breathable fabric covers instead of plastic to avoid moisture buildup.
Additional Tips:
Avoid Heavy Pressure: When sitting on velvet upholstery, avoid putting too much weight on one area for an extended period.
Check for Colorfastness: Test for colorfastness before applying any cleaning solution to avoid discoloration.
