How to Care for Velvet Fabric: Cleaning Tips to Keep It Looking Great

Velvet fabric is also super soft and comfortable. This makes it ideal for furniture, pillows and clothes. In case, if you have velvet items in your house, you need to care for velvet items properly to keep them looking good for a longer time. Here are a few tips about how to take care of velvet fabric so it continues looking both clean and beautiful.

Gentle Methods of Cleaning Velvet Fabric:

Cleaning velvet fabric requires you to be gentle. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing violently, as it could damage the soft fibers. Instead, combine some undoubtedly mild soap with warm water. Blot the stain with a soft cloth. Do not scrub too hard, or you may damage the material. After the stain has cleared, blot excess moisture with a clean, dry cloth.

How to Care for Velvet Without Making Common Mistakes:

Something many people do wrong is to use too much water. Too much water can also harm velvet, so only use a small amount when you’re cleaning. Using the wrong cleaner is another mistake. Avoid harsh chemicals and use smother and the velvet safe cleaners instead. And avoid cleaning implements such as brushes or scrubbers that can damage the fabric.

How to Protect Your Velvet Fabric from Use and Abuse:

Treat it with care and keep your velvet fabric far from wear-outs. Long-term sitting or standing on your velvet furniture should be a no-no, as this can stretch and wear out the material more quickly. Avoid very sharp objects, such as keys or jewelry, that can catch in the fabric. If you have velvet outfits, avoid wearing them in rugged places. Plus, you may also want a velvet-safe protector to keep stains at bay and your items looking nice.

How to Shoot the Look of Velvet:

Velvet fabric gives the fancy look, but to keep it intact with the same fancy touch you need to get it cleaned and maintained. Dusting or vacuuming over your velvet items regularly can help remove dirt and dust. You can also lightly brush the fabric with a soft brush to restore a shine. If your velvet pieces end up wrinkled, you can use a steamer to smooth the fabric.

Keep that Velvet looking Fab — Just the Finer Things

In addition to cleaning it and helping care for it, some simple things can keep your velvet looking great. Try to rotate your velvet around so it wears evenly and doesn’t fade in one spot. For velvet furniture, use decorative pillows or throws on high-use areas for protection. To do this, store your velvet away from direct sunlight in a cool, dry area because the sunlight would make the fabric fade with time.

Velvet fabric care is simple to do in a nutshell. By following these easy tips, you can maintain your velvet items for years to come. Be gentle when cleaning, avoid common mistakes, protect your items from wear and tear, keep their luxe look and use basic strategies to keep them looking good. And treat it with a little care, and your velvet fabric will remain soft and cozy and beautiful for ages! We hope you found these tips to be helpful!
