Difficulties in cleaning
Complex fluff structure: The fluff structure of velvet is easy to hide dirt, and stains may penetrate deep into the fluff, making it difficult to completely remove.
Easy to deform: Velvet fabrics are easily deformed due to friction or excessive soaking during the cleaning process, affecting the appearance and feel.
Fading risk: Velvet fabrics may fade when exposed to water or detergents, especially dark velvet.
Cleaning agent selection: Improper detergents may damage the fluff of velvet or cause the fabric to harden.
Cleaning suggestions
Daily cleaning:
Use a soft brush or the soft brush head of a vacuum cleaner to gently brush away surface dust regularly to avoid stain accumulation.
For minor stains, you can wipe gently with a clean damp cloth, but avoid over-wetting.
Local stain treatment:
For stubborn stains, you can use a mild detergent (such as neutral detergent or special velvet cleaner).
Dilute a small amount of detergent in water, dip a clean white cloth in a small amount of solution, and gently wipe the stain.
When wiping, follow the direction of the pile and avoid rubbing in the opposite direction to avoid damaging the pile.
Professional cleaning:
For large areas or serious stains, it is recommended to seek professional dry cleaning services to avoid damaging the fabric.
Choose an experienced dry cleaner and tell them the specific material of the fabric (such as natural velvet or artificial velvet).
Maintenance tips:
Avoid long-term exposure to direct sunlight to prevent fading.
Use anti-fouling spray regularly to enhance the fabric's ability to resist stains.
Place seat cushions or napkins on dining chairs to reduce the chance of direct contact between food and drinks and fabrics.
