How to clean velve
Step 1Brush the item with a clothing brush or lint-free cloth before treating. Brushing the velvet will remove dirt and lint, and loosen any mats in the fabric. This prepares the fabric for treatment and can remove caked-on dirt before spot cleaning.
Step 2
Vacuum velvet furniture with the brush attachment. The suction will remove any dirt and lint, and the brush attachment will loosen up mats in the fabric to prepare it for cleaning. Be gentle and don’t push too hard on the fabric as you can crush the pile.
Step 3
Mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda and ½ a cup of lemon juice to treat spots on furniture. You may need to add extra lemon juice to create more foam. You won’t be using any of the liquid portion of this mixture, so don’t worry about having excess liquid.
Step 4
Mix 1 tbsp delicate detergent and 2 cups of water to treat clothing and accessories. Make sure there are a lot of bubbles while you’re mixing. If you need to, you can add more water and detergent to create the foam.
Step 5
Skim the foam of the mixture with a lint-free cloth. Gently pick up some of the foam that was created by the mixture. You don’t need a large amount, just enough to cover the top of the cloth.
Step 6
Dab the foam onto to the spot using a lint-free cloth. You can remove excess foam with a dry area of the cloth. Let the area dry and brush it with the cloth or a clothing brush.
Step 7
Allow the item 3-5 hours to dry. Although the mixture might appear to dry quickly, give it some time to completely dry from the fabric and allow the pile of the velvet to return to its original form. Avoid using the item or piece of furniture during this time.
If the stain is still present, apply another coat and allow it to dry again, repeating until the stain is gone.
Step 8
Apply a protective coating to furniture or accessories to avoid new stains. You can find protective coating for velvet furniture at department stores, furniture stores, or online. Make sure you’re misting the item by spraying at least 6 inches away from the fabric, rather than saturating it with the spray.
Step 9
Check the label closely. The label will tell you most of the information that you need to know for cleaning your velvet item. It will also tell you what the velvet is made out of.
Step 10
Take pure velvet clothing to a dry cleaner. If you have an article of pure velvet clothing, the best way to get it cleaned is at the dry cleaner. They’ll be able to treat the clothing and are experts at the best methods for removing dirt and stains from delicate clothing.
Step 11
Wash crushed or polyester velvet in cold water with delicate detergent. If your item is a polyester blend or crushed velvet, it’s safe to wash in the washing machine. Make sure it’s on the cold water setting and use a delicate care detergent.
Step 12
Place your velvet in a mesh delicates bag or wash alone to prevent creasing. Other articles of clothing can press against your velvet items in the washer and cause creases or mats in the fabric. A mesh delicates bag can protect the clothing, or you can wash the piece of clothing by itself.
Step 13
Lay flat to dry. Velvet should never be put in a dryer. Find a clean, flat surface in a dry area to lay your piece of clothing on. It can take up to 12 hours for a piece of clothing to dry depending on the weight of the material, so be patient. Check on it after a few hours and flip the article over if you think it’s not drying evenly.
Step 14
Store your velvet items by hanging them in the closet or placing them in a dust cover. Keeping your velvet clothing upright and stored in your closet will help prevent creases and wrinkles. Make sure your other clothing isn’t pressing against the velvet and crushing the fabric.
Step 15
Use a steamer to remove wrinkles or creases.
Step 16
Hang the item on a strong hanger in the bathroom while you shower.
Step 17
Use an iron on the steam setting if you don’t have a steamer.
Step 18
Remove deep creases with a spare piece of velvet and an iron or steamer.
