How to Maintain Velvet Slipcovers

[Image source: @more_fabrics Instagram]  Velvets are certainly one of our most delicate and agreeable slipcover fabrics , it's anything but difficult to go gaga for their delicate, glossy surface and that sparkle they provide for the love seat. I completely love the fleecy sentiment of velvets however they are increasingly inclined to wearing with overwhelming utilization and requires progressively fragile consideration.   Washing: Most synthetic velvets labelled as washable should not be machine washed. They are very delicate and should be hand washed gently in cold water with little soap flakes. Of course, with the advanced technology nowadays, there are washing machines that have a “hand-wash” cycle and are ideal for maintaining upholstery fabric though without guaranteeing the same gently as washing by hand. If your fabric is too heavy, it is recommended that you consult a professional cleaner.   Ironing and Drying: Never iron velvets to make them dry.
