Care Instructions for Velvet Fabric

Washing Tips

• Hand washing is safest to preserve the fabric's texture.
• If using a washing machine, place velvet items in a mesh laundry bag and use the delicate cycle with cold water.
• Turn velvet inside out before washing to reduce friction and prevent lint accumulation.
• Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach or fabric softeners, as they can damage the fibers.

Drying Tips

• Lay flat to dry to maintain the plush texture and prevent distortion.
• If using a dryer, select the "fluff" or "air dry" setting with no heat to help restore volume without crushing the fabric.
• Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric, as this can damage the pile.

Temperature Tips

• Always use cold water for colored velvet to prevent fading.
• Warm water can be used for items needing bacteria removal, but only if the fabric's care label allows it.
• Avoid excessive heat, as it can flatten the fabric’s signature texture.

Ironing Tips

• Never iron velvet, as direct heat can crush the pile and create permanent marks.
• If wrinkles appear, use a garment steamer at a safe distance to gently lift and refresh the fabric.
• Alternatively, hang the fabric in a steamy bathroom to help relax wrinkles naturally.
