What is velvet upholstery fabric?
With the weather turning colder, many people are looking for heavier fabrics to keep their homes and bodies warm. Velvet is a popular cold weather fabric as it’s both warm and fashionable in clothing and on drapes and furniture covers. However, unlike some warmer fabrics, velvet requires very particular care and attention to retain its beauty and shape.
Care for Velvet
Velvet can be a delicate fabric, so it’s important to treat it gently in case that it will experience issues that compromise its appearance and function. Velvet can flatten, become matted, pile, tuft, lose pile and shrink if you don’t care for it properly. Crushed velvet can lose its design and distort from wear and acetate velvets exposed to heat, pressure or moisture can flatten permanently, which ruins its beauty on clothing and furnishings. When it comes to knowing how to clean velvet home goods, the right cleaning products and tools are key. Here is a list of vetted options.- Vacuum with upholstery attachment
- Absorbent cloth or chamois
- Dish soap and water or an upholstery cleaner
- Home dry-cleaning product (for synthetic or wool-based velvets)
- Soft brush or velvet upholstery brush
