The Three Main Methods On Cleaning Faux Fur Bedspread

By Douglas Patterson


A faux fur may also be called as a fake fur and this is a type of material which is often found in upholstery, some household projects, and clothing. There are many different ways of cleaning the item such as through machine washing, hand washing, and dry cleaning. But you need to make sure that you have chosen an appropriate way of cleaning, specifically done for a particular type.

Most manufacturers are putting tags which are being considered to provide the users important instructions and specifics. These are highly necessary for the avoidance of damages to an item. The following are the 3 main methods for proper cleaning a faux fur bedspread while managing it very well.

Machine washing. Make sure to check the tag first so that you will know how it is to be cleaned. Though it is only up to you whether you will follow it or not, but for sure, the provided instructions can help in making it last longer. Tags would include some important reminders like separating it from colored items.

Place the item in the machine and make sure that you have the right settings. As part of the garments, turn the item inside out in order to reduce the possibilities of wearing out. Place it very gently inside the machine. The setting must be in cold water and in delicate cycle. Use only a mild of laundry detergent like what is used for hand washing and apply a fabric softener.

After a wash cycle has stopped, directly remove the item. Shaking it can help to fluff it up for the removal of excess water. Another helpful way so that excess water can be removed faster is by rolling the fur into a thick towel. Once you have done this, pull it very careful to return into its original dimensions with no damages.

Hand washing. Appropriate materials and tools are very important for use with this process. The water to use must only be either lukewarm or cold. This helps the maintenance of faux fur in terms of shape and of texture. Apply only a mild laundry soap designed for a hand washing.

Using the spot cleaning method is recommended instead of submerging the entire garment to the water. This can help in making the garment last longer and so that the original texture can be maintained. Rub the laundry soap very gently unto the area using your fingers. Avoid rubbing too rough to avoid damages and rinse with cold water.

Drying. To air dry could be more preferred rather then using an electric dryer. Though the setting is no heat, an item may be caused to tumble around dryer due to friction, and thus, heat is created and fibers can be destroyed. Make sure to consider importantly well ventilation in the drying area or by the use of electric fan. Properly hang the material using a hanger and remove properly all excess water.

Dry cleansing. This could one of the safest options you can prefer. Dry cleaners contain all of the needed and proper supplies and they are more knowledgeable when it comes to this type of fabric. Thus, cleaning can be done more effectively. Be sure to choose a reputable one who knows how to handle with care.
