Three Simple Methods For Cleaning A Faux Fur Bedspread

By Douglas Patterson


Fake fur can be referred as well to the term faux fur. This is a material type which is often being used for an upholstery, clothing, and some other household projects. There are three different methods which can be used for the cleaning process which include machine washing, dry cleaning, and hand washing. But be sure to have chosen one method which is appropriate for use in a particular type.

Mostly, manufacturers would be placing tags to items that have the contents of some important specifics or instructions. These would be highly necessary so that damages can be avoided. Here are the three very common methods often done for faux fur bedspread cleaning and management.

Machine washing. Be sure that you have first checked the tag to know the proper steps of cleaning it. However, you may or you may not follow the provided steps, but following these would still be better for it last much longer. The tags would contain some very important reminders such as it must be separated from the colored items.

Before placing an item inside the machine, be sure to check the proper settings. When the fur is only a part of a garment, it must be turned inside out for reducing the possibilities of being worn out. Place the material gently in a machine. And make sure the setting is in a delicate cycle with cold water. The laundry detergent should only be mild and as well the fabric softener, similar to hand washing.

Once the wash cycle will stop, remove directly an item. Shake it for fluffing it up and in order as well to remove the excess water. To be able to remove the water faster, you may absorb it through rolling the bedspread in the thick towel. After doing this, stretch it carefully again to bring back the dimensions without damaging it.

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.

The method of spot cleaning is considered as the best suggestion as alternative rather than washing with water the whole garment. Through this, the garment can last longer while maintaining original texture. Gently rub the laundry soap by the use of fingers. Rubbing too rough must be avoided to prevent damages. Rinse using cold water.

Drying. When drying, air dry method would be much better as alternative for using electric dryer. No heat may be set for electric dryer, but this may still cause tumbling a material around it because of friction which can destroy fibers and create heat. Well ventilation must be considered very importantly or make use of electric fan. Hanging the material should also be done properly and remove all excess water.

Dry cleaning. This is one safe option to be preferred. The dry cleaners have their appropriate and necessary supplies. They are also more knowledgeable about this fabric. And thus, an effective cleaning can be achieved. Reputable cleaners must be considered very importantly for handling the material properly with care.
