Simple Ways On Cleaning The 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.

Materials are placed by the manufacturers with tags and consider these tags for the specifics and instructions. These are very important in order to avoid damaging the item. So here are the following three main ways of cleaning your faux fur bedspread and manage it in a proper way.

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.

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. Air drying must rather be done instead of using the electric dryer. Even if this is being set to no heat, the friction may still cause an item on tumbling around the dryer, thus creating heat and destroying the fibers. The area for drying must be very well ventilated such as outside the house or using an electric fan. Hang the garment properly with a hanger and properly remove all the 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.
