Velvet

Our velvet items are made with high-quality polyester fibers that are known for their durability and softness. It combines the softness and luxurious appearance of velvet with the durability and affordability of polyester. It is made by weaving or knitting polyester fibers into a dense pile, creating a plush, velvety texture.

How to maintain velvet sofas?

1. Vacuum your velvet sofasregularly using a soft brush attachment to remove any dust, dirt, or debris that may accumulate on the surface. Avoid using a beater bar or any attachments that may damage the pile of the velvet.
2. If your velvet items have pressure marks or flattened areas, you can use a soft-bristled brush or a steam iron to restore the pile. Brush the affected area gently in the direction of the pile to restore its fluffy appearance, or use a steam iron on a low setting to lightly steam the area while brushing it with a soft brush. Avoid wetting the pile directly to prevent clumping.
3. Avoid exposing your velvet items to direct sunlight or heat sources, as this can cause fading or discoloration over time. Additionally, avoid placing sharp or pointed objects on the surface of the velvet, as this can damage the pile.

How to remove stains from velvet sofas?

1. Blot up spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub the stain, as this can cause it to spread.
2. For stubborn stains, you can use a specialized velvet cleaner designed specifically for use on velvet items. Always test any cleaning product on a small, inconspicuous area of the item before applying it to the entire surface.
3. After cleaning a stain, be sure to condition the velvet material to keep it soft and supple.

Please note that pressure marks may occur on velvet items due to the nature of the pile. The pile of velvet works by reflecting light in different directions, which gives it its characteristic soft look and sheen. Pressure marks occur when the pile is compressed in one direction, which causes the light to reflect differently and can create visible marks on the surface of the velvet. These marks often look more dire than they actually are and can be removed by steam ironing or brushing.

How to remove dirt marks from velvet sofas?

Please use lukewarm or room temperature water, add some dishwashing soap to it, and make sure to lather it (mix it until it produces foam). Then, use the lather that appeared from mixing the soap and water by putting some on a white piece of cloth or a sponge, and use that to gently wipe away the mark.

How to steam iron velvet sofas?

To steam iron the mark, you can either use a regular iron - most, if not all, nowadays have a steam iron function built-in. You can also use a hand steamer if you have one. Bring your appliance of choice relatively close to the mark on the sofa, and then gently steam the surface the mark is on. If you are worried, you can start steam ironing a bit further away from the mark at first and see how it works. Once the pile relaxes, we advise brushing the mark while steam ironing or waiting some time after finishing the steam ironing process and brushing through the mark with a brush with soft bristles again.
