Squeezing and twisting velvet is highly discouraged! Rubbing against each other or just using a rough washcloth is also not allowed.

Use only a mild detergent, which should have a gel consistency. That is, no powder materials.

How to iron velvet correctly

Velvet is ironed only from the wrong side.

For better protection from the effects of temperature and to obtain the result, iron the velvet through a damp cloth.

One end of the product is secured with a heavy object, and the other is held with your hand to smooth out all wrinkles.

Ironing velvet is easy if you have an ordinary iron with a steamer.

In the absence of one, an alternative method will help out: use steam over a boiling pan or kettle.

You only need to steam the wrong side and it is better to do it by weight.

How to get rid of creases in velvet

To smooth out and completely remove wrinkled folds on velvet, you need to use a compress technique.

To do this, lay out a blanket over a large area (usually on a table) to keep the heat in several layers.

Then the cotton sheet is soaked in clean hot water and spread over the blanket.

How to wash

Corduroy items must first be cleaned of dust using a brush.

Then rinse in cold water to which a few drops of ammonia have been added.

Then put the clothes in warm water with washing powder.

Corduroy products should not be rubbed or squeezed; they can easily become deformed.

When washing corduroy, it is necessary to use a special powder for delicate items.

After a corduroy item has been washed, it becomes necessary to dry the item carefully and safely.

Under no circumstances should you dry an item using a special mode in a washing machine.

In addition, it is impossible to dry the material on the radiator.
