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.

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. 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.

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. 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 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.
