Steps On The Proper Cleaning Of Faux Fur Bedspread

By Jason Campbell


Fake furs or faux furs are types of materials that are made from synthetic fibers and these are being designed for resembling a fur. The most common use of these materials is for clothing. The use of these has become more and more popular these days it is because of an increasing promotion of the animal rights and the animal welfare organizations who are claiming the materials as animal friendly clothing.

To clean these fake furs may be done through the use of many different ways including by the hands, by the washing machine, and by the dry cleaner. The three methods will depend upon the provided specifications on an item. But when you are not really sure on the specifications, it would be better to directly ask the manufacturer for the avoidance of damaging the material. The following are the 3 methods and their steps to clean the faux fur bedspread properly.

Machine wash the faux fur. Make sure that before you are going to wash the material immediately, better check the tag. Mostly, the manufacturers will be providing tags to the items from which the instructions and specifications are all written. It is really not necessary for those instructions to be followed but is still important for you to notice the important tips.

The contents of a tag would include about the washing instructions, if its color will fade out, or whether it would be fine to wash it the same as how colored items are washed. This may also contain some standardized symbols which will indicate how an item must be cared for. Therefore, a tag can be very useful for you to know what step you will do next.

Place your item in a washing machine. The fur must not be washed together with the other items. If part of the garment, it should be turned inside and out so that it will not be worn out or damaged. Check if the machine have the right settings. Using cold water is suggested and must set the machine to delicate wash cycle setting. Turn on your machine and add the mild laundry detergent.

You must also need to check if the machine has been to its least agitation for spin. After starting the rinse cycle, put a fabric softener and using cold water, rinse it. After the wash cycle, get the bedspread then shake it so that the excess water will be removed. Rolling the item into a thick towel may also help the water to be absorbed. Carefully pull the bedspread then slowly turn it into its original shape and dimension.

Hand wash the faux fur. See to it that right materials are being used in hand washing. A cold or a lukewarm water is suggested for use. With this, the shape and also the texture of furs will be maintained. A mild laundry soap must be used.

Another useful technique is spot cleaning. This technique can help the item to last longer and also maintain the original texture. Make use of mild detergent when cleaning the specific areas. When scrubbing, avoid on doing it too rough for avoiding some damage. Rinse with cold water and dry it.

Dry fake fur. Air drying is the best way to dry the item and not the electric dryer. Be sure to choose an area that is well ventilated. Placing it outside or adding a fan may be recommended to speed the process of drying.
