Can You Hand Wash Velvet?

RE: Can You Hand Wash Velvet? By redhatterb (244) Profile Contact If I remember right from when I was young real velvet also has to be ironed and that has to be done on the wrong side of the fabric and I think over a bath towel.

By (Guest Post) yes. but you have to brush the pile as it's drying, as the pile would stick together. brush gently. Posted on 03/21/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Can You Hand Wash Velvet?

By Jo Bodey (256) Contact Depends what its made of - some velvets are made with synthetic material that washes fine, others are cotton velvet that may end up with marks where the pile has settled in alternate directions. Does it have a label telling you what the fabric is? If you do decide to wash it hand wash, don't rub just swish around in the water and don't wring - drip dry on a flat rack. Regards Jo - who doesn't have any dry clean only clothes now - some of them say they are but they all go in the washer with everything else no problem!

This seems safer than trying to wash it. Posted on 01/14/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Can You Hand Wash Velvet? By Pat (Guest Post) I don't think I would wash velvet, but I have steamed it and then brushed with a clothes brush. Hope this helps Posted on 01/14/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Can You Hand Wash Velvet? By homeschoolin_mum (79) Profile Contact I have before. Of course I wash MOST things that are "dry clean only." Just make sure after wards, you use a soft cloth, like a washcloth and "brush" it! Posted on 01/13/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse
