We've put together some practical tips on velvet upholstery fabric to keep your velvet sofa in good shape:
1. Rotate the cushions regularly: This will prevent indentations from forming on the seams of the cushions.
2. Plump the mat regularly to maintain its shape and prevent creases and wrinkles from forming on the velvet head.
3. Avoid leaving household items on the sofa, such as remote controls, books, magazines, cups, laptops, etc. These items will leave traces after a period of time.
4. Brush your sofa weekly with a soft cloth brush (in the direction of the fabric fluff).
When cleaning velvet:
1. Remember to work in the direction of the fluff/fuzz when removing the marks (never against it).
2. Using a low suction setting and a padded attachment, use a soft brush or vacuum to remove dust.
3. Wipe lightly with a soft, non-fading cloth to remove spills. Never rub!
4. Work towards the leak center from the outside.
There may be darker and lighter lines on the velvet, or you may see some changes in texture over time. These marks are usually caused by pressure or squeezing and can be removed with little care.
For lighter marks, use a lighter clothes brush and brush in the direction of the nap. Heavier or more stubborn marks can be removed with a suede brush, using the rubber face and brushing lightly in the direction of the fuzz. A light spray of water to moisten the area will help loosen the fibers and make it easier to straighten with a gentle brushing.
