Steps On How To Properly Clean Your Faux Fur Bedspread

By Jason Campbell


Faux furs or fake furs are kinds of materials which are made out of synthetic fibers. The design of these resembles a fur. These materials have been used commonly for clothing. Some other uses of these are also becoming very popular nowadays and this is because the promotion for animal rights have been increasing and as well as animal welfare organizations claim that the materials are animal friendly.

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 faux fur. Before you immediately wash the material, make sure to check its tag. Most of the items are being provided by the manufacturer with a tag wherein all the important specifications and instructions are written. Though it will depend on you whether you are going to follow those instructions or not, these will still include some important tips which you need to notice.

Some of the contents of the tag include whether the color fades out, if the procedures are the same as washing the colored items, and the instructions for washing. Standardized symbols are also written that would indicate how to care for that item. So therefore, the tags are so much useful to know what steps are to be done next.

Place the item inside the washing machine. Do not wash any other items together with the fur. If the material is part of a garment, be sure to turn it inside and out to avoid the material from being worn out. Be sure that you are setting the machine right. Use a cold water and set it into a delicate wash cycle. The machine will then be turned on. Add an average amount of a mild type of 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.

Spot cleaning technique may also be used. This technique can make the item last longer while maintaining its original texture. Mild detergent should be utilized when cleaning specific areas. Avoid on scrubbing too rough to avoid some damages. Rinse it using cold water then 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.
