Fabric Care

Velvets: Unfold fabric and wash with a phosphate-free detergent in cool water using a gentle or delicate machine cycle prior to use. Wash separately for best results. As these fabrics are surface printed, there is a chance of some fading (especially on darker colors.) Front loading washers are the worst offenders due to increased tumbling action during cleaning. Fading can be minimized through the use of cool water and gentle wash cycles. Our velvets tend to be wrinkle resistant, but if necessary, iron with a light touch on the unprinted side of the fabric using a synthetic setting only. Do be careful with the heat as higher iron temperatures may result in color transfer and, in extreme cases, melting of fabric.
