Steps On How To Properly Clean Your 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.

Cleaning the fake furs can be done in several ways such as by hand, by a washing machine, or by a dry cleaner. These methods will highly be dependent on the specifications being provided on the item. If you are unsure of what you have read, you may ask directly the manufacturer to avoid some damages into the material. Here are the different methods and steps provided for cleaning a faux fur bedspread.

A faux fur that is machine washed. Before you wash immediately the material, you should better check and read what written on the tag. Almost all items are placed with tags to let the owner know about the specifications and important instructions. It is not necessary that you must follow the given instructions but noticing the important tips would still be important.

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.

And also, see to it that the setting of your machine is the least spin agitation. If the rinse cycle started, place a fabric softener and rinse it using cold water. And after the washing cycle, remove the bedspread, shake it for the removal of excess water. By rolling your item to a thick towel, the water may also be absorbed. Pull it carefully then turn it into the original dimension and shape for avoiding damage.

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.
