To wash velvet, it is better to use cold water and mild detergent. Also, it is better to wash the velvet by hand so that the piles are not damaged.
. Velvet fabrics should always hang and not be folded. Folding causes wrinkles that are difficult to remove. Also, folding can cause damage to fabric piles.
To prevent dust from penetrating the fabric, you can cover it with a cotton cloth that can be easily washed. Also, for long-term storage, use a breathable and washable clothing cover. Do not use plastic covers in any way because moisture inside the cover damages the fabric fibers and also causes mold growth in moist areas.
