What is velvet?

• Velvet is made through a traditional weaving technique, giving the fabric a warm, deep colour and a soft surface with a dense pile and light, reflective shine.
• The velvet reflects light in a characteristic way, which may make the colour appear as if it changes.
• Small fibres may appear on velvet. It happens naturally and they disappear over time and can  also be removed with a garment roll.
• Pressmarks that may appear on the velvet usually disappear after some time. With your hand, you can gently stroke in the direction of the pile or use a clothes brush. You can also use the vacuum cleaner with the soft nozzle.

How to care for velvet

• To make sure that velvet maintains its look and feel, it needs to be cared for regularly according to the care instructions included with the product.
• For removable covers: iron the velvet cover on the reverse side at low temperature (110°C) before putting it on your sofa for the first time.
• Do not iron the velvet on the side with pile since it can damage the pile.
• Use a steamer to restore the fabric, or use the steam function on an iron without pressing directly onto the fabric.
• Wet marks should always be dried off as soon as possible to stop moisture penetration.
• Light stains can be removed with a sponge damped in water or a mild soapy solution.
• Remove dust with a lint remover.

For sofas and armchairs which have cushions with removable covers, but where another fabric is sewn to the edge, it is not recommended to wash the covers since the cover’s colour may appear different on different parts of the sofa.
