How to keep your velvet furniture fresh as a new one

1.Use a steamer to remove wrinkles or creases.

If your piece of chairs or other velvet item has a wrinkle or crease after unpacking, you can use a steamer on its low setting to remove the crease. Hold the steamer about 10 centimetres (3.9 in) away from the fabric and move the steamer in the direction of the nap.

2.Use an iron on the steam setting if you don’t have a steamer.

You can use an iron on the steam setting to remove wrinkles and creases. Like the steamer, you’ll hold the iron about 10 centimetres (3.9 in) away from the fabric and move the iron in the direction of the nap. Be careful not to touch the velvet with the iron.

3.Remove deep creases with a spare piece of velvet and an iron or steamer.

Place the spare velvet on the ironing board, pile side up. Then, place your velvet item pile side down on top of the spare velvet. Hover the steamer or iron on steamer setting over the top of the velvet for 15 seconds, repeating until the crease is removed.
