Cleaning Special Fabrics - Pile
Pile fabrics tend to stain more readily due to long
yarns. They may be cleaned satisfactorily at home with
dry powder cleaners, but test first. Wet cleaning of
velvets, etc. should be done professionally.
If protected with stain resistant finish, blot
quickly and gently with lint-free cloth. If stain
remains, spot clean, wiping the stain in the direction of
the pile. Brush lightly during drying to prevent matting.
If unprotected, pretest in an inconspicuous area for
discoloration or pile distortion. If color proves fast,
sponge lightly with appropriate cleaning agent.
