Is velvet high-maintenance?

1 Answer
Is velvet high-maintenance?
Whether velvet is high-maintenance is a matter of opinion. To keep velvet upholstery clean, vacuum it regularly using a hose attachment. Soak up stains with absorbent cloths as soon as they happen and then treat stains with a product labeled as safe for velvet. Generally, synthetic velvet is more stain-resistant than pure cotton or silk velvet. Shop a range of velvet furniture on 1stDibs.
