By Jason Campbell


Faux furs are synthetic fiber materials in which the purpose of production is for resembling the original fur. Clothing is the most common use for these materials. But aside from clothing, these have been used already for many different purposes which became very popular because there is already an increase in the promotion of animal rights. Some animal welfare organizations have also been claiming that these are using animal friendly materials for clothing.

To clean these fake furs may be done through the use of many different ways including by the hands, by the washing machine, and by the dry cleaner. The three methods will depend upon the provided specifications on an item. But when you are not really sure on the specifications, it would be better to directly ask the manufacturer for the avoidance of damaging the material. The following are the 3 methods and their steps to clean the faux fur bedspread properly.

Almost all items are placed with tags to let the owner know about the specifications and important instructions. It is not necessary that you must follow the given instructions but noticing the important tips would still be important.

Standardized symbols may sometimes be provided as well and these will indicate how the item is cared for. And therefore, having these tags can really help in knowing the next steps to do.

Put the item inside a washing machine. Avoid washing other items along with your fur. If this material is a part of garment, it must be turned inside out for avoiding it from being damaged or worn out. Better check as well if the machine is set right. A cold water must be used and the setting is delicate wash cycle. Turn on the machine then add an amount of mild laundry detergent.

Carefully pull it and turn it to original dimensions and shape to avoid damage.
