Reducing wrinkles and creases on
velour emboss curtain upholstery polyester velvet, including Holland velvet and French velvet, requires gentle care and proper handling. Hang the velvet curtains on a curtain rod or drapery pole and allow gravity to naturally pull out wrinkles and creases over time. Smooth out any visible wrinkles or creases with your hands, gently pulling the fabric taut along the length of the curtains.
For stubborn wrinkles, use your fingers to massage the fabric and encourage the wrinkles to loosen and relax.
Set your steam iron to the heat setting suitable for polyester velvet. Place a clean cotton cloth or a pressing cloth over the velvet curtains to protect the fabric from direct heat. Lightly press the iron over the cloth-covered velvet, moving in the direction of the pile to avoid flattening the fibers. Avoid applying too much pressure or leaving the iron in one spot for too long, as this can cause shiny patches or damage to the fabric.
Store the velvet curtains properly when not in use to prevent wrinkles and creases from forming. Fold the curtains loosely or roll them around a cylinder to minimize creasing. Avoid tightly compressing or folding the fabric, as this can to permanent creases. Store the curtains in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain their condition.
