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.

Cleaning the fake furs can be done in several ways such as by hand, by a washing machine, or by a dry cleaner. These methods will highly be dependent on the specifications being provided on the item. If you are unsure of what you have read, you may ask directly the manufacturer to avoid some damages into the material. Here are the different methods and steps provided for cleaning a faux fur bedspread.

Mostly, the manufacturers will be providing tags to the items from which the instructions and specifications are all written. It is really not necessary for those instructions to be followed but is still important for you to notice the important tips.

The tag may contain these following contents, washing instructions, if the washing procedures are similar to colored items, or whether the colors are going to fade out. 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.
