1. Gentle Spot Cleaning: Spot clean stains gently using a mild detergent and water. Avoid scrubbing to protect delicate fabrics and prints.
2. Hand Wash or Gentle Machine Wash:
- Velvet: Hand wash in cold water or dry clean. Avoid wringing or twisting to prevent damage to the pile.
- Cotton Hand Block Print: Wash separately in cold water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not soak to prevent color bleeding.
- Kashmiri Embroidered: Hand wash gently in cold water or dry clean to preserve intricate embroidery.
3. Avoid Bleach and Harsh Detergents: Use only mild detergents to protect fabric colors, textures, and embroidery details.
4. Dry in Shade: Air dry in a shaded area to prevent fading and preserve colors. Avoid direct sunlight, especially for printed and embroidered covers.
4. Iron with Care:
- Velvet: Avoid ironing directly; use steam or a low setting with a protective cloth over the fabric.
- Cotton Hand Block Print and Kashmiri Embroidery: Iron on the reverse side on low heat to protect prints and embroidery.
5. Store Properly: Fold neatly and store in a cool, dry place. For velvet, avoid stacking heavy items on top to prevent crushing the fabric’s pile.
These tips will help maintain the beauty, texture, and longevity of your cushion covers.
