How to clean tapestry pillowcases

Tapestry products are a wonderful decoration for your bedroom or living room, be it curtains, bedspreads, paintings or pillowcases. These textiles are valuable due to their beauty, and dense, high-quality material. The tapestry manufacturing technology is quite complex, making it possible to create a texture with a simple or complex artistic pattern. This material has an elegant and sophisticated appearance, a variety of textures and patterns, strength, durability, the ability to retain color and prevent wear, as well as hypoallergenic properties, rigidity, and several care features.

Proper washing

Many housewives are concerned about the question of how to clean a tapestry so that it retains original look for a long time. To maintain the product’s shape and its pleasant appearance, you should care for the textiles correctly.

This material is quite dense, so when wet it becomes quite light. Since the pillowcases are small in size, it is best to wash them by hand. If there is no such desire, then you can wash the products in a machine on a delicate wash at a temperature not exceeding 35 degrees. For washing, it is better to use powder as a gel, squeezing this structure so as not to damage the fabric.

If even one thin thread on the pillowcase begins to unravel, the design will lose its relevance and the product will be damaged. Once again it is worth mentioning the temperature – it should not be high when washing. Otherwise, the tapestry throw pillow will be damaged: the fabric will fade, the threads will become thinner, and the product will lose its shape.

You should not wash tapestry pillowcases with other types of items, especially with fittings, locks, and hooks. These elements can damage the fabric structure.

Cleaning

In some cases, if the product is not very dirty, you can get by with dry cleaning. For this purpose, take a soft sponge or cloth; under no circumstances use rough brushes.

Grease or colored stains on pillowcases can be treated with a special stain remover. There is a sufficient variety of such products on the household chemicals market. Their positive property is that the product does not require a complete wash after treating the contaminated area. Before purchasing such a product, be sure to read the instructions, see what types of materials it can process, and whether it is suitable specifically for tapestry. Such information is always indicated on the packaging.

Tapestry pillowcase care instructions are not difficult, but it is worth remembering that contaminants such as plasticine, paints and chewing gum are almost impossible to remove from tapestry fabric.
