I've never heard velveteen described as "imitation velvet." Do you think of sateen as imitation satin?]]> Mon, 05 Apr 2010 18:34:51 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6216&PID=159512&title=velvet-chairs#159512 <![CDATA[Velvet chairs : Oh yeah.....I forgot, I also had...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6216&PID=159133&title=velvet-chairs#159133 Author: nightrider

Oh yeah.....I forgot, I also had over 30 panels of draps ( Blue velvet.....the real thing ) from the same reception hall that they wanted cleaned. They wern't stained or anything just dusty and smelled with cigarette smoke. Not wanting to invest in the dry cleaning, the owner just asked me to do my best for the smell and dust. I brought them to a laundry mat, shoved them into 15 dryers, sprayed Bano in the dryers, let them tumple for whatever 25 cents got me at the time. Took tem out folded them hot, put them in garbage bags brought them back hot as bread, hung them up.....sprayed more bano on them.....called the owners ( I knew the first thing they would do is smell them to cleanliness ) they smelled great.....they were happy.....I was happy.....I charged them a special price of  $ 500.00 for 3 hours work .
 
You never wash Velvet, buy a piece at a fabric store to find out why.

Thanks alot guys
 
Cool
 
If they turned out alright, then they were not ruined in the first place. Velvet is not a forgiving fabric. They must have been velveteen, an immatation velvet ( cotton / twill ) I used to make childrens wear back in the 70's and used Velveteen on my Christmas and Holiday line. YES Ted, they can be washed with Tide, as a matter of fact that is the best way to clean Velveteen on a budget ( beside dry cleaning, which doesn't make the fabric any nicer ) laundry soap is just fine.
 
I cleaned 1,200 Velveteen reception chairs with degreaser diluted 10 to 1, sprayed on the seat and buffed with a car polisher, I lined up 2 rows of 20 chairs facing each other with a 4 foot gap and cleaned 40 chairs every 30 minutes ( naturally I slowed down after about 300 chairs ) but at 2.50 /chair. I was very happy with my pocket money at the end of the day . CASH IS KING.

If you don't want to go to the dry cleaners, you can buy a product called Dryell... It works pretty well, and all you do is put the article in the Dryell bag and follow the directions....]]> Wed, 10 Mar 2010 02:31:11 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6216&PID=159130&title=velvet-chairs#159130 <![CDATA[Velvet chairs : HI FRIENDS,I use dry cleaning...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6216&PID=158343&title=velvet-chairs#158343 Author: paddy100

Always work the velvet in the direction of the nap rather than againstit. This includes vacuuming,brush agitation and extraction.

Initial Grooming – Immediately after cleaning each section, you shouldgroom the velvet in the direction of the nap. In other words, brush itdown. Do not try to brush against the nap while it is wet.

Dry the fabric completely.

Final Grooming – Once the fabric is dry, groom the pile against the napusing a Brass Velvet Brush. This will lift and separate the fibers andbring back the soft feel of the velvet.]]> Mon, 02 Nov 2009 05:02:24 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6216&PID=157527&title=velvet-chairs#157527 <![CDATA[Velvet chairs : Soil Lint Green wrote:Ted...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6216&PID=157215&title=velvet-chairs#157215 Author: Mr.Mike
