Maintenance:

 

Crushed fabrics are completely wrinkly free. It should be folded loosely and kept in the closet with proper care as tight folds and creases will flatten the fabric. It should not be directly ironed. In case of velvet fabrics, they can be machine washed, or a velvet board should be used while washing. This will protect the pile when the cloth is being ironed. Crushed silk fabrics should be dry cleaned. Scars and marks on crushed fabrics can be removed by brushing them slightly. If it is wet completely, then the cloth should be steamed or dry cleaned to revive the life of the pile.

 

Crushed fabrics are beautiful and luxurious and enhance the appearance of the wearer, or the interior of a place when used as upholsteries. Crushed appearance exhibits an aesthetic value and ensures prolonged usage. Some additional attention should be given to the care and maintenance of such fabrics.
