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.
