The raised yarn of jacquard easily can be damaged by shrinking, color bleeding or distortion if you use aggressive cleaning or harsh cleansers. Preconditioning and using less-abrasive methods of cleaning help keep jacquard fabric intact.
Things You Will Need
-
Remove any accumulated dirt or soil from jacquard pieces. Dust the surface lightly with a soft horsehair brush. Use a portable vacuum on a low-suction setting to remove any debris from upholstery. Light brushing is best for jacquard garments.
-
Precondition the fabric with dry foam or a thin layer of upholstery preconditioner before spot cleaning or stain removal.
-
Use a mild solvent to spot clean any stains. Lightly rub the stain with 1/2 a teaspoon of mild detergent and a damp cloth until the spot is clean on household fabric. Use a padded silk brush or wrap a handkerchief around a bristle brush when spot cleaning clothing. Allow the area to dry completely after cleaning.
-
Upkeep the maintenance of jacquard pieces with regular light brushing of the fabric to prevent future staining.
