Velour is a soft and plushy fabric. It’s like velvet and gives an elevated look to clothing and home décor. Made with unique properties, it’s important to care for velour and wash it properly. Purex® shares how to care for your velour fabrics and clothing to keep them looking brand new.
Known to be a softer fabric, it can be used for warmth and comfort but also style. Here are some common garments where velour can be used:
- Tracksuits and sweatsuits
- Dresses and skirts
- Tops and jackets
- Robes and loungewear
While it’s soft, it is a durable fabric making it great for home décor. Velour fabric is often used in chairs, ottomans, and pillows. It can make a space seem cozy and is comfortable to sit or lay on.
Some common accessories that are made with velour include handbags and headbands.
Before washing velour, turn the fabric inside out and separate your items by light and dark. To maintain this soft fabric, use cool water and the gentle cycle setting. Wash the fabric with Purex® liquid detergent or Purex® Pacs.
Let velour drip dry, not putting the soft fabric through the dryer.
