Troubleshooting
Velvet pile appears flattened or matted.
This can happen with velvet. Gently brush the affected area with a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the pile. For stubborn areas, try steaming lightly and then brushing. Avoid sitting or placing heavy objects on the velvet for extended periods.
Color appears dull or faded after washing.
Ensure you are washing the set according to the care label's instructions, using cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, and excessive sun exposure during drying, as these can strip color.
Duvet cover doesn't fit the duvet insert properly (too loose or too tight).
Verify that your duvet insert is indeed a 'Double' size (200 x 200cm). Different manufacturers may have slight variations, but a significant mismatch indicates an incorrect size duvet insert.
Pillowcases are wrinkly after washing.
Remove pillowcases promptly from the washer and dryer. Tumble dry on low heat and remove while slightly damp, or air dry. A quick, low-heat iron on the polycotton reverse side can smooth out wrinkles.
Stains on the velvet surface.
Act quickly to blot (do not rub) the stain with a clean, damp cloth and a very mild soap solution. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first. For difficult stains, professional cleaning might be necessary.
