How to care for Viscose
Lightweight, breathable, and effortlessly elegant, viscose is a fabric known for its soft drape and luxurious feel. Often featured in flowing dresses, blouses, and tailored pieces, viscose requires special care to preserve its shape and texture. As a delicate fabric, it is dry clean only, ensuring that it maintains its smooth finish and rich color over time. In this care guide, we’ll share expert tips from our product development team on how to properly care for your viscose garments, helping them remain a timeless staple in your wardrobe for years to come.
Freshening
Viscose is a lightweight, breathable fabric with a luxurious drape, making it a staple in any wardrobe. To keep your viscose garments fresh, air them out after each wear by hanging them in a well-ventilated space, away from direct sunlight. This helps release any trapped moisture and odors without the need for frequent cleaning. Avoid excessive steam or heat, as this can weaken the fibers and alter the fabric’s natural texture.
Spot Cleaning
As viscose is dry clean only, it’s important to avoid washing it at home, as water can cause shrinking or distortion. If you need to remove a small stain, gently blot the area with a clean, dry cloth—never rub, as this can damage the delicate fibers. For thorough cleaning, always take your viscose garments to a trusted dry cleaner who understands how to care for delicate fabrics.
Storing
Proper storage helps maintain the shape and longevity of viscose garments. Always hang dresses, blouses, and structured pieces on padded hangers to prevent creasing. For items that need to be folded, use acid-free tissue paper to avoid fabric imprints. Store viscose pieces in a cool, dry place, ensuring they are not overcrowded to prevent wrinkling or misshaping.
