    1. General cleaning<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n

    Brush the wool-felt surface using a cloth brush to remove surface dirt or lint. You can also use a piece of white bread as an alternative to a cloth brush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Rub the bread over the felt to absorb any dirt stuck on the surface.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If the material requires thorough freshening, you may use an upholstery steamer and then brush the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n

    As much as it is possible to wash felt, it is also important to test it first. This is to ensure that the dye does not fade or bleed. You can do the test using a white cloth with plain water. If the white cloth gets stained, you should avoid washing the felt and only go for general cleaning. As early stated, felt is prone to shrink, which is important to ensure that you only use cold water. If there are areas that are dirtier than others, use a mild detergent and a soft brush (like an old toothbrush or nail brush). After washing the wool felt, do not place it in the drier. Instead, find a cool and dry location for the felt to air dry. Here is a video guide to help you understand the process better<\/p>\n\n\n\n
