wow
Did a flock suite years back where the little boy had used a permanent ice pen on the suite. Solvent was the only thing that could remove the ink, but it also damaged the pile, so suite a write off, wonder if this would have work on that flock suite?

Flocked (Velvet)

Description:

Flock velvet is made by binding very short pieces of fiber to the surface of a base fabric, (sometimes a taffeta).

The finished fabric looks similar to a woven velvet or velveteen.

Fibers used are either cotton or rayon, or nylon in erect pile fabrics.


Cleaning Characteristic:

Wet Clean.

Flocked velvet fabrics are set cleanable.

The adhesive used for fiber bonding is sometimes solvent soluble.

Therefore dry cleaning, especially with chlorinated solvents, should be avoided/

Otherwise fibers will be removed from the base fabric.


See how easily a ball point ink is removed "Non-Destructively"!
