Can I press this velour top?

I got a Denim and Company velour jacket but it came with some wrinkles. Can I press this?

@Another new name Sue This is one of those times when you need a steamer. I wouldn't be without mine. If your iron has a steamer function (burst of steam), use it up and down as if it were a Rowenta travel steamer, just pulling the fabric down as you hang it on a hanger and steaming the wrinkles out.

Press it wrong side out with a damp towel between iron and garment, iron on a low-medium setting. Velour is polyester and can melt if too hot but placing a slightly damp towel will serve as "steam" instead of using a steam iron and the towel can protect the garment from melting. Just be careful and decide if you have too much or too little heat. Another option is to throw it in the dryer for 2-3 minutes with a damp towel.

Not sure I'd do this....you could very well end up with fuzzies from the towel on the velour.

I would just wet it or run it through a rinse cycle and hang to dry.

Why would you end up with the fuzzies if you used Downy or such on the towel before it was washed or in the dryer. Doesn't everybody know about using Downy or such to prevent "fuzzies."

I would use a hand held steamer and put the top on a hanger and steam out the wrinkles.

i say inside out is your best bet.

If I use a towel on the inside, fuzzies can be shaken out or gotten with a sticky lint roller.

Yes they can, but I wouldn't want to go to that trouble, esp. after the trouble of trying to get the wrinkles out in the first place!

I would just turn it inside out and throw it in the dryer for around 10 minutes with a wet towel or washcloth. I use this method all the time but I also have (and love) my professional steamer that DH surprised me with a few years back.

I put in the dryer on permanent press with a damp towel (pink, the jacket is red) for about 3-4 minutes. Slight wrinkle on a sleeve, but it's vastly improved, and I don't want to leave it in the dryer any longer. It looks so much better, the dryer even fluffed up the velour a bit. I'm looking forward to wearing it tonight! Thanks again, and best holiday wishes to each of you.

P.S. Christmas Day is often warm in CA, but this year it is cool, so I'm looking forward to wearing the jacket.

That wasn't the "trouble." The using the sticky link roller is. <rolleyes>

I washed a black velour top from D&C yesterday. Then I put it in the dryer for 10 minutes, hung it on a hanger damp, this morning it looks brand new. I have a steamer, but didn't need it.

I would steam it. If you don't have a steamer then let it hang in the bathroom or laundry room and see if that helps.
