Step 1: Gently Scrape

First, use a soft-bristled toothbrush or a dull knife to gently scrape any dried adhesive tape from the velvet. Take care not to rub too hard, as this could damage the fabric.

Step 2: Spot Clean With Club Soda

Next, mix together a solution of club soda and water and use this to spot clean the affected area. Soak a cloth in the solution and then gently blot the stained area until it is saturated. Let the cloth sit on the stain for a few minutes, and then blot dry with a clean cloth.

Step 3: Rinse With Cold Water

Once your velvet is spot cleaned, rinse the area with cold water and blot with a clean cloth. Do not rub the fabric; instead, press lightly to remove any excess liquid.

Step 4: Dry The Fabric

Finally, hang the velvet up and allow it to dry. Once it is completely dry, vacuum the fabric with a low-power setting.
