Troubleshooting
Faux leather appears creased
Hang the dress on a padded hanger in a steamy bathroom for a short period. Alternatively, use a cool iron on the reverse side, ensuring no direct heat touches the faux leather surface.
Dress feels stiff after cleaning
Ensure you have followed the specific care instructions. Faux leather can sometimes stiffen if exposed to harsh chemicals or excessive heat. Gentle conditioning treatments designed for faux leather may help restore flexibility, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Minor scuffs on the faux leather
Try gently wiping the scuff with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, a mild soap solution mixed with water may be used, followed by a clean damp cloth to rinse. Always pat dry immediately.
