Troubleshooting
Faux leather has developed creases
Gently steam the affected area on a low setting, keeping the iron a distance away, or hang the garment in a steamy bathroom. Avoid direct, high heat.
Dress feels stiff after cleaning
Ensure you are using a mild cleaning agent and not over-wetting the material. Allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat. Some faux leather conditioners can restore suppleness, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Zipper is sticking
Gently work the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth, then try again.
