How Can I Get Wrinkles Out of a Faux Fur Throw or Blanket?

A faux fur throw looks chic and feels fluffy in any room, but wrinkles can ruin its plush vibe. Whether you’ve just unwrapped a new fake fur blanket or your faux fur blanket has creases from having been left in the closet for too long, you need to know how to get rid of the wrinkles without damaging the delicate fibers. In this guide, we cover easy and useful techniques to remove wrinkles from your artificial fur blanket, to help restore its fluffy soft appearance.

Why Do Faux Fur Throws GetWrinkled?

There are a number of reasons why faux fur throws can get wrinkles, including:

Storage and packing — Faux-fur fibers can become flattened and wrinkled when pressed tightly together or folded for long periods.

Humidity and temperature changes — Swells of moisture or increased temperature change can cause fibers to lose shape.

Improper washing or drying — Excessive heat or rough handling while cleaning can cause creasing.

The first step to the right solution is understanding why wrinkles appear.

Wrinkles Out of a Faux Fur Throw

1. Use a Steamer

A handheld steamer is among the safest and most efficient options for removing wrinkles from a luxury faux fur blanket. Here’s how to do it:

• You can hang it on a clothesline or a hanger.
• Turn on the steamer at a low or medium heat setting.
• Keep the steamer a few inches from the fabric, steaming in short passes.
• If the animal’s coat is long and fluffy, the fibers need to be reshaped by gently brushing the fur with your hand or a soft-bristle brush.

Tip: Avoid putting the steamer directly against the faux fur, since synthetic fibers can be damaged by heat.

2. Without a steamer, a hair dryer and damp towel can do the trick:

• Place a large section of your fake fur blanket on a clean surface.
• Put a moist towel over the wrinkled parts.
• That puts your hair dryer on low heat, and blow over the towel for a few minutes.
• Take off the towel and delicately tousle the fur with your hands or a soft brush.
• You are instructed to hold the hair dryer 6 inches away from the blanket at all times to prevent overheating.
• Dry it in a humid climate.

3. Another easy way is to let the natural humidity do its thing:

• Drape the faux fur throw over the back of your knees while you steam in a hot bath.
• The steam will remove the creases with no direct heat.
• After ~15–20 min, shake out the blanket and hang dry.

Tip: Make sure the room is well-ventilated, so that excess moisture doesn’t remain in the fibers.

How to Avoid Getting Wrinkles in Faux Fur Throws
