Fill the iron with water and use the steam setting.
Be sure to keep the iron face at least six inches away from the velvet.

Never allow the iron to touch the fabric, or it will leave a lasting impression.

The average cost to professionally clean a couch, for example, is around $150 to $200.
When you spill something on your velvet sofa, reach for dish soap.
Combine a few teaspoons with water until you get lots of suds.
