How to Clean Synthetic Fabrics

Modacrylic

Modacrylic is a fiber often used in fake furs, fleece robes, blankets, stuffed toys, and wigs. It is resilient, soft, and warm, and it resists mildew, sunlight damage, and wrinkling.

  • Hand-wash delicate modacrylic items, such as wigs, and machine-wash sturdy items in warm water with a gentle cycle and a light-duty detergent. Use fabric softener to reduce static electricity.
  • Use a low-heat setting in the dryer, removing modacrylic articles as soon as the tumbling stops.
  • If pressing is needed, use a cool iron.
