If your favorite coat has become too small or too big in the chest or waist, you can try to revive it by changing the buttons. Every housewife can do this.

Is it possible to get rid of button marks on a coat?

Let's start with the fact that traces can appear for two different reasons:

• you re-stitched the buttons to another place, but the old ones still have puncture marks and dents;
• When ironing, you got carried away and didn’t notice how you ironed the place where the buttons are located. They imprinted on the fabric and left whitish marks on it.

Let's say right away: you can get rid of these marks, but you will have to try very hard so as not to completely ruin the thing. The fact is that the coat material is very susceptible to all kinds of manipulations with it. The villi very quickly “remember” the shape of the distortion and do not want to return to their proper place.Only start restoring your coat in a good mood and with a steady hand, then everything will definitely work out.

Methods for removing dents on coat fabric

The first and most common way is steam the fabric thoroughly. This can be done either using an iron with a steam function or a steamer. The steam lifts the caked lint, the dents are smoothed out, and the puncture holes are “hidden” in the lint.

As an additional resuscitation measure, you can use a clothes brush. With its help you can also fluff up the pile and hide unsightly environments.

Third option - use a small needle and manually adjust the threadAnd. This must be done with light movements, as if picking up individual fibers and lifting them.

Important! Never follow advice to use liquids such as ammonia or vinegar. You risk getting not only new stains on your clothes, but also bald spots. Also, do not use large abrasives such as pumice or grater. Always replace them with a textile brush.

To avoid damaging coat fabric at home, follow simple ironing rules things:

1. do not set high temperatures;
2. iron the material through a damp cloth or gauze or napkin;
3. Place a large soft towel under the product. This is necessary to smooth out all corners and soften hard surfaces. Then there will be no new traces left from the iron (strips from its sole);
