Q. I used an adhesive-backed product and want to now remove it. How do I do that?

Q. What products are suitable for fabric?

A. Our full line of sew on VELCRO® Brand fasteners are perfect for attachment to fabric. We do not recommend using the adhesive-backed products for fabric.

Q. How do I clean VELCRO® Brand fasteners?

A. Cleaning debris out of the hooks is similar to cleaning hairbrushes: using a stiff brush or another piece of hook are the best methods. It can take some doing – after all, the hooks in the tape are made to grab! The optimal solution is prevention: the hook portion should be covered at all times, so it does not grab onto anything it should not — like a blanket or your hair. Always engage the hook and loop before washing.
