How to Clean and Maintain EVA Cases Made with Flocked Fabric?

Flocked fabric has become a popular choice across industries thanks to its soft touch, luxurious appearance, moisture resistance, and durability. From home furniture to packaging and bags, this material combines functionality with elegance. In fact, flocked fabric is widely used for sofa upholstery and curtains in the furniture industry, for photo frames and artwork in the crafts industry, and for gift boxes, eyewear packaging, and document holders in the packaging sector. Within the bag and case industry, flocked fabric is often applied to wallets, handbags, cosmetic bags, and protective EVA cases.

However, as beautiful and practical as this material is, flocked fabric requires proper cleaning and maintenance to retain its texture and visual appeal. Below, we’ll walk through step-by-step methods to clean and care for EVA cases with flocked fabric.

1. Apply Soap Solution Gently

Mix a mild soap solution (1:8 ratio of soap to water) and spray a small amount onto the stained area of the flocked surface. Avoid soaking the entire case.

2. Use a Soft Brush for Cleaning

Gently scrub the stained area in circular motions with a soft-bristle brush. Avoid using hard brushes or applying too much force, as this may damage the flocked fibers and ruin the smooth texture.

3. Remove Foam and Residue Completely

Once the stain has been lifted, wipe away the foam with a clean dry cloth. Spray a little clean water on the area to rinse, then wipe dry again. Be sure to remove all soap residue—any leftover foam may cause discoloration over time.

4. Dry Carefully with Cold Air

Use a hair dryer set to cold air mode or place the case under natural sunlight. While drying, gently brush the fibers in their natural direction to keep them smooth and upright.

5. Prevent Mold During Storage

Make sure the flocked areas are completely dry before storing your EVA case. If stored while damp, the material may develop mold or weaken over time.

Why Proper Care Matters for Flocked Fabric EVA Cases

Flocked fabric brings a premium look and feel to various types of cases and bags. Whether used in luxury cosmetic cases, high-end tool packaging, camera bags, or retail display packaging, its soft velvet-like finish enhances both aesthetics and product protection. But without proper maintenance, this fabric can lose its shine and durability.

For procurement teams, regular cleaning guidelines can help extend the lifecycle of flocked packaging, reduce product returns, and improve customer satisfaction.

Final Thoughts

From wallets and handbags to EVA protective cases for electronics, tools, or cosmetics, flocked fabric adds elegance and protection to packaging solutions. By following the correct cleaning and care methods, businesses can preserve product value and enhance customer experience.
