The fuzzy side of Velcro is called the "loop" side. It consists of soft, hook-free fibers that create a surface for the hooks on the counterpart side to attach to. This design allows for the easy fastening and unfastening of the two sides.

How do you clean the 'hook' side of Velcro?

I find that you can pick crud out of the male side of velcro with a pin- sort of rake through it and pull out the fuzz as it comes up off the surface. Female velcro (the softer side) can't really be cleaned and doesn't tend to pick up stuff. If you find that the female side no longer sticks to good clean male velcro, the female probably needs to be replaced.
