30 Dec How to Wash a Fur Jacket (Part 2)

In the previous part, we talked about washing different types of fur jackets. We said that to remove stains, it’s enough to clean only the stained part with a spray of water and alcohol. Washing natural and artificial fur is different. We have said before that natural fur can’t be washed in a washing machine. But we explained in detail the tips for washing artificial fur in the washing machine. Washing natural and artificial fur is easy to do by hand, which must be done with the special methods mentioned in order to maintain its quality. In this section, we will talk about the storage conditions of natural fur, eliminating its bad smell and drying artificial fur.

Maintaining conditions of natural fur jacket

The storage conditions of natural fur are significant. Because the price of these products is very high, it isn’t possible to choose a suitable alternative for all types of fur clothes in a short period. Therefore, everyone should be aware of the maintenance method and proper use to use these extraordinarily luxurious and attractive clothes for a very long time wonderfully and stylishly.

Essential tips

• Always try to keep clothes with natural fur in a humid and dark environment. They may spoil if left in a moist and dark place for a long time. Staying away from sunlight can somehow damage furry clothes. To prevent problems, you can open the closet once in a while or put the clothes in the sun for a short time.
•  Avoid keeping fur clothes in scorching places because heat can reduce the life of clothes and damage natural fur. The most suitable option for storing fur coats is in very cool places.
• Don’t use deodorants under any circumstances. One of the properties of deodorants is that they can absorb moisture from the air, damaging the natural fur. So it’s wrong to use all kinds of fragrances in clothes that have natural fur.
• Always try to use special hangers. If you can hang the clothes in the closet correctly without wrinkles, you will minimize the possibility of damaging the natural fur. That’s why using the right hanger is so essential.
• Never use plastic covers for natural fur. The use of plastic covers causes moisture inside the clothes. Changing the room temperature and cooling and heating causes natural fur moisture absorption. Thus, always try to use fabric covers to maintain and increase the longevity and beauty of natural fur.
• Don’t matter if your clothes have natural or synthetic fur, don’t brush them after washing, as they can damage the fur.
• Using strong detergents is also wrong, so use a mild detergent and emollient. Use a solution or spray to remove minor stains formed on clothes or fur. Water and alcohol are the most suitable options.

Eliminate the bad smell

The easiest way to get rid of the smell of fur is to remove the garment from your fabric cover and let it breathe a little. You can also put a cup of coffee on the cover. In fact, over time, the coffee will absorb all the moss.

To do this, waiting about 24 hours is enough. If you don’t get the desired result, you must wait another 24 hours. After doing this for two or three days, remove the fur from the cover and place it on a suitable hanger to let some air in. Then, you can use the fabric cover again after two days.

Drying synthetic fur jacket

You can quickly dry artificial furs in the open air. Sometimes you can use a hairdryer, but we don’t recommend any dryer at all.

 The safest option for washing fur clothes is to leave them in the reputable laundry; because they have more materials and information about your fabric and can clean them more effectively.
