At Home Care
We want to assure you that caring for your fur garments at home can be a stress-free experience. If you have central air conditioning and a windowless closet that provides ample storage space, you're already on the right track. Here are some friendly reminders to help you keep your fur garments in excellent condition:
-
Avoid Plastic Bags: It’s important not to store your fur garments in plastic bags, as they require air circulation to prevent odor buildup.
-
Use Wide Shoulder Hangers: To maintain the ideal shape of your fur's shoulder line, we recommend hanging your garments on wide shoulder hangers.
-
Mind the Sunlight: Avoid hanging your fur garments near windows. Sunlight can oxidize the fur, leading to discoloration. Sun damage is not limited to fur garments. Sunlight oxidizes everything, from your car to your patio furniture. Keeping your furs away from direct sunlight will help maintain their vibrancy.
-
Drying Wet Fur: If your fur garments become wet from outdoor elements, gently shake them out and allow them to air dry in a closet. It's crucial not to place them near any heat source, as the hides can shrink when wet. While furs need to be thoroughly soaked down to the leather for this to happen, it’s always wise to err on the side of caution.
-
Annual Professional Cleaning: Finally, we recommend having your garments professionally cleaned by Fur Cleaning Expert annually, ensuring they are ready for you when the colder months return.
