Fur Accessory Care & Cleaning

Fur Accessory Care

• avoid using chemicals on or around  your fur, including perfume, hairspray and makeup – perfume contains alcohol, which can dry your pelts. Once a perfume gets into your fur- it will be there to stay
• shake out the fur accessory regularly
• attend to spills and stains as quickly as possible
• simply wiping the fur or leather with a damp cloth will remove most dirt or grime
• use a wire brush to maintain and restore the natural soft and fluffy appearance of fur
• when wet place your fur accessory in a well ventilated area away from heat sources and direct sunlight. It is extremely important to allow your fur garment to air dry naturally.

Please Note: If your fur accessory does require cleaning please take it to a professional fur specialist. Never attempt to submerge your fur in water or wash the item yourself

Storage

• fur accessories should be stored in cold, dark, well ventilated areas
• do not store in plastic packaging for any extended period of time as condensation may occur
•  avoid storing your fur near heat sources or direct sunlight, this will fade and damage your fur accessory
• do not store your fur accessory in a cedar closet or cedar chest
• the oils in the cedar will damage the fur and cedar will absorb the necessary moisture in the hide, leaving the fur dry
• do not expose your fur garment  to mothballs, they will react with the natural oils in your fur and damage your fur

Please Note: In the off season it doesn't hurt to send your fur to your local furrier for professional cold storage.
