Keep Your Winter Fur Looking Great

Life happens and you never know when your fur clothing is going to get dirty or stained. There are some tips that you can use to keep your garments looking good even after an encounter with some dirt or stains. It is too expensive to send off your real fur to get professionally cleaned every time your garment gets a little dirty, so here are some simple care tips.

• The first basic tip is to act fast so the stain does not set, which would make it much harder to clean. This fast action also allows you to get the stain out much easier.
• Blotting is typically much better for stain removal because it helps to prevent the stain from spreading. Rubbing the fur can cause the stain to spread, which creates a much bigger stain.
• Another fast technique is to shake your fur item briskly to remove the salt or dirt.
• If your fur gets wet in the rain, its not an issue, just shake out the excess moisture and let it dry at normal room temperature. Be sure to hang your coat on a plastic hanger and not in a garment bag to ensure proper air circulation. If the fur was completely soaked, you should take it to a fur professional.
• To avoid coat damage by rubbing or breaking your fur at the shoulder, avoid carrying purses or parcels with shoulder straps.
• One final tip is to have your fur cleaned and conditioned by a professional fur cleaner once a year to keep it looking great for years to come.

When your fur is well cared for, it will last a long time and will give you many years of winter warmth and enjoyment.
