Fur is one of the most beautiful items of clothing or interior design, but also one of the most expensive. No one wants to part with them because of a small stain. Therefore, owners should know how to care for the item so that its service life lasts for several years. But it is important not only to clean fur items from dirt, but also to do it correctly so that all the pile remains in place.
Use proven methods
It is worth paying attention to the advice given. Various cleaning methods are described on the Internet. However, some of them not only do not cope with their task, but can also worsen the condition of the fur. It's better to study different sources. You also need to try the method on a fur item that you don’t mind, or on an inconspicuous area of the product. If the result is positive, you can begin cleaning.
Can't be washed
Natural fur should never be washed. This applies to machine and hand washing. After washing, it loses its presentable appearance and may fall out. The skin on which the lint rests will become rough and cracked. As a result, the item of clothing will be damaged. Prohibitions also include: ironing, drying with a hairdryer or in the sun, and staying near heated devices.
What not to clean
Cleaning natural fur with some means is strictly prohibited. They negatively affect its quality. Such harmful agents include:
- Household chemicals for rust removal.
- Chlorine-containing substances.
- Substances with aggressive components.
If a source assures that the cleaning method using the above means is effective, this is a hoax.
Combing out a fur product
Combing is carried out to maintain the direction of the pile. You need to be extremely careful in the process. Don't put too much pressure on the brush or make sudden movements, otherwise too much fur will come out. As a result, a “bald patch” will be visible on the item. It is also worth choosing a suitable brush. You can use special devices for combing animal hair.
Different furs - different cleaning
To properly clean fur, you need to know what kind of fur it is. Therefore, all varieties require special care. Some are not suitable for cleansing with ammonia, others cannot be wetted, etc.
Each product requires individual care. Therefore, following the advice, you can safely begin caring for your fur item.
