How To Maintain a Fur Coat

A fur coat is a luxurious and expensive garment that requires special care to keep it in good condition. Fur coats can last for decades if they are properly cared for, but they can also deteriorate quickly if they are neglected or mishandled. Here are some tips on how to care for your fur coat:

  • Store it properly. The best place to store your fur coat is in a cool, dry, dark, and well-ventilated closet. Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources, humidity, and mothballs. Hang your coat on a broad-shouldered hanger that supports its weight and shape. Do not cover it with plastic or other materials that can trap moisture and cause mold or mildew. If you live in a warm climate or plan to store your coat for a long time, consider using a professional fur storage service that can provide temperature and humidity-controlled facilities.

  • Storage
  • Clean it regularly. Fur coats need to be cleaned at least once a year by a professional fur cleaner who can remove dirt, dust, oils, and odors without damaging the fur or leather. Do not attempt to wash or dry-clean your fur coat at home, as this can ruin its texture and appearance. If you have a fresh stain on your fur coat, quickly dab it with a clean cloth. Use another clean, slightly damp cloth to gently blot the stain, and then allow to air-dry. Do not use stain remover or detergents on fur.
  • FUR CLEANING

    BEST FUR CLEANING

  • Brush it gently. Fur coats can become matted or tangled over time, especially if they are exposed to rain or snow. To restore the fluffiness and shine of your fur coat, use a soft-bristled brush or comb to gently brush it in the direction of the hair. Do not pull or tug on the fur, as this can cause shedding or breakage. Avoid brushing your fur coat when it is wet, as this can damage the leather.
  • Protect it from pests. Fur coats can attract moths, beetles, and other insects that can eat away at the fur and leather. To prevent this, inspect your coat regularly for signs of infestation, such as holes, larvae, or droppings. If you find any pests, take your coat to a professional fur cleaner immediately. You can also use cedar chips or lavender sachets to repel insects from your closet but do not place them directly on your fur coat.
  • Repair it promptly. Fur coats can develop tears, holes, rips, or loose seams over time due to wear and tear or accidents. If you notice any damage on your fur coat, take it to a professional furrier who can mend it using specialized techniques and materials. Do not try to fix your fur coat yourself with glue, tape, or sewing needles, as this can cause further damage and reduce its value.

By following these tips, you can keep your fur coat looking beautiful and elegant for years to come.
