Can fur be dry cleaned

Fur is a kind of precious clothing. Various kinds of fur are made from the fur of different animals. They have outstanding warmth-retaining properties and are deeply loved by people. However, fur is very expensive, several times the price of ordinary clothes, easily costing tens of thousands. Because fur is expensive, it cannot be washed like ordinary clothes. So, can fur be dry cleaned? Let’s take a closer look below.

Because the surface of fur fiber is composed of many scales, once it is washed in a washing machine, it will become felted, destroying its excellent performance and affecting its appearance. Therefore, fur is best dry-cleaned, but it can also be taken off and washed by hand.

You can use hanging spray washing, that is, hang the clothes at home and then rinse them with water. Do not rub them with your hands. You can only pinch all the clothes and soften them if they are not very dirty! Use a soft brush with soapy water to clean the places that cannot be softened!

You can't spin dry it, but you can hang it to dry automatically!

Use a professional silk and wool cleaner, which is specially used to wash wool fabrics and will not shrink after washing. Adding a little softener when dry cleaning fur (available at the detergent counter in stores) can make the clothes fluffier and softer.

1. Before cleaning the fur, shake it without damaging it to remove most of the dust.

2. Prepare powder crumbs. Powder crumbs is a general term, which can be: talcum powder, millet flour, wheat bran, yellow brown rice flour, corn flour and other things that we often come into contact with in life.

3. Use a spray bottle to wet the surface of the fur (do not make it too wet so that it is soaked), and apply the powder evenly and fully on the fur until the roots.

4. Rub the fur gently with your hands, and use more force on the obviously dirty areas. Add more powder as needed.

5. Repeat steps 3-4. Until the dirt is fully absorbed.

6. Hang it up to dry. Be careful not to expose it directly to the sun. Hang it in a ventilated place.

7. After it dries, shake off the powder or tap it gently with a bamboo stick.

8. The fur is cleaned.

Hair quality

The trick to checking the quality of fur is: First push the fur with your hands to see if it sheds. Generally, the better the fur is. Second, peel off the long hair and check whether there are dense short hairs on the leather. It is better if there are. Third grab: Grab the fur with your hands and feel whether it is soft. The softer the better.

Leather

If you are sure it is real fur, continue to pull apart the roots of the fur. Then you can see the animal's skin surface and see if it has irregular pores. If it is fake, it will have a mesh-like pores. This makes it very easy to distinguish the good from the bad.

work

The workmanship of fur is also a very important criterion for determining the quality of fur. When choosing fur, you should pay attention to whether the seams of each piece of fur are smooth and firm. The seams of good handmade fur are so fine that they leave no trace.

fit

When choosing the size of the fur, try to choose a looser one. A looser one will not only look noble, but also keep you warmer!
