How to clean dirty fur

Fur is a kind of precious clothing, which is mainly made of animal fur. It has the characteristics of warmth and beauty. However, fur is also very expensive, and a good piece of fur often costs thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars. Fur is just like ordinary clothes. It will get dirty if worn for a long time or accidentally. The cleaning process is definitely different from that of ordinary clothes. So, how to clean dirty fur? Let’s take a look at the methods below.

1. You can choose magnesium oxide powder and talcum powder and mix them together in equal proportions.

2. Lay the stained area on the mink coat flat, use a soft sponge to lightly apply the mixed powder, apply it evenly on the stain, and leave it for 24 hours.

3. Gently sweep away the powder on the coat, then hang up the coat, and then blow it clean with a professional air spray gun. Finally, clear the mink hair to remove stains on the mink coat.

Professional cleaning

It is more complicated to send a mink coat for cleaning. For young friends, it is recommended to send the mink coat to a professional cleaning agency for cleaning. In the industry, many brands of mink coats promise free professional cleaning, but in fact they are all sent to qualified dry cleaners for cleaning. There are special large machines for cleaning mink fur, and after cleaning, a special care solution will be sprayed on the mink fur to protect its luster. The prices for cleaning and maintaining mink coats are divided into different levels. There are differences between long and short versions, and between men's and women's versions. The prices for colored mink and solid-color mink are also different.

The mink coat you get back from the dry cleaner must be hung out to dry, but not exposed to the sun. Just let it air dry naturally in a cool place. Allow the coat to dry completely free of moisture before placing the coat in its dust cover for maintenance.

Mink coats cannot be washed with clean water

Because the raw material of luxurious mink coats is mink fur, mink is a small precious fur mammal of the order Carnivora, family Mustelidae, and genus Mustela. Mink fur contains a lot of protein, and laundry detergent or soap will erode the fur, causing it to lose its luster or become damaged. Therefore, mink coats cannot be cleaned like ordinary clothes. If the dirt is serious, we must send it to a fur cleaning shop and ask professionals to clean it for us.

The mink coat needs to be ironed after dry cleaning, and you must ensure that the mink skin is dry and there is no moisture in it. If there is water in your mink coat, the leather will likely become hard after ironing, and the mink coat will not be as good as before. However, we do not recommend ironing it yourself, because if you are not a professional and cannot control the temperature well, the leather board will shrink or even be damaged.
