This will flatten all furs and damage the pelt of natural fur garments. Always apply perfume, hair spray or body lotions in sufficient time to allow them to dry thoroughly before putting on a fur garment. The alcohol in these products will dry the leather and stiffen the guard hairs of natural fur, and could discolor or damage faux furs. Beware of anything that will cause friction against the fur, such as shoulder bags, handbags, abrasive upholstery fabrics or rubbing and stroking. Don't leave a fur near heat, especially if it is wet.
Air dry the garment in a location where air can circulate around it.
Furs should be hung on a padded, broad-shouldered hanger with plenty of room for air to circulate around it. Avoid crushing, and store the item in a fabric bag in a well ventilated closet. Excess light can cause natural fur to oxidize or change color. Regardless of whether an item is laundered at home or drycleaned at a commercial establishment, successful stain removal techniques are determined and used according to the type of stain. Move the towel each time some wax is removed until no more staining is evident.
