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. Sponge the area from the back side of the fabric with a drycleaning solvent or a waterless hand cleaner and rinse with water. Apply detergent to the stain and launder, using the hottest water and bleach appropriate to the fabric. Most of these contain similar chemicals to those used in drycleaning solvents.
