Fur is fairly durable, but there are things that you should know in order to properly care for fur products. Furs should be kept in cool temperatures, and not in heat. Avoid friction and chemicals on your fur pieces. Fur needs space, and to be cleaned – but, only by a fur professional.

Give it a good home. Be sure to store your fur in a closet that is not exposed to light or heat. Light will cause the color of your fur to fade, heat can cause a fur to dry out. Make sure it has room to breathe, and that it is not crushed by other garments.

If your fur gets wet, don’t panic. Most furs can handle snow and a light rain with ease. Shake it out and hang it to dry in a well ventilated room. Please resist the temptation to speed the drying process with a hairdryer or any heat sources. Remember that furs don’t like heat. After it dries, you can then shake it again. You may want to comb or brush it gently if the hairs seem a little bristly. If your fur has been soaked through, however, take it immediately to a furrier for proper treatment.
