Wash: Pros and Cons

Everyone knows that a fur thing can be washed in a dry clean, but can you wash the fur in an ordinary home washing machine? The answer is yes, if it is artificial. This product is not created from real skins, but from simple synthetic fibers, so there's nothing to be afraid of. Nevertheless, we recommend that you read the information on the label confirming the possibility of machine washing before washing. As a rule, you can unconditionally wash fur from a jacket or down jacket, fur mittens and decor items( covers, rugs).Other things should have a special permit for washing.

To wash the fur, proceed as follows.

What can I do if the fur is natural? Unfortunately, it is impossible to wash products from animal skins, since wetting the skin leads to a change in the shape of the finished product. However, there are several effective ways of dry cleaning, eliminating yellowness and stains, which should be noted.

Method No. 1

Due to its excellent ability to absorb odors, grease and dirt, solids are often used to clean clothes of various types of contamination. To remove yellowness, manga and starch are also used as the most gentle absorbents.

1. Straighten the fur on a flat surface.
2. Sprinkle a dirty place with the selected substance - semolina or starch.
3. Moisten the surface of the fur with water to make it slightly damp.

4. Leave the appliance for a while until the lint is completely dry. Then shake the thing and comb the rump / starch with an ordinary brush.

Method number 2

Less sparing cleaning of white fur is wiping with peroxide and ammonia. To do this, prepare the following solution: a glass of water + a teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide + 2 or 3 drops of ammonia. The resulting liquid can be applied to the nap and for prevention, and to remove yellowness from polar fox clothing.

Tip

If the solution does not cope well with the yellow tint, try reducing the amount of water in the recipe.

Using peroxide and ammonia, it is important to remember that these substances are applied only to the nap, but not to the skin( skin), otherwise the fur coat may lose its original shape.

Method number 3

This method can be noted by the owners of white furs. To clean the white fur at home, you only need cleaned gasoline and ordinary sponge. Sponge should be soaked in gasoline, and then gently hold it over the surface of the thing. This rubbing reliably removes the yellowness, and this effect will increase if this method is supplemented with method No. 1: sprinkle the fur with starch, which will absorb an unpleasant odor and residues of contamination.

Clean collar

Some difficulties arise when cleaning the fur collar. It is not possible to wash the fur collar, as already mentioned above, except when the collar is part of the down jacket. For this item of clothing, only dry cleaning is suitable.

1. Before cleaning the collar, it must be unfastened from the thing.
2. Shake the collar, beat the dust out of it.

Washing in Belarus is widespread. It is ideal for cleaning a fur collar made from arctic fox, which has a unique silvery color. Simply dilute the blue in water until you get a light blue liquid and wipe your collar with a dampened sponge in the solution. This method perfectly eliminates yellow spots and darkness.

If the sand collar from the down jacket is rather small and narrow, then for him it is possible to make an exception and hold a wet wash, but not a machine wash, but a manual one. Take a normal shampoo and dilute it with water. Shake this liquid and sweep through the fur. Try to touch only the villi, but not the skin. After the foam has absorbed the dirt, rinse the collar with cold water, and then comb it and leave to dry at room temperature.

To boots with both natural and artificial fur for a long time kept a neat appearance, it is recommended to use ordinary soda: it is intensively rubbed into dry fur until it absorbs all the dirt. Sometimes for a complete cleansing, you need to do a few cleansing at a time.
