How to clean a fur and mink hat at home, as well as a knitted hat with a fur pompon

The question of how to clean a mink cap, as well as any other fur hat, is relevant for modern women of fashion as never before. Over the past 15-20 years, fur hats have ceased to be faceless mink fur hats, and have acquired a variety of forms - caps, berets, bells, lush hats with long nap, boyars, fur capes, and colors - shades of brown, beige, gray, andfantasy colors: pink, blue, yellow.

In addition to fur products, knitted headdresses with fur pom-poms remain relevant for several seasons. They give the image a youth, freshness and spontaneity. So, in the sea of ​​a variety of headdresses, we find our "favorite" hat, a faithful companion in the frosty winter. But like any thing, it can get dirty, dusty and lose its charm. To restore her shine, you need to wash the fur hat or clean it in a special way - with the help of dry cleaning. You can do it at home.

How to clean the mink cap

Before cleaning the mink cap at home, determine the degree of contamination and, depending on it, select the appropriate method. For example, a stain( greasy or dirty) can be cleaned with soap foam. And to refresh the appearance, removing the dust deposit - through the absorbent. Let us consider both of these methods in more detail.

For the damp cleaning of a heavily soiled fur article, do the following:

1. Pour a liquid detergent into the pelvis to wash woolen or delicate things. Also suitable for this purpose is shampoo.
2. Direct a strong jet of water to the product, resulting in the formation of foam. She will need to wash the mink hat at home.
3. Wrap a three-liter jar with a towel so that the cap does not slide over the glass, and put a hat on it. You can also use a dummy, if available.
4. Take foam with a sponge and apply to the back of the fur. It is important that the dirt does not get wet - the lower layer of the skin. Then it will become stiff and can shrink.
5. Wash off any remaining foam with a sponge soaked in clean water.
6. Shake the head and leave to dry at room temperature.
7. Combine a completely dried hat with a brush with smooth, rare teeth.

Tip: To avoid damaging the skin, you can apply the cleaning solution to the headdress using a spray gun, and then wash it off with a sponge soaked in clean water.

For a refreshing appearance, you can dry clean at home using absorbent: talc, starch, hot bran, oat flakes, semolina ground in a blender. The principle of dry cleaning is that the absorbent absorbs the dirt, and then shakes out of the fur. Step by step it is done this way:

1. If bran is used, heat them in a frying pan, avoiding scorching. For other substances, heating is not required.
2. Apply the absorbent on a dry mink cap.
3. Walk on the surface of the headdress with rubbing movements.
4. Shake out the remains of absorbent.
5. If necessary, repeat the procedure several times.
6. The last time you should shake out the cap more carefully so that not a single particle of absorbent remains in the fur.

Advice: a knitted mink hat can be considered a separate species. Many of its owners bravely wipe this headgear by hand, and then dried, pulling on a mannequin or three-liter jar. However, manufacturers do not categorically recommend it! And the price of the error is too high. ..
