Care of Your Fur Coat or Jacket at Home
Your fur is designed for active lifestyles and to be worn and enjoyed. These simple reminders will help you prevent some common problems which can unnecessarily weaken or damage your fur.

Loosen Up
Sitting down with your fur coat fully buttoned can exert extreme pressure on seams, pull pelts out of shape and break fur that is rubbed excessively (i.e. against car seats). Always undo at least the lower buttons before sitting down and unbutton your coat completely before entering the car.

Accessories
Try to avoid carrying purses or parcels with shoulder straps that can rub or break fur at the shoulder.

Dry Furs Carefully
Has your coat been wet by snow or sleet? This is not a problem as long as you dry it carefully. Excessive heat can dehydrate pelts, leaving the leather brittle and cracked. The proper way to dry a damp fur is to hang it in an open area with good ventilation. Never leave a wet fur in a closed closet.

Use A Proper Fur Hanger
Never hang a fur on a wire hanger. Use a properly shaped wood or plastic hanger.

Beware Of Excessive Heat
A hot radiator can singe your fur in seconds. Leaving fur exposed to a heating vent for even a short time can have the same effect. Singed fur curls and loses its luster and little can be done to bring it back.

Cosmetics
Make-up and even your skin oils can dull or stain fur. Avoid spraying perfumes or other cosmetics directly onto fur. A scarf, worn inside the neckline, can protect the collar of your coat from hair sprays, perspiration or hair and skin oils.

Shake It Out
Dirt and salts can fade and break fur. Between professional cleanings some dirt and sand can be shaken from your coat when the fur is dry. Hold the coat from inside the shoulders and shake it briskly. If your coat becomes stained never try to clean it yourself. Bring it to a fur cleaner.
