Despite the fact that experts do not recommend using a washing machine to clean a fur coat, the possibility of hand washing is still not excluded.

If you decide to rinse your fur coat at your own risk, keep in mind that you will need a large container with an unlimited supply of water – for example, a bathtub.

To protect the fur from tangling, you should stop using washing powder and use a gel-type detergent.

Place the fur coat in water and straighten it out. It will take about 10-15 minutes to soak the item.

Important: the water should not be cold or, conversely, too hot to avoid damage.

In addition, one must not forget about the prohibition of rubbing the fur and treating it with rough brushes.

If the dirt is very strong, use a soft cloth or a soft sponge and run it along the fur several times. The movements should be performed in one direction.

Use cold water for the final rinse. This will give the fur a shine.

The fur coat should be dried by hanging it on a hanger - the main thing is that the hanger is strong. And one more nuance - periodically comb the fur to give it shape.
