Many, if not all women, dream of a luxurious fur coat.

Thanks to modern technologies, the fair sex has a choice – to buy a product made of natural fur or to opt for an equally attractive option made of artificial materials.

But no matter what fur item we are talking about, its owner is often faced with an unpleasant discovery: sometimes the fur starts to turn yellow.

To decide whether it is worth spending effort on “reanimating” a fur coat, you should first find out the reason that led to the deterioration of the product.

1. Let's start with the most obvious: fur gets damaged when it gets wet in any way, be it snow or, for example, rain. That's why it is not recommended to clean your fur coat yourself - it is better to take it to a specialized institution.

2. Yellowing may also be due to dust accumulated on the fur if the item was stored incorrectly. Again, professional cleaning will help here.

3. Another problem that people often take to dry cleaners is the sebum and sweat secretions of the person who wore the fur coat.

4. And the fourth, last case, from which, unfortunately, there is no way out: the fur can turn yellow if the item has aged. In such a situation, there is nothing left to do but go to the store for a new item.
