How To Care And Store Faux Fur?

faux fur's greatest danger

Unlike natural fur, artificial fur is completely immune to insects such as moths. It does not suffer from dry leather or hair loss. What threatens it the most is wear and tear! Friction is the worst enemy of faux fur.

The best advice is to never drive while wearing fur. In addition to being a danger to your safety, you signed the death warrant by seriously sticking your beautiful fur to the seat of your car.

Our advice also applies if you're wearing a fur-hooded jacket. Stuck on your back, the fur edges are repeatedly rubbed every time you sit, and while being squeezed, its lifespan is severely reduced.

The reflex adopted is to always leave its fur when you have to sit down. For example, where possible, you can still put it on your lap and enjoy its soft warmth. This advice alone can prevent 90% of fur wear symptoms.

The heat is also dangerous!

Another enemy to avoid: heat sources! In addition to being bad for your health, absolutely avoid smoking while wearing fur (it can burn you on your collar), and don't put it in the dryer anyway. Tumble dryers heat the drying air to such extremes that it can burn the tips of your hair, making them look decidedly unflattering, and making them lose all their softness and softness. Dryers are a real enemy of fur, even in cold conditions, as repeated rubbing on the surface of the drum can wear down the tips.

washing? controlled!

Remember, the only solutions that won't damage synthetic fur are dry cleaning by a professional and cold washing at home (same as wool). Since two precautions are better than one, again, never, ever dry. An air dryer will effectively dry your fur without damaging it.

Store, often forgotten!

Synthetic fur is worried about storing too tightly. So to avoid crushing your hair, leave the room if you hang your fur in your closet. If you must fold your fur trellis, don't press it too tightly.
