Can dirty fur be washed?

In the fur making process, nitrates are used to soften the protein in the leather to make it softer. However, since nitrates are very soluble in water, once washed at home, the fur can easily shrink and deform. Therefore, it is best to send the fur to a special place for cleaning.

How to identify the authenticity of fur

1. You can peel off the fur and look at the base inside. It is the same as the effect you see when you peel off human hair. It has pores and looks like it is growing out. 3-9 hairs can grow from one follicle. This is real fur. The base of fake fur is usually made of cloth, which is very obvious.

2. Generally, a piece of fur is made of several pieces of animal fur, not a whole piece. You can find the joint between two pieces of fur, and then compare the two pieces of fur to see the difference in color, length, and thickness of the fur. Artificial fur, on the other hand, is made of a whole piece of artificial fur without any joints.

3. You can pull out a few hairs and burn them. Real fur has the smell of burning animals. The ash ball can be easily twisted into powder without lumps or particles. Artificial fur is generally processed with chemical fiber. It will have a peculiar smell when burned. After burning, it will form a ball, and there will be granular lumps when twisted by hand.

How to clean fur at home

1. First check whether there is dust on the fur. If there is little dust, you can use a soft-bristled brush to gently brush it from top to bottom along the texture of the leather until it is clean.

2. If there is a lot of dust, use a warm, wet towel to wipe it from top to bottom along the leather texture. However, do not wipe too deep, otherwise it will damage the leather.

3. If there are stains on the fur, you can use neutral laundry detergent, drop a few drops into clean water, and then use a soft-bristled brush dipped in water to brush it gently.

4. Use a hair dryer to dry the fur, and then put the fur in a cool place to dry. Do not expose it to the sun.
