LZFUR Ultimate Fur Care Guide

ENGLISH VERSION

🧥 I. Daily Wear: Gentle Handling

  1. Avoid Moisture:
    • Rain/snow? Shake gently & air-dry away from heat (never hairdryers!).
    • Tip: Wear a hood over fur hats in heavy rain.
  2. Friction Zones:
    • Minimize rubbing against bags/seatbelts (causes shedding).
    • Rotate fur scarves if worn with rough-textured coats.
  3. Perfume & Makeup:
    • Apply perfume before wearing fur – alcohol damages leather.
    • Blot makeup stains immediately with microfiber cloth.

🛁 II. Cleaning: Less is More

  • Spot Cleaning Only:
    Stain TypeAction
    Dust/DirtBrush with fur comb (direction of hair)
    Water SpotsAir-dry → Shake residue off
    Oil/FoodPat with cornstarch → Brush after 1hr
  • Depth Cleaning Frequency:
    • Mink/Fox: Every 3-5 years (unless visibly soiled).
    • Why? Natural oils repel dirt; overwashing weakens leather.
  • NEVER:
    ❌ Washing machines
    ❌ Home dry-cleaning kits
    ❌ Harsh chemicals (bleach, vinegar)

☀️ III. Seasonal Storage: Save Your Fur

  1. Pre-Storage Prep:
    • Brush thoroughly → Air outdoors (shade, 30 mins) → Place in breathable cotton storage bag (we provide free with orders!).
  2. Ideal Conditions:
    • Temperature: 10–13°C (50–55°F)
    • Humidity: 45–55%
    • Light: Pitch-dark (sun fades color)
  3. Moth Prevention:
    • Use cedar blocks (replace yearly) – never mothballs (toxic & stinky).
    • Check every 2 months for pests.

❄️ IV. Winter-Specific Tips

  • Salt Stains (from snowy roads):
    1. Wipe with damp cloth (1:3 vinegar-water mix).
    2. Blot dry → Brush when damp.
  • Static Electricity:
    • Lightly mist with anti-static spray (for furs) before wear.

🛠 V. Professional Care

  • When to Seek Help:
    • Odors that persist after airing
    • Torn leather or missing hair patches
    • Reshaping flattened fur (e.g., hat crowns)
