Methods of home cleaning beaver coats and their features

There are several ways to clean beaver fur at home. Subject to dosage requirements and specific handling of active components, all of them are considered safe and effective.

brushing a beaver coat

  • If there is no desire or need to treat the coat completely, for example, you need to clean local surface contamination, ammonia can be used. We dilute two parts of ammonia with one part of water, in the resulting solution we moisten a soft rag or towel without lint and wipe the stain with gentle movements. Then dry the area with a dry cloth and comb the fur.

Tip: After such exposure, the beaver fur may fade a little. To eliminate the negative effects, it is recommended to use medical glycerin. We put it on a cotton pad, which we process the problem area.

  • There is a great alternative to wet options for exposure to a beaver fur coat - hot sand treatment. It is perfect for both long and sheared fur. During your stay at sea, you need to collect some fine sand without impurities in the form of stones. At home, we rinse it again, dry it, you can even bake it in the oven. We spread the product on a dense horizontal surface, fasten all buttons, align. Pour an abundant layer of sand on top, distribute it by hand. We leave for several hours so that the grains of sand absorb all the dirt and grease. Then shake out the component and carefully comb the fur.

Some craftsmen manage to clean the item of clothing even with dry shampoo for cats. The method is quite controversial, but according to reviews it is quite effective and affordable.

Principles of working with fur of light shades

The listed methods are categorically not suitable if you need to clean the fur of white color or very light shades. But the problem will be solved if at home there is a little starch or semolina without impurities. You just need to pour the selected product on the stain, hold it there for at least an hour and remove. Unlike sand, such small particles will be reluctant to leave the fur coat, so in the end the product will have to be knocked out carefully.

Over time, the lightened fur of a beaver may acquire a yellowish tint. It can be cleaned with 3% hydrogen peroxide. To do this, apply the product on a cotton pad and treat the affected areas with yellowness. Rinse off the composition is not necessary, just dry the product and comb.

The proposed recommendations differ in that they do not have any side properties. They do not lead to the formation of lumps and bald patches, do not leave characteristic traces after themselves and can be used with such regularity as necessary. Only if none of the methods yields the desired result should you contact a fur specialist or a dry cleaner.
