How and how to clean silver fox fur at home

Modern fashionable women appreciate the fur of the black-brown fox not so much because it is able to warm in the cold winter, but because of its unique appearance and aesthetic appeal. True, only if you know how to clean a silver fox and properly care for it, you can expect that your favorite product will last at least 4-5 years.

Otherwise, after a few months or even weeks, the chic fur will acquire a yellowish tint or fade due to a layer of dust. The main rule is not to seek dry cleaning. If it is not possible to hand over the item to fur professionals, it is best to do everything yourself, at home.

Basic rules for the care of demanding material

Regardless of the fact that you have to look after the fur coat with a fur vest, hat or clutch, the care requirements are the same in all cases:

• Large items should not be worn for travel by public transport. And before you get into the car, the thing is better to take off.
• If wet snow has fallen on the fur, then immediately upon arrival at home (or going into the room), the product must be hung and straightened. Next, we take a special comb and give the villi the desired position.

Tip: It is strictly forbidden to use a hair dryer or other artificial heat sources to dry wet silver fox fur. From such an effect, it quickly turns yellow and loses its natural softness.

• When storing silver fox at home, you can not neglect the means of moths. It is better to use not spray guns that are applied directly to the fur, but plates.

In addition, fur items must be regularly cleaned. There are several options for exposure, all of them are effective and, following the rules, are safe.

Safe but effective methods for cleaning silver fox

To quickly and thoroughly clean a silver fox at home, you can use one of the following methods:

• Soapy water. We take a double piece of gauze, moisten it in a mild soap solution (from liquid soap or shampoo) and squeeze it carefully. We wind it on a brush for cleaning the fur and use it to process the product along the direction of the pile. After cleaning, we carry out a wet cotton swab or soft sponge over the treated area. It is necessary to ensure that moisture does not penetrate to the lower layer of the skin.
• Vinegar or alcohol. Wet a clean and soft sponge with undiluted medical alcohol, wring it out, use it to treat the surface of the product. First we work against the direction of the pile, then along the way. At home, this method is recommended to be used very carefully only when it noticeably dims or sticks together. With frequent cleaning, the fur can be overdried. Vinegar is used in exactly the same way.

• Gasoline and talc. The first component must be cleaned (they are charged with lighters). Knead the gruel from the two ingredients, apply it in a thin layer to the contaminated places and leave to dry. After that, comb out the mass with a brush. If the first races are scary to take risks, you can just sprinkle the problem areas with talcum powder and clean it after a few minutes.
• Hydrogen peroxide and ammonia. This method is used to eliminate yellowness, which often occurs on the white part of the pile. For 400 ml of water we take a tablespoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide and a teaspoon of ammonia. In the resulting product, we moisten the cotton pad and methodically process the entire product.

Drying processed silver fox products is best in the sun. This will speed up the process and provide an additional whitening effect.
