..In
following these rules and the tenets of good common
sense,
..your
Fur should give you Satisfaction
and Joy for many, many years! |
| ..Caring |
 |
|
| |
|
Hang
the fur on a formed hanger when it is wet,
while ensuring that the storage area is airy,
and use a soft towel or cloth to remove excess
water; stroke gently with the nap; allow to
dry; then shake the garment vigorously.
|
|
| ..Cleaning |
 |
Professional cleaning by a furrier's method
only.
|
|
| ..Storage |
 |
Place the garment in your furrier's cold storage
vault over the summer months. Fur storage
means more than storage in a cold vault. It
means inspecting, brushing and cleaning them
before putting them away. It means protecting
them against moths, burglars and fire. Dryness
and heat sap the natural oils, cause hairs
to become brittle, to curl and lose their
luster. Furs should be cleaned and stored
every spring, even if they have not been worn.
Consider the dust that gathers on the floor
of your closet. That same dust permeates the
pelts of your furs.
|
|
| ..Repair |
 |
Repair any sign of damage immediately.
|
|
| .Avoid |
 |
Avoid
abusing the garment with unnecessary friction.
|
Avoid
shoulder bags.
|
Use
caution when climbing in and out of cars.
|
Exercise
caution with certain upholstery fabrics which
rub the fur, therefore possibly breaking off
guard hairs.
|
Give
the fur breathing space by avoiding covers
and bags that might suffocate it (without
circulating air, furs dry and the tips become
crushed, eventually breaking off).
|
|
| .Never |
 |
Never dry the garment on a radiator
|
In case of a spill, blot liquid with a terry
towel and take to your furrier as soon as
possible. Never use cleaning fluid or try
the cleaning process yourself.
|
Never apply perfume, directly to your fur.
|
Never pin anything on garment, such as flowers,
buttons, jewelry, etc.
