How Do You Store A Fur Coat?
• Keep your fur in a cool, dry, dark place when you’re not wearing it. A closet without a heat vent would be good. Freezing and thawing can damage it over time, so an unheated area would not be good. • Let your fur “breathe”. Leave room around it for air to circulate. This will let excess moisture from your body get away. • If your fur gets damp, shake it out and hang it to dry. If it gets soaked, take it to a fur shop for treatment. • Keep insects and rodents away from your fur. They may nibble it. Keep out or exterminate vermin if you have them. If it’s valuable, take it to a fur storage facility for refrigerated storage over the warm months. They will not only chill it to slow unavoidable deterioration over time but control the humidity to prevent mold growth. A cold air-conditioned space at home, or a refrigerator, generally has high humidity.
