Fur Cleaning

Cleaning

A beautifully maintained fur or shearling garment is one that will be enjoyed for years to come. Professional cleaning gently removes dust, oils, and environmental impurities while helping preserve the natural beauty, softness, and integrity of the piece.

Professional Care

Annual care by a qualified fur and leather specialist is the single most important thing you can do for your garment — preventing premature deterioration and ensuring it retains its lustrous appearance year after year.

• Have your garment professionally inspected and cleaned at least once a year by a fur and leather specialist.
• Never dry clean or use commercial cleaning products or petroleum-based solvents.
• Remove or cover all accessories — belts, buckles, and metal hardware — before any cleaning.
• Always store on a broad-shouldered outerwear hanger — never a narrow or wire hanger.
• For seasonal storage, use a professional humidity and temperature controlled cold storage facility. If storing at home, keep in a cool, humidity controlled closet and never store in a plastic or synthetic garment bag.
• Après-Ski jackets: hand clean with a warm cloth and mild detergent, hang to air dry, and avoid commercial dryers and temperatures above 70°F. Remove all detachable fur, leather belts, and protect metal accessories before cleaning.
• Cashmere coats and accessories: entrust to a fine cleaner using a low temperature, petroleum-free process.

Day to Day Care

• Avoid cologne or perfume while wearing your garment — fragrance damages natural fur over time.
• Wear a light scarf underneath to protect from makeup and skin oils.
• If slightly wet, shake out gently and hang to dry naturally — never use a dryer or expose to heat above 70°F. If heavily soaked, bring immediately to a qualified fur specialist.
• For fresh stains, dab gently with a damp cloth in the direction of natural growth — never rub or scrub, as this causes matting.
• Smooth fur with your hand in the direction of natural growth — never use a brush or comb.
