How to clean mink fur

Mink fur refers to clothing mainly made from the fur of minks, and its price is definitely more expensive than ordinary clothes. However, like ordinary clothes, mink fur will definitely get dirty, and once it gets dirty, it will require cleaning. Because mink fur is expensive, many people must be very careful when cleaning it. So, how to wash mink fur? Let’s take a detailed look at it below.

You must be very careful when washing mink clothes, otherwise the life of the clothes will be greatly shortened. The following is the cleaning method summarized by the editor.

1. Do not wash in a washing machine. The strong tumbling of the washing machine will cause large-scale friction damage to the mink fur, making the mink fur fall off easily. Therefore, mink velvet cannot be washed in a washing machine. It is best to wash it by hand and wash the mink velvet gently.

For the same reason, mink wool cannot be dehydrated in a washing machine. Putting it in the dehydration barrel is equivalent to putting it in the washing barrel, causing the mink hair to fall off.

2. When washing, use special silk and wool detergent or neutral laundry detergent.

3. When drying, it needs to be laid flat and not hung. After washing, do not crumple it into a piece, but lay it flat and let it air dry along the direction of its hair.

In fact, it’s no big deal. Why wash it? Normally, mink fur doesn’t need to be washed. Just lightly flick off the dust. There is no problem not washing it for three to five years, so don’t wash it if you can.

The first point is correct cleaning: Long-haired mink velvet clothes are recommended to be hand washed, especially the first two times. If conditions permit, dry cleaning is recommended. After that, just hand wash. Remember not to machine wash.

Washing machines will damage the texture and material of mink sweaters and cause more hair loss. Also, do not use detergent powder or soap to clean alkaline materials. Generally, use laundry detergent.

You can either wash it with clean water, or use a special care agent to wash it (care agents are usually given away when you buy mink clothes online). After washing, do not hang it in direct sunlight. It is best to lay it flat and let it dry naturally.

The second point to pay attention to when matching clothes: You also need to be careful when matching mink sweaters with other clothes. It is recommended to match them with leather skirts, leather pants and other clothes with smoother surfaces. When wearing it alone, avoid matching it with a bag, and the metal part of the bag should not have severe friction with the mink sweater.

You don't need to wear it when the weather gets warmer, so you can fold it and put it in the closet, trying not to press it or hang it. When you wear it again next year, rinse it with clean water and dry it, then use a hair dryer to blow out the hair. If you have a care brush at home, brush it and then blow it.

The fur effect is the same as the new one.
