  1. Fur coats need to be stored in the right temperature and humidity levels at a home. Since that temperature is hard to set in the summers, it’s best to call a fur dealer who can store the coat with them during this time period. They keep the fur coat in a dark room with 45 degrees temperature and 50 degrees humidity. You can get it back during the winters then.

 

  1. Never give your fur coat to the dry cleaners. Only fur dealers can deal with the proper maintenance and cleaning of your fur coat.

 

  1. When you have the coat during the winters, do not hang it in a closet full of other clothes. The slightest rub or pull and easily break some strands of hair loose.

 

  1. Avoid perfumes, hairsprays and other strong chemical substances near the coat. These chemicals make the fur hair brittle and dry, which leads to fur loss.

 

  1. Always keep the fur dry. Avoid wearing it during the rain or snowstorm. You cannot use heat on a wet spot as it can damage the leather. Seek professional help if you have wet your coat.
