How to Hang a Fur

Wet Furs
If your fur gets wet, shake it out and hang it to dry in a well-ventilated room. Keep it away from direct heater or radiator, which can cause both fur and leaf her to dry out. After it is dry, shake it again. Most furs will take some rain and snow far better than wool or ether winter coat will. If the fur is soaked through, however take it immediately to your fur retailer for proper treatment. Never comb or brush the fur.
