How to Store a Fur Coat

Proper storage of a fur coat is crucial to ensure that it retains its quality and longevity. Here are some steps you can take to store a fur coat properly:

  1. Avoid plastic bags: Fur coats need to breathe, so avoid storing them in plastic bags. Instead, use a breathable garment bag.
  2. Store in a cool, dry place: Avoid storing your fur coat in a place that is exposed to heat or moisture. A cool, dry place with good ventilation is ideal.
  3. Avoid direct sunlight: Sunlight can cause the fur to fade or discolor, so avoid storing your fur coat in direct sunlight.

  1. Clean the fur coat before storage

The first step to storing your fur coat properly is to ensure that it’s clean. Dirt, dust, and other debris can attract moths and other pests, which can cause damage to your fur coat. So before storing it, take it to a professional cleaner to have it cleaned and conditioned. A professional cleaner will remove any dirt or stains and apply a special conditioner to the fur, which will help prevent it from drying out.

  1. Use a breathable garment bag

Once your fur coat is clean and conditioned, it’s time to store it. Avoid storing your fur coat in plastic bags, as they can trap moisture and cause the fur to become musty. Instead, use a breathable garment bag that allows air to circulate. A good garment bag should be made of natural materials, such as cotton or linen, and should be large enough to accommodate your fur coat.

  1. Store the fur coat in a cool, dry place

The environment in which you store your fur coat is crucial. Avoid storing it in a place that’s exposed to heat or humidity, such as a basement or attic. Instead, store it in a cool, dry place with good ventilation, such as a closet. Ideally, the temperature should be between 45 and 55 degrees Fahrenheit, with a humidity level of 50 percent.

  1. Avoid direct sunlight

Sunlight can cause the fur to fade or discolor, so avoid storing your fur coat in direct sunlight. If you must store it in a room with windows, use curtains or blinds to block out the sunlight.

  1. Use a proper hanger

When hanging your fur coat, use a padded hanger that’s wide enough to support the shoulders. Avoid using wire hangers, as they can damage the fur. A good hanger should be made of sturdy material, such as wood or plastic, and should have a wide, contoured shape to mimic the shape of your shoulders.

  1. Don’t store anything on top of the fur coat

Avoid storing anything on top of your fur coat, as it can crush the fur and cause it to lose its shape. If you need to stack items on top of it, place a piece of cardboard or a plastic sheet between the items and the fur coat to protect it.

  1. Brush regularly

Brushing your fur coat regularly is essential to keep it looking its best. Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove any dirt or debris from the fur. Always brush in the direction of the fur, and avoid brushing too vigorously, as this can damage the fur.

  1. Protect against moths

Moths can be a major problem for fur coats, as they’re attracted to the natural fibers in the fur. To protect your fur coat against moths, place a few mothballs or cedar chips in the garment bag. Alternatively, you can use a moth-repellent spray, which is available at most home goods stores.

  1. Have it professionally cleaned and stored once a year

Finally, it’s important to have your fur coat professionally cleaned and stored once a year. A professional cleaner will remove any stains and help maintain the quality of the fur. They’ll also inspect the coat for any signs of damage, such as rips or tears, and make any necessary repairs. After cleaning, your fur coat will be stored in a temperature-controlled vault to protect it against damage.

In conclusion, proper storage is crucial to ensure the longevity of your fur coat. By following these tips, you can keep your fur coat looking its best for many years to come. Remember to clean it

Store your fur garments in cold storage when you are done wearing it for the season or not using it. This is one of the most important steps you can take in preserving your furs. There are no rules or set dates in regard to when furs should be stored. Whenever it is warm enough outside to be done wearing a fur coat for the season is when you should put it in storage. By the same token, when it is cold enough to justify wearing a fur (depending on your furs individual level of warmth) bring it home from storage. (Usually when it is cold enough to wear a winter jacket, it is time to put on your mink coat). The more time a fur is in cold storage, the longer it will last.
