Cyclobasti Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 Evening fellow fur enthusiasts! The title actually says it all. How would I go about cleaning the silk lining of a fur coat? Is the fur itsself affected by it? Do I need to bring it to a professional fur cleaner? PS: Merry Christmas to everyone who reads this!
minkme Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 Merry Christmas. From what i understand, the lining is very hard to clean. Many times, it just need to be replaced because the furrier can not clean it. I am not sure if others here have the same story. This is what a furrier told me. Not that i have soiled one but this is what he has told me.
AKcoyote Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 I think minkme's answer is fairly accurate. Depending on the type of soil/stain and the type of lining fabric it *might* be possible to clean a lining. But that would at least require un-sewing the hem of the lining in order to be able to protect the leather side of the fur from the chemicals used. A good furrier can easily replace the lining and that in most cases is probably the best solution.
Furrymare Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 If it is just a light stain you can try clean it with a wet towel by simply rub on it. Dry it then with a hair dryer on cold level. Afterwards let the fur dry on a hanger turned inside out for a day or so. If have done so several times and it really worked to remove everything or at least to improve it.
Cyclobasti Posted December 26, 2016 Author Posted December 26, 2016 Thank you for the help, I think I will go with what minkme said. Thread can be closed
