Real fur is made of hair, and both water and heat can damage it. Faux fur is manufactured using synthetic fibers, so while water won’t damage it, heat still could.
Washing and Cleaning Of Faux Fur Fabrics
In contrast to real fur fabrics, it is possible to wash faux fur fabrics and garments, but you still shouldn’t do it more than necessary. With real fur, both water and heat will damage the product, but faux fur is made of synthetic fibers, so water doesn’t damage it, but the heat still does. Avoid using heat on your furs.
MACHINE WASHING
It is safe to wash your faux furs in the washing machine. However, you need to change a couple of things before just tossing your garment into the wash:
Turn the garment inside out! This helps reduce friction and agitation on your fur fabrics and it will help them last longer.
Wash the garment in cool or cold water settings with a gentle detergent. Remember, we want to remove heat from the process as much as possible. This also helps to prevent the faux fur piles from frizzing. And using a gentle detergent will keep the fibers from matting.
This also means no dryers! Period. Don’t even think about it. You’ll regret it if you dry your faux fur in a dryer, even on low heat. It doesn’t ever turn out well. Clumps and matts galore. And no amount of brushing will ever get them out.
With that said, air drying is a must! Hang your garment up somewhere dry and warm so it can dry out safely.
So in a shorter summary, when washing faux fur/garments, turn the garment inside out, machine wash with cold water and gentle detergent, then air dry.
SPOT-CLEANING
If you’re worried about the possibility of your machine ruining your faux fur or if your machine doesn’t have the above settings available, you can also use spot-cleaning to take care of stains on your garments! Spot-cleaning is great for exactly that—spots that need cleaning when the rest of the garment is fine otherwise, and it should be used as needed before going to machine washing.
To spot-clean your faux fur garment, you’ll need a washcloth, warm water (note: NOT HOT!) to soak the washcloth in and clean with, and gentle detergent. This method is more for general use and should be used as soon as possible after the stain is made to improve the chances of lifting the stain.
Take your washcloth and soak it in warm water and put a drop of the gentle detergent on a wet spot. Scrub the washcloth together first to agitate the soap—you don’t want to just drop detergent onto the garment. Use the soapy spot and, in small gentle circles, try to scrub out the stain. Only use more effort to scrub if there isn’t any improvement in lifting the stain. You want to avoid leaving any detergent residue if possible. Once you have lifted the stain, use a clean and still wet part of the washcloth and wipe at the area to remove any lingering detergent. Let it air dry and you’re all done!
