The fur of the silver-black fox is highly appreciated for its unique natural coloring: the thick pubescence combines several shades – from dark grey at the base to snow-white in the middle and black at the top. Silver-black fur looks noble, spectacular and attractive, but it is the white part that gets dirty the fastest when wearing, and the fur acquires a yellowish shade, and the product itself begins to look untidy.
If your favorite fur coat has lost its original appearance, but the fur has no strong visible contaminants, you can clean it yourself. To return the freshness of silver-black fox fur at home, you can use simple improvised means. When processing fur it is important to follow the recommendations of experts, and use only safe, time-tested methods of fur cleaning.
Basic rules of fur treatment
There are several ways to clean your furry products, but no matter which way you choose, you must first carefully comb the fur with a special brush or comb, carefully untangling the dumped pile. If you choose the wet method of fur treatment, the cleaning composition should not wet the fur and get on the leather base – otherwise the skin may shrink and deform. When dry, it is important to completely remove the cleaner from the pile by carefully combing the fur.
Before starting the treatment, test the effect of the cleaning agent on a visible area of the fur or on the mowed pile.
Dry cleaning of the chernoburk at home
Dry cleaning not only removes dirt, but also removes yellow pile. If the product has acquired an unsightly yellowish shade, use it to clean it:
- Shredded chalk or tooth powder. These cleaners are inexpensive, and their use is absolutely safe for fur. Apply the dry powder on the surface of the fur and gently rub it into the hair. After cleaning, completely remove the remaining absorbent, shake the product and brush it.
- Baby powder, talcum powder or potato starch. The cleaning method remains the same – apply absorbent to the hair, spread it over the surface of the product, rub and remove it with a gentle brush.
- Wheat bran or rice flour. Rice flour has a strong absorption capacity and helps to remove silver-black fox fur from the surface of the fatty dirt. When using cuts, they need to be preheated a little bit, and only after that start processing.
After cleaning the product should be dried in fresh air, avoiding direct sunlight.
