Any fur products, including mink coats, need special care. It is very important! In particular, the question of how to store a mink coat when it is not in use becomes relevant.

To keep the original look of the fur product, you need to follow some rules.

The first and most important of these is to store it in a place where sunlight cannot reach the fur. Otherwise, the item will fade and lose brightness.

It doesn't take much experience to know how to store a mink coat. It is enough to know only the key points that will help extend the life of the fur, maintain the original gloss and luxury of the product.

So, the second rule: if you store a fur coat in a closet at home, then you need to hang it on wide coat hangers so that the product does not lose its shape. In this case, the ideal hanger will be one that is made of wood. It is worth considering that some models of fur coats require enough space in the closet, which means that they are strictly forbidden to hang close to other products. You can not oppress mink coats, otherwise they will lose their shape, the fur will stop shining and become darker (with blackwith fur, the opposite happens - it fades and brightens), the fibers may be broken.

The third rule concerns the use of special cases. If you decide to purchase them, then before you store the mink coat packed, you should pay attention to several aspects. First, any fur coat requires only a fabric cover.

Secondly, if the product is made of light fur, then the cover should be blue or black. This helps to reduce the possibility of damage to the product by ultraviolet rays. Thirdly, the quality of the cover must be high. It should not be painted in any case.

The fourth mandatory condition is that only dry fur is subject to storage. If the fur coat is wet, then the initial task is to dry it. You can properly dry it like this: shake the product and hang it in a well-ventilated place. No hair dryer! This will ruin the fur hopelessly.

Whether you choose a cover or choose to hang your coat without one, fur needs protection from moths.

So, before storing a mink coat for a long time, you should choose high-quality protection.

Lavender bags are the best option. Firstly, the smell of this flower repels any insects. Secondly, lavender, although it has a strong smell, easily disappears from the fur. Thirdly, it is necessary to change the antimol once every three months.

It is known that fur coats readily absorb odors, but are very reluctant to get rid of them. This also applies to spirits. Try to avoid getting themfur. Otherwise, there is a risk that in the end they will transform into very unpleasant odors, which are very difficult to remove. Once during the winter, you can and should air your coat in the cold (on the balcony, for example).

In the event that the fur product is to be stored for a very long time, you can purchase a special vacuum bag for clothes. Before storing a mink coat in it, it must be dried, aired, and the villi smoothed (only by hand, no comb). Then the product must be rolled up with fur inside and put into a vacuum bag. The advantage is that such a package makes it possible to keep the item in perfect condition.
