How to Care for Your Real Fox Fur Blanket
A real fox fur blanket is one of the most luxurious investments you can make for your home. Unlike synthetic alternatives, genuine fox fur requires specific care to maintain its softness, luster, and longevity. Follow these expert tips to keep your fur blanket beautiful for decades.
**Storage**Always store your fox fur blanket in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated space. Avoid plastic bags — fur needs to breathe. Use a breathable cotton bag or simply lay it flat in a drawer. Never store fur in direct sunlight or near heat sources such as radiators, as this causes the pelts to dry out and crack.
**Cleaning**
Never machine wash or tumble dry a real fur blanket. If your blanket gets wet, shake it gently and hang it in a well-ventilated room to dry naturally. For spot cleaning, use a damp cloth and blot gently — never rub. For deep cleaning, always take your fur blanket to a professional fur cleaner.
Use a wide-tooth comb or a soft-bristle brush to gently comb through the fur in the direction of the hair. This keeps the fur fluffy, prevents matting, and restores its natural volume after storage.
**Avoiding Damage**
Keep fur away from perfume, hairspray, and makeup. The chemicals in these products can permanently damage the pelts. Also avoid sitting on your fur blanket for extended periods, as friction causes the fur to flatten over time.
**Professional Care**
We recommend having your fox fur blanket professionally cleaned and glazed once a year. A fur specialist will deep-clean, condition, and restore the natural oils in the pelts — keeping your blanket as beautiful as the day you bought it.
