Fake Fur Coat Cleaning

[Jennykenny]

A friend gave me a great fake fur coat.
I love it, but it could do with a little 'refreshing'.
Do you think if I sprinkled talc over it and then gave it a good shaking, that would do?
Or any other suggestions?

If it is fake fur, you might be able to wash it. I used to wash mine at 30 degrees and it was fine. Is there a label inside that gives any indication of cleaning instructions?

Chanel5, interestingly it is reversible. So far haven't discovered any labels.
But thanks anyway.

Sherry
Have to admit I would be scared to wash it but I'll give it a go if things don't improve in the next few months.

I get the impression that it was rather expensive, and not something I can bung in a sink.
It is certainly beautifully made, and looks like something Joan Crawford might have slung over her shoulder. So will hold off on the washing bit for the moment. But thanks anyway.

Take it to a dry cleaners, they will give you advice.

[Jennykenny]

Yes Sherry, of course. Good thinking. Thanks.

Thanks MM, but haven't got a steamer. Maybe can ask around friends and borrow one.
