In order to preserve the appearance of a fur outfit, you need to use the service of storing the product in a special refrigerator, where the required temperature and humidity in the room are maintained. A refrigerator for fur coats is a special chamber that provides optimal conditions for storing fur products in it. Air constantly circulates in the room, the required level of humidity is present, and optimal temperature and light conditions are maintained. Storing a fur coat in the refrigerator guarantees protection of the product from drying out, damage by insects, mechanical stress and ultraviolet radiation.
Refrigerators are equipped with special temperature regulators that produce continuous circulation of the atmosphere. After all, it is precisely for this reason that a fur coat that is in a hanging state does not change its appearance and structure, is rejuvenated and does not roll off. You can deposit a fur coat at any time of the year, but this service is in particular demand during the spring and summer seasons.
It is very important to store all white or light fur items in the refrigerator. This will help maintain the whiteness of the hair for many years and prevent the fur from turning yellow and losing its luxurious appearance.

Sell online
You can get rid of clothes using information on the Internet:
- social network;
- forum;
- "buy and sell" notice board.
To do this, you should photograph the product from several angles, indicate the size and length. Describe all the shortcomings and flaws (or demonstrate them in a photo), as well as the positive aspects. It will increase your chances of success if you photograph your fur coat on a mannequin. It’s much clearer this way, and at first glance you can see whether it’s a fur coat or a sheepskin coat, without even reading your ad.
When selling a product through websites and forums, make sure that it is visible from different angles in the photo. Take some close-up photos
This type of selling requires patience and attention. Potential buyers may have many questions, the answers to which do not always bring positive results. You will have to ask the price yourself, or after visiting an appraiser.
Important! You should be wary of scammers, so use only reliable sites.
It is possible to conduct a preliminary assessment via the Internet. It is approximate, but will allow you to feel more confident in the actual assessment and bidding.
A “mutual aid action” is also possible: you can exchange things you like, if you have any. After all, when you sell something unnecessary, it’s nice to receive something you’ve long wanted.
How much money you will get for a fur coat depends on the value of the fur, its safety and the quality of tailoring of the product

Not a fur coat, but a delicious meal! How to protect yourself from moths?
Eating a delicate fur coat is a lovely thing for the moth family. Her children are especially gluttonous. The worst thing is that moth-damaged fur cannot be restored. The fur coat will require either an expensive restoration or a complete replacement, which will hit your pocket even harder.
Of course, it’s good when there are no moths at home in principle, but this mosquito starts up unnoticed and eats very quickly, so it is better to take appropriate preventive measures in advance and protect your favorite things from the insatiable appetite of the larvae of these inconspicuous gray butterflies.
Sable fur does not like ultraviolet radiation, moisture and mustiness
Almost no one has been using mothballs for a long time: not only does its unpleasant smell take a long time to dissipate, but it is also harmful to health. There is no need to spoil your fur coat like that. Aerosols against pests are a good solution if you spray them only on the cover. It will be useful to treat the entire closet with this spray, having first removed all the things from it.
In the pockets of a fur coat (and other clothes) you need to put gauze bags with lavender or crushed citrus peels. This will keep the pests away from their appetite for a long time.
How to remove foreign odors from a fur coat yourself
Please note that the most suitable option is to go to a dry cleaner. However, if you decide to handle it yourself, then one of the main care recommendations is to isolate the product from specific aromas, since getting rid of them is quite problematic. Fur perfectly retains not only the smell of your favorite perfume, but also tobacco, exhaust gases, and gasoline.
Please note that perfume should only be applied to the lining of the fur coat, as it negatively affects the appearance of the fur. Over time, it may lose its aesthetic qualities - fade, become brittle and unattractive.
Air ventilation and cleaning the fur with regular medical talcum powder can help get rid of foreign odors.
- To do this, the product must be placed on a flat surface with the pile facing up.
- To combat stains, gently sprinkle a small amount of talcum powder. Its advantage also lies in the fact that moths are completely indifferent to it.
- Now shake the fur coat well and walk along the entire length with light, gentle pats.
Preventing moths
No cover can protect fur from moths with a 100% guarantee. Therefore, it will have to be treated with special means. Insecticides in the form of sprays are widely available on sale. On the packaging of such a product there are instructions for use, which indicate the frequency of processing. But on average, the cover’s impregnation will have to be renewed once every three months.
The question of how to store a fur coat from moths interests many owners of an expensive item. You will find all sorts of recommendations on various forums. Someone advises putting cedar bark in your pockets, the smell of which does not dissipate and moths really do not like. There is also an opinion that the best way to combat this scourge is dried geranium leaves, citrus peels or lavender.
But home remedies for combating voracious insects are inferior in terms of effectiveness to high-quality aerosols.
The use of naphthalene during storage is undesirable. Fur absorbs odors very well, as a result of which wearing such a thing will be uncomfortable. In addition, naphthalene is a carcinogenic substance that has long been banned for use in many European countries.
If the moth has finally reached the fur coat, it will be noticeable immediately. The pile will lie sloppily and bald spots will form in it. When shaking the item, pieces of wool that the moth has managed to damage will separate from it. And the larvae of this pest will be present in the folds.
If the presence of moths in a fur coat has become obvious, you should not hesitate, you need to act urgently.
The first step is to use a powerful insecticide. If everything is done in accordance with the instructions of the drug, within the next hour or two you can deal with the moth and prevent the insects from completely destroying the coat.
If moths are present, the fur is treated with an aerosol, put in a cover and left there for several days. If the cover does not close completely, the item is placed in a tight polyethylene bag and treated with the drug every day so that its effect does not weaken.
Hand over to a second-hand shop
It is better to use this method in winter or autumn. The product must be flawless and look almost perfect. The procedure for donating a fur coat can be done in two ways.
The first way is to sell:
- store;
- store (acts as an intermediary).
In the first option, an assessment occurs, as in an exchange. The goods are paid for, and then the consignment store sets its price.
Before selling a fur coat, make sure the product is in proper condition.
In the second, the price is set by the owner. A consignment store puts it up for sale, receiving interest for its services. During the auction, the clothes are kept by the intermediary.
Important! It is imperative to pay attention to the storage conditions of the item in order to avoid deterioration of its condition.
