How to fluff up a flattened raccoon fur coat?
Hey there! As a raccoon fur coat supplier, I've gotten tons of questions from customers about how to fluff up a flattened raccoon fur coat. It's a common issue, especially if the coat has been stored for a long time or squished in a tight space. So, I thought I'd share some tips and tricks on how to bring that fur back to life.
First off, let me introduce some of the amazing raccoon fur coats we offer. We have the Finn Raccoon Coat, which is known for its luxurious and soft fur. Then there's the Full Length Raccoon Coat, perfect for those cold winter days when you need maximum warmth and style. And if you're looking for something with a little extra flair, our Real Raccoon Fur Hood Coat is a great choice.
Now, let's get into the nitty - gritty of fluffing up that flattened fur.
1. Hanging and Air - Drying
The first step is to hang your raccoon fur coat in a well - ventilated area. Make sure to use a wide, padded hanger. This helps to distribute the weight of the coat evenly and prevents the fur from getting crushed. Avoid using wire hangers as they can leave marks on the coat and damage the fur.
Let the coat hang for at least 24 hours. The fresh air will help the fur fibers relax and start to regain their natural shape. If possible, hang it outdoors on a dry, sunny day. The sunlight can also help to brighten the fur, but don't leave it out for too long as excessive sunlight can fade the color.
2. Brushing
Once the coat has had a chance to air out, it's time to start brushing. Use a soft - bristled fur brush. You can find these at most pet stores or online. Start at the top of the coat and gently brush the fur in the direction of the natural hair growth.
Be careful not to brush too hard, as this can break the fur fibers. Instead, use light, sweeping motions. Work your way down the coat, section by section. If you come across any particularly flattened areas, you can use a little more pressure, but still be gentle.
Brushing not only helps to fluff up the fur but also removes any dust or debris that may have accumulated. It's like giving your coat a mini - spa treatment!
3. Steam
Steam is another great way to fluff up raccoon fur. You can use a handheld garment steamer or simply hang the coat in the bathroom while you take a hot shower. The steam will help to relax the fur fibers and make them more pliable.
Hold the steamer about 6 - 8 inches away from the coat and move it slowly up and down. Make sure to cover the entire surface of the coat. After steaming, use your brush again to gently fluff up the fur. The combination of steam and brushing can work wonders in restoring the coat's fullness.
4. Shaking
Give the coat a good shake. Hold it by the shoulders and give it a few firm shakes. This can help to loosen up the fur and make it look more voluminous. You can also gently pat the coat with your hands to further fluff up the fur.
5. Professional Cleaning
If the coat is still looking flattened after trying these at - home methods, it might be time to take it to a professional fur cleaner. They have the expertise and specialized equipment to clean and restore raccoon fur coats properly.
A professional cleaner can deep - clean the fur, remove any stubborn stains or odors, and give it a thorough fluffing. While it may cost a bit more, it's often worth it to ensure your coat looks its best.
Storing Your Raccoon Fur Coat Properly
To prevent your raccoon fur coat from getting flattened in the future, proper storage is key. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing it in plastic bags, as this can trap moisture and cause the fur to mat.

Instead, use a breathable cotton garment bag. You can also add a few cedar blocks to the storage area to keep moths away. And remember to hang it on a wide, padded hanger.
