Usually, to clean any element of their wardrobe, people use washing machines with certain parameters and adjustable settings, which are set for a certain type of item. Modern models of the device allow you to select the operating mode for almost all types of materials used for sewing clothes.
However, there are some types of products that should only be washed by hand. The choice of method depends on the ability of the fabric to stretch, change color, and decrease in size. It is worth paying attention to the manufacturers' recommendations and not using automatic washing, so as not to spoil the material and quality of the product.

IMPORTANT: Fur coats are expensive and require proper care; for convenience, it is recommended to have the product dry cleaned. However, there are some tips for doing laundry at home.
