Fur Garment Cleaning, Glazing, and Conditioning Services
Just like proper storage, regular cleaning is crucial for maintaining your fur, shearling, and leather garments. Over time, dirt, dust, salt, winter solvents, and accidental spills can build up, affecting the longevity and look of your outerwear. At Day Furs, our professionally trained staff perform in-house cleaning and glazing for fur garments, and we collaborate with specialty cleaners for leather, fabric, and unique materials.
A common misconception we hear is, “I didn’t wear my coat this winter, so it doesn’t need cleaning.” However, we still recommend conditioning every year and cleaning at least every other year. Regular maintenance helps restore essential oils lost to evaporation, keeping the skins soft, supple, and looking their best.
Our Fur Cleaning and Glazing Process
Here’s what happens during our fur cleaning and glazing service:
1. Inspection – We check for any items left in pockets, assess potential repairs, and identify any stains or embedded substances.
2. Customer Notification – If repairs or specialty cleaning are needed, we notify you for approval before proceeding.
3. Cleaning & Glazing – Fur garments are placed in a specially designed slow-tumbling machine with a cleaning and glazing agent.
4. Vacuum Tumbler – After cleaning, garments are placed in a vacuum tumbler to remove the majority of the cleaning agent.
5. Final Cleaning – Any remaining agent is removed using compressed air.
6. Final Inspection – After a thorough inspection, your garment is either placed in storage or returned to you, looking refreshed and revived.
The Importance of Conditioning
Conditioning is an essential part of fur care, preventing the skins from drying out and restoring the garment’s natural fluffiness.
We offer several convenient options depending on your location, making it easy for you to clean, glaze, condition, and store your garments during the off-seasons and have them back, ready to wear for fall and winter.
