Suit Care Guide
Keep your floof fresh & fabulous! Follow these tips to keep your suit comfy and ready for all the snuggles and con adventures ahead.
Washing Your Suit
Handle with Care!
-
Spot Clean Often
For small smudges or spills, grab a damp cloth or gentle fabric cleaner. Dab, don't scrub!
-
Hand Wash Heads & Parts
Most fursuit heads and foam parts shouldn't be machine-washed. Use cool water and mild detergent. Gently sponge the fur, avoiding soaking the foam inside.
-
Machine Washable?
If your suit's fur and lining are machine-safe, use a gentle cycle with cold water inside a large laundry bag or pillowcase. Always air dry afterward — no dryers!
-
Avoid Heat
Hot water or dryers can melt glue, warp foam, and ruin fabric.
Drying
No Fry Zone
-
Air Dry Only
Hang your suit in a well-ventilated area, out of direct sunlight.
-
Fluff While Drying
Once mostly dry, gently brush the fur with a slicker brush or pet comb to keep it fluffy and smooth.
Deodorizing
Bye Bye Con Funk!
-
Keep it Fresh
Use fabric fresheners safe for synthetic fur or sprinkle baking soda inside the suit to absorb smells. Shake it out before wearing!
-
Body Spray Alternative
A light spritz of your favorite cologne or a fur-safe scent spray can keep your suit smelling great.
-
Use Moisture-Wicking Undersuits
Wearing an undersuit helps reduce sweat buildup in your suit.
Storage
Nap Time for Your Floof
-
Hang It Up
Use a wide, padded hanger to keep your suit's shape, especially for heads, tails, and paws.
-
Avoid Squishing
Store your suit somewhere spacious, cool, and dry.
-
Cover It
Keep dust and bugs away with a breathable garment bag (no plastic).
-
Protect from Pests
Cedar blocks or lavender sachets nearby can deter moths and bugs without harsh chemicals.
Repairs & Touch-Ups
-
Loose Fur?
Use hot glue or fabric glue for quick fixes. For bigger repairs, contact your maker (wink wink, that's us!).
-
Zipper Care
Keep zippers clean and lubricated with beeswax or zipper lubricant.
-
Brush Regularly
Daily or weekly brushing keeps the fur detangled and vibrant.
Bonus Tips!
- ✨ Don't Overwear: Give your suit breaks to air out and recover its fluff.
- ✨ Keep Food & Drink Away: Avoid eating or drinking in your suit.
- ✨ Practice Safe Booping: Have fun, but don't stretch seams or snag claws on sharp objects.
Remember: Your suit is your floofy partner-in-crime. Treat it right, and it'll make every paw step magical for years to come!
