Fursuit care guide

Keep your custom fursuit clean, fresh, and ready for your next convention or gathering. Handcrafted in South Mountain-Phoenix, Arizona, Furreal Fursuits are made with premium faux fur and durable internal materials. Follow these maintenance routines and essential rules to preserve the vibrant look, comfort, and longevity of your mascot or partial suit.

How do I wash different parts of my fursuit?

For suit heads, use a bath bar specially made for costumes and fursuits to gently spot-clean the surface. For tails, hand paws, feet paws, and body suits, the lining and inseams are completely machine washable. Always wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, use strictly no bleach, and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.

What is the most critical thing to avoid with faux fur?

Never expose your fursuit to direct sunlight or high heat. Direct sunlight or extreme dryer heat will permanently burn, melt, and singe synthetic faux fur fibers. Always store and dry your pieces in cool, shaded indoor areas.

What should I keep in my fursuit care kit?

Every suit owner should carry a slicker brush, gentle costume cleaning soap, and disinfectant fursuit spray. Scented disinfectant sprays, such as strawberries and cream or blueberry, help sanitize the interior lining and keep fabrics smelling fresh between events.

When does my fursuit need professional repair?

If your fursuit head or body begins to creak, it is time for a foam check. Reach out through my social media or email me directly to arrange a time. I will inspect the interior foam structure, seal internal cracks and breaks, and replace any torn or damaged fur neatly.

How should I store my costume between events?

Ensure your costume is 100% dry before storing. Hang bodysuits on heavy-duty wide plastic hangers in a climate-controlled closet. Store heads on flat, breathable surfaces away from heat vents, direct windows, or damp basements.

Can I brush the fur while it is wet?

Gently brush faux fur during the air-drying process using a clean slicker brush or wide-tooth comb. Brushing periodically in the direction of the fur grain keeps the fibers soft, aligned, and prevents matting.
