I know that there is a lot written about fur and all the fuss about caring for it. But the bottom line is that it wouldn't be one of the most durable clothing materials in the world if didn't have some tough qualities as well.
I have traveled around a country and seen a few professional storage places. There is a lot of commonality. It is a room with furs hanging on hangers. Now the climate control of these places has quite a range. Some employ AC with a humidifier and a dehumidifier depending on the situation. Other places just have air conditioning in place. Still, others just have a room with a few open doors allowing the air to flow freely.
A good rule of thumb is that your fur loves the same atmosphere as you. You do not like being hot. You do not like humidity. You will not be around a moldy place for long. You will not put your face near a vent blowing hot or cold air. Note: Colder is better than hotter for fur.
There are a few common mistakes that people make when storing their fur.
1. People store their fur in the attic, forgetting that it gets extremely hot in summer. This may dry out your fur and ruin it.
2. People store their furs in the basement. Overall this is a good solution because of its cool temperature but you need take note that the basement is not overly humid and musty.
3. People forget to protect their fur from moth. There is an easy and an inexpensive solution. Throw some natural moth away in your fur coat pockets and replace after 6 months. Keep the moth away in your closet at all times.
4. People believe that a cedar closet will be enough for all their fur care needs. Meanwhile, it's really only beneficial to ward off some moth while the air circulation and temperature control remains an issue.
Storing your fur at home was a big problem back in the day when indoor climate control was impossible to regulate with precision or when only the privileged few had access to such technology. Today, under the right conditions, storing your fur at home is a practical way to save money and time.
