One of the biggest issues with these materials is the possibility of shrinkage and matting if not properly maintained. Many people make the mistake of washing their faux fur items in too high temperatures, which is a common culprit for these problems. Therefore, it is crucial to avoid hot water and automatic dryers and instead, opt for cold water and air-drying. These simple steps will not only prevent shrinkage but also help keep the fibers from melting together, ensuring that your faux fur apparel remains in excellent condition.
