Fur Cleaning

     Your valuable furs should be cleaned and glazed every year.  This elaborate process cleans, reconditions, and restores the luster to your fur garment.  Even if you only wear your fur a few times a season your garment needs this process to prolong its wearing life.  Regular cleaning will restore the natural oils that everyday pollutants, such as perfume, makeup, hair products, and dust, can remove.  These substances must be removed or they will cause your fur to become dry and unrepairable. 

     Burtrum Furs has its own in house cleaning plant located at the flint location.  Our fur cleaning associates have been in the industry over 25 years and our the best in the industry.  Your fur will never be shipped to an outside location for cleaning.  First our expert cleaners examine each coat to make sure it can go in the cleaning drums. Next silk linings are hand cleaned before the fur is placed into the wooden drums with saw dust which is made out of corn cob or glass and solvent mixture.  After your coat has been gently tumbled on both sides of the drums it is steamed and blown for extra sawdust to be removed.  Finally, your coat can go through the glazing process which restores shine and fluffs the hair.

      When your fur has gone through the entire cleaning process it is removed from the cleaning plant and taken to our seamstress.  The seamstress than checks your fur for loose lining, missing hooks, and any repairs, this is all included at no charge to you.  Finally,  we steam your fur, linings include, before our storage manager checks your coat over one last time and places it in the vaults.
