For Bathtub: Fill tub with COLD water. NEVER use any sort of heat or hot water on your fursuit as it will ruin the fur and leave it with an unsettling texture. Pour into the tub at least a cap-full of your detergent of choice. Personally I would recommend Woolite® which is meant for a Gentle wash. Using your hand, mix the detergent into the water to activate the soap suds. Then soak your fursuit parts into the water. For your fursuit head, try to keep the eyes above the water as to not damage them. They are water resistant but not water proof. Using your hands, gently scrub your fursuit making sure to get every inch. We don't want a stinky suit so make sure to really get in there! After washing everything, leave it to soak for a few minutes. After you've left it to soak, drain your dirty water making sure to squeeze as much water as possible out of the suit. Once the water has been drained from the tub and the suit, use a shower head (if possible) to rinse off the suit. (If you don't have a shower head, you can use the tub faucet and run your suit underneath it) Once finished, your suit will still be very heavy from being wet so DO NOT HANG IT. That may cause your suit to get damaged so try to lay your suit parts on a flat surface. You can also use a dryer for only the handpaws and the tail if your dryer has a NO HEAT setting with low spin. Once all your suit parts are ready to dry, make sure to brush everything so when it dries, everything is nice and neat.

For handwashing: Fill a spray bottle with 1 part detergent to 3 parts COLD water. Cover the eyes of your suit head using paper towels just to keep them from getting damaged. Spray every part of your suit making sure not to leave anything dry. Very gently scrub your suit with a damp cloth or your hands to activate the suds. Once your suit is completely coated, fill your spray bottle with ONLY water and repeat the process but instead, you're rinsing the suit. Brush out your suit and place in a well ventilated area to dry. Fans are optional but will increase the drying process.
