My mom says you use cornmeal. Rub it into the fur, then brush out. Be sure to go with the grain and be gentle. It's tedious. She says that is how professional furriers do it. Sharon

Thank you all for all the interesting ideas and knowlege. So to my question... How do you clean white fur? I have purchased and old white mink fur coat and I'd like to clean it before I cut it up :) I'd really rather not spend much more money on this project. Any ideas? Also how do I cut it? I am going to use it to trim a 15th century V necked gown. Thanks!
