After wearing your suit, spray with a isopropyl alcohol/water/essential oil solution (3:1 alcohol/water, 5-6 drops of essential oil, do not use eucalyptus as it can eat away at the fur.)

6 hours of sleep - Fursuiting without enough sleep can be dangerous. Fatigue can cause headaches, dizziness, muscle weakness, impaired decision-making, and even fainting.

2 showers a day - it will cut down on sweat and help keep your suit fresh.

Washing and Cleaning
-
Body suits can be machine washed in cold water with Woolite detergent. Turning a suit inside out can help preserve the fur. Do not add fabric softener.
-
Heads and feet should be hand-washed in cold/cool water.
-
DO NOT USE A CLOTHES DRYER. Air dry your suit gently over two chairs or a drying rack. Do not hang to dry, as this can stretch the fur fabric and create patches.
-
Brush gently halfway through drying, and again when drying is completed. Do not pull on fur while brushing as it can damage the backing underneath.
-
Do not take suit to dry cleaners.
-
Store your suit in a cool, dry environment, away from light. Excessive light can damage fur colors.
-
Improper cleaning procedures can result in a damaged suit and voided warranty. :(
