To Wash or Not to Wash?Whitings thoroughly wash all products in a mild detergent prior to packaging, so you should not have a need to wash your Whitings product when you receive it. There will be some natural oils present in the pelt which is acceptable and helps maintain the longevity of your feathers and allows the product to be more pliable.If you do choose to wash your Whitings product please ensure that you use a very mild detergent (Whitings recommends Woolite® brand soap) and to thoroughly rinse the feathers whilst ensuring the pelt is kept intact. Do your best not to remove the natural oils from the pelt as this will make the pelt frail and brittle and this will reduce the lifespan of your feathers too. Air dry on a cloth towel or sheet of newspaper for a few days, DO NOT try drying in a tumble dryer.StorageWhiting packs all their pelts with a cardboard back and sealed in their own plastic bag. It is recommended that you add a piece of paper towel to reduce the cardboard absorbing all of the oils from the pelt. Never allow the feathers to touch the skin of another pelt, always store pelts back-to-backAlways store your Whiting products in a resealable plastic bag to prevent any potential bug infestation and to keep your feathers straight.Do not stack pelts on top of each other, stand them on their side so they are not compressed.
