I spilt a cup of tea at work on my desk it went on my jeans and cardigan which I can just thrown in the wash but it also went on my coat. I have a coat with a fluffy hood and I am worried to wash it because previous experience it’s gone clumpy and no longer fluffy. Any advice?

I've washed coats with fluffy hoods many times. You just need to fluff it up when it's damp, and then again when it's dry

When it's washed and dried use a detangle brush on it or a pet brush. I brush all our fur on hoods when washed An dried.

The way to bring up a fluffy washed faux fur trimmed hood, may sound odd, but use a dogs slicker brush, it has close metal bristles and does an amazing job, i used it on my grandsons Grandsons fur trimmed hood

I feel stupid saying this but brush it when wet with a tangle teaser and the same when it's dry  like I've got nothing better to think about than a clumpy hood

Washing it will be fine. it’s when you chuck it in tumble dryer without thinking it’s game over‍♀️. no detangling brush will sort that out Thought at 34 years of age and three coats in the space of a year I would of learned by now. nope ruined my eldests last week tooxx
