Cleaning Coats

Frequent brushing keeps the fabric of a wool coat clan. Place the garment on a clean, non-slippery surface such as a bed, or put it on a hanger and brush with one hand while holding the hanger with the other hand. Open up the lapels and collar. Run a finger along the surface of the fabric to determine the direction of the nap, and brush gently against the nap to extract dust or lint. Brush in one direction only, using long, sweeping strokes. Five minutes of brushing should be sufficient.
