The hottest and sharpest question - "Can Trokot fur covers be washed?"
In short:
In a washing machine -
no
Dry cleaning and hand washing - of course, yes!
Why fur covers should not be washed in a machine
Automatic washing can ruin the accessory for several reasons.
Deformation of the base. Under the rotation of the drum, the leather or fabric base of a fur cover stretches unevenly, can shrink or lose elasticity.
Damage to the fur. Because of friction the pile tangles and mats, some of the hairs fall out, the fur becomes stiff and loses volume. The tips of the hairs break off, making the item look untidy.
Fur peeling off the backing. Intensive spinning creates a strong mechanical load, especially on seams and attachment areas. This can lead to the fur separating from the base.
Change of color and structure. Aggressive components of washing powders (bleaches, enzymes) can destroy dyes, causing fading or uneven coloring, and also damage the structure of the pile itself.
Drying problems. After machine washing the base dries for a long time, which risks rot or mold. When dried near a radiator or in the sun, the leather base dries out and cracks, and the fur turns yellow from ultraviolet.
Shrinkage. Contact with water and mechanical processing can cause natural leather or fabric to shrink, because of which the cover loses its fit and stops matching the shape of the seat.
Damage to the hardware. Elastic bands, clasps, Velcro and cords tear, deform or lose their fixing properties under the effect of water and rotation.
Almost all motorists buy fur covers for their car for warmth and style. The quality of the fur, its color, "static" and how quickly it gets "pressed down" under body weight - we took all these nuances into account when choosing our eco-fur.
We make the covers by hand, which minimizes the risk of defects. Each item is made with soul and care.
Before purchase we always tell customers about the methods of caring for our product, so we decided to create a separate article for you!
Is it important to wash fur car seat covers? If yes, then why?
Rare care is unlikely to help keep their original look for many years. Quality and appearance will directly affect your comfort and mood. After all, it is always nicer to sit in a tidy car interior. Our fur covers Trokot stand out precisely because they are the least easily soiled and more practical thanks to the ideal pile length. The hairs do not "stick together" the way they usually do with Chinese analogues, and if you give them attention twice a year, they will "breathe and shine" for you for a very long time.
If you still want to do everything yourself, the question arises: "How do I wash a fur seat cover?"
We recommend soaking them in warm water for 30-40 minutes. All the dirt will come off by itself, and you do not need to rub the fur. After that you can blot the cover with a towel; twisting it into a rope is not allowed. Then lay it pile up in a horizontal position. Once you wash a fur car cover, it will look perfect afterwards! This method is time-tested and proven by our beloved customers. Some tried to speed up drying with a hair dryer; here you should be more careful and dry only with cool air at a distance from the item. Also, if you do not want to bother much, you can simply hang them up and "beat" them out like a carpet.

The main advantage is that they are all universal in size thanks to adjustable fasteners.
With us you will find 2 options of front covers made of fur:
1) C headrest
2) Without a headrest
The choice depends on your personal preferences. Both options are equally high quality.
The rear seat consists of 5 parts and is assembled like a "construction set". Why not a single piece? First, so that the cover is fixed more precisely on the seat. Second, in case of unforeseen situations, you can easily remove one part and clean it (you do not need to take off a huge sheet, like a carpet, and carry it on your back. With us everything is simple.
There are also "lite" and "classic" options. Lite is cheaper because of the difference in the material of the "sheet" itself. This option uses fabric and a back side without a rubberized coating.
In the classic version there is foam rubber inside, which helps the cover keep its shape. And the back side has a rubberized coating.
