Pro tip if you used too much detergent or you have detergent buildup: use water diluted vinegar (NOT THE FOOD KIND) to remove the 'waxy/sticky' feeling on the fur! Make sure to not use too much and wash it out thoroughly. It doesn't leave the vinegar smell once it dries and your suit is like new again!
This was quite useful! I did not consider the aspect of _cleaning_ when I designed the various features of my fursuit head, so it's going to take some special care like this.
Ive always wanted to be a furry so when im older im gonna become one! Tips for when planning, Draw your fursuit on a tablet first because you know what its gonna look like and at the first time it isnt gonna come out as you want it to be because it takes practice!
Accidentally left a fish sandwich in my carrying bag with my partial in while I was with friends suiting and completely forgot about it, came back to it after I was home and Omg did it stink!!! Thanks for the tutorial, I can clean my bean now
Ooh, water into the foam, that's what I'm worried about here in Canada. It took 3 days to dry out in winter next to a heat fan. Also, you can get water and UV resistant spray to seal eyes with. It's awesome! I'm just not looking forward to my mostly white suit I plan to start later this year. I really need a better way to dry things, especally when cleaning the balaclava inside.
This has helped me so much to understand how to actually clean one without making a massive mess and without little green. I’m hoping to make my first ever foam fursuit head over Christmas, most likely I’ll be wearing it alot over Christmas which is in summer for me and I don’t think anyone would wanna walk into my room and smell a dirty fursuit head.
You’re videos are always a big help, or entertaining. Really glad you’ve made this to help other people. I’ve already known the basics of cleaning, and the detailed features! But you can never know to much, thanks for the help with everything! I appreciate it deeply.
Great tutorial, I use this method for cleaning my heads! Been worrying about the drying process though, I wipe them down with a dry towel after and leave them to air dry by my windowsill. Only thing is I don’t necessarily use a fan, but they dried just within a day.
THIS IS SO HELPFUL!! THANK YOU SKYE!! 💛💙✨ btw, will you be covering how to clean the inside of the head? or do you follow the same method as this video? :)
This fursuit washing tutorial was great! I've been afraid of washing my suits since I've made them myself and they don't exactly come with any washing instructions. Although, I noticed you focused mainly on washing the outside of your head rather than the inside. Should the same process be followed with the inside of the head as well? I know my heads have never been taken outside my house or worn around other people so I don't believe the fur needs washed, but I could be wrong. Anyways, thank you for the tutorial! It was very helpful and I will likely use this in the future when I actually can take my suits outside! Since you are making this into a series, could I possibly request a tutorial to show how newer fursuit makers can create their own washing instructions specific to their heads? I'm not sure where exactly to start and other people may be struggling with the same. This is also something I have not seen anyone else talk about.
Thanks so much for this video! I got a fursuit for the first time ever, someone was selling their old one. I asked them how i should clean it and they seemed too not know, like they never have. He came in and i love him but i can definitely tell he hasn't gotten washed a day in his life! Yuck! I dont have a green machine and im scared to put him in the wash (eyes arnt water proof) so this video was very informative and helpful
Tip: if you want the head got dry much before dry it with the towel and after with a hair dryer that helps too much but you need a lot of time for dry the head
U have convinced me I can make one because I just can’t justify spending so much buying one but I know I might get sick of it half way through and give up 😅
Thanks for the helpful tutorial! I was wondering how I would wash my protgen head if it got dirty, and this really helped! Also just a personal complaint here, I seriously love the British but also country girl vibe you give off. I love it so much lol
This helped me clean my feetpaws, they were so gross and i even found a centipede abdomen in between a toe? I only suit at ren faires and its on a shelf in my fursuit closet so i have no clue how that happened
Thanks ! I dont wanna buy a Little Green to just clean the ears from my fursuit! Mine is a dinomask fursuit without a hood Edit: I wanna make my own actual fursuit head. This is even more useful now
Im going to be making a head of a dinomask. The fur will be anti-pill felt on a balaclava, but the head will be paint sealed with mod podge extra gloss. What could I do to ensure the paint will be safe?
Thank you so much!! I was wanting to know how to do this. Also, could you use this method similarly with hand paws? I need to clean mine, and don't know how.
I think it would be the same. If you don't have airbrushing on your paws then you could do this. Or you could put them in a pillowcase, toss them in the washer, on delicate/low soil, on tap cold or just cold. After they're done washing, squeeze out as much water as you can and lay them on a towel with a fan blowing on them. Brush them out as they dry so the fur doesn't get clumpy and stringy.
Hi! I’m scared to wash mine in the future (currently one side is finished) and the patterns were drawn with sharpie (black) it’s a tan and pink color (light) will it bleed through? One way to find out :,D
Please try this before you wash it and have to completely re fur it Sew patches of the colours you useing together and wash it how you would wash it normally If it bleeds you have to get different fur sadly If it doesnt your good to go!
I steam and brush. I hate to say it, but my head got dusty after a year of not being worn every weekend and maintained for frequent parties, cons and sleepovers. Thank goodness the "rona is over for me now and I can get back to normal furry life.
I wanted to ask if its safe ro wash your suit like this if you have used sharpie earlier in the making of the suit, alot of the base is covered in sharpie and i don't wanna accidentally cause the sharpie to bleed (i made tge suit)
I really apprcate this vid I made my own suit and my suit isnt the best quaillty And im scared that if i wash it like in the bath or washing machine it It could get ruined

My suit is so smelly rn, I haven’t cleaned him in a few months!! Oh god thank youu!
Man, we don't need no STINKY fursuits. Get that boi and make him a clean boi.
All I have is hand and feet paws I make sure they both smell good and the fur is nicely brushed and soft
Lucky. I can’t even afford those.
@@Banterman420 me too 😞
Why would you wait that long?
Two of the Fur rolls behind her kind a look like an eye and snout It’s just staring into my soul 🥲

Should've held the detergent upside down and gone; "and some gentle owo detergent"
"Hi, im skye!,Welcome to my floor." Is such a mood😭

Would you do a video tutorial about how to make waterproof eyes?
i think waterproof eyes are just printed ones, that you dont paint as the colours r there already
Could be wrong tho
You seal them with Mod Podge. I think that should help.
"Now she looks cursed"
*smile* 👍

Why did you write an essay jesus
@@kalluka1241 For fun :)
Yay clean beans! I plan on making my FURst fursuit soon and I know this is going to be super helpful!

im getting a fursuit soon so this was helpful! tysm
I love how you say water its like I say it
I haven't washed my boi since I made em. About half a year ago. He doesn't smell (I only wear him for events) so this will help.
just watching this before i finish my fursuit head in order to be prepared
(first fursuit, base looks good)
OHMYGODYES IVE BEEN WANTING THIS
Thank you for this, I just made my first suit. She doesn't have a name yet but glad to know for when I wanna wash her! Tysm skye!
This was so helpful ugh thank you so much!!! Im so afraid of fully submerging my head in a tub and this is EXACTLY what i needed! Cant wait to try it!
Tip: if you want the head got dry much before dry it with the towel and after with a hair dryer that helps too much but you need a lot of time for dry the head
Turned skye into hero-skye-an for a bit there lol
(Minecraft herobrian reference)
Perfect I'll have a fursuit next week. 💖
Thank you so much for this, I will now be able to know how to clean my beautiful raptor suit :D
U have convinced me I can make one because I just can’t justify spending so much buying one but I know I might get sick of it half way through and give up 😅
Me over here watching this when I don't even have a fursuit lol
Mhm that’s me but I’m thinking about getting a head and maybe paws? Prob just the head though
I onyl discovered furries (well I heard of them before but ye) about a week ago but it's basically all I've been watching the past week
Don’t have one yet but it is something I will invest in.
Thanks for the helpful tutorial! I was wondering how I would wash my protgen head if it got dirty, and this really helped! Also just a personal complaint here, I seriously love the British but also country girl vibe you give off. I love it so much lol
I love that the detergent is "OMO". Angry fursuit doesn't like baths ÒmÓ
This helped me clean my feetpaws, they were so gross and i even found a centipede abdomen in between a toe? I only suit at ren faires and its on a shelf in my fursuit closet so i have no clue how that happened
A CENTIPEDE ABDOMEN WTF 😳 😂
Could you speed up the drying process by using a blowdryer on a low setting plus brushing or would that be a bad idea?
I wouldn’t as heat can warp fur and make it do all sorts of crazy things unless you know what you’re doing
Ty, I needet this vid
I havent washed my raptor mask yet,bc I didnt know how to
Fursuit head before I watch this: I AM SMELLY HELP
Fursuit head after I watch this: YES THANK YOU
me sees all the fur in the back , me grabs my money
I have always wondered how to do this... Tysm cyz now ik what to do when i actually do get a fursuit! :D
Your fursuit is one of the cutest fursuits i ever see!!!🥺
I love your videos.❤
( Sorry if my english is bad😅)
I've only had my suit a week and my other one I haven't finished making yet but I am dreading having to wash them cause I am terrified
Thanks ! I dont wanna buy a Little Green to just clean the ears from my fursuit! Mine is a dinomask fursuit without a hood
Edit: I wanna make my own actual fursuit head. This is even more useful now
Im gonna make my fursuit (again) really soon and im really scared about washing my fursuit
Hi skye! Your almost at 1mil congrats
Your uh missing a few zeroes, try 100,000
I might be able to use this on my fox ear headband
I like clean beans but wouldnt that taste kinda weird?
Does this work for protogens? I don ‘t have a suit yet but I plan to make one in the future, no leds.
I would say so because it is kinda like patch cleaning so the protogen mask wouldnt get wet and brake
Also what would be wrong with using a hairdryer? Would it melt everything with the heat or should it hold as it’s not hot hot
ellooo I wanted to ask if I have to do this wrapping duck tape around mah body if I'll be able to- well.. get a fursuit (?)
also: do you take commissions from people from Europe?
... I just noticed that there's a note under the digitigrade fursuit commission info that actually answers my question..... I'm so lost aaaah
Can you do a fur dye tut like one for when the head is complete but you wanna dye the fur
You must have fur all over your house with all those fursuits you make.
Yes…just yes
When I started making fursuits there was just scraps of fur and foam going all the way downstairs
Im going to be making a head of a dinomask. The fur will be anti-pill felt on a balaclava, but the head will be paint sealed with mod podge extra gloss. What could I do to ensure the paint will be safe?

Thanks for future advice
Hi! I’m scared to wash mine in the future (currently one side is finished) and the patterns were drawn with sharpie (black) it’s a tan and pink color (light) will it bleed through? One way to find out :,D
Please try this before you wash it and have to completely re fur it
Sew patches of the colours you useing together and wash it how you would wash it normally
If it bleeds you have to get different fur sadly
If it doesnt your good to go!
are you using owo detergent?
What do you do if your suit has heavy airbrushing or electronic components? Is fursuit spray with a disinfectant (eg. eucalyptus) enough?
THE STANK
DA MOVING
DA STEAK
DA FURSUITERRRRR
Pick one
What would happen if you used a hairdryer to try to dry it?
the heat will damage the fur D:
@@squib8642 ohhh! You’re right! ‘Cause it’s similar to plastic, huh?
@@redacted2897 Yes!
Can I do the same with a suit made with 3D printed parts?
How do you do the inside lining? Is it the same process?
me: still tryina find a way to say to my mom "i wanna make a "mascot head" "
also me: ooooOOoOOo can never know too much
BAD DRAGON STICKER SPOTTED

Wait the botle name is OmO 🤨 OwO
i needed this bc im going to a con soon so im def gonna clean it after lol
You should also clean it BEFORE you go too because no one likes a skinky husky 😂
I steam and brush. I hate to say it, but my head got dusty after a year of not being worn every weekend and maintained for frequent parties, cons and sleepovers. Thank goodness the "rona is over for me now and I can get back to normal furry life.
Question if you haven’t done it already: How do you wash a DVC Skulldog?
I guess you do the dipping method ? Idk
its literally just like washing a dog but if it was dog friendly 😂
Do you need pinning on the inside for this
I wanted to ask if its safe ro wash your suit like this if you have used sharpie earlier in the making of the suit, alot of the base is covered in sharpie and i don't wanna accidentally cause the sharpie to bleed (i made tge suit)
So when i get a Fursuit i need to make sure it's dry or it will mold
Important question, my suit is a kemono suit so I can’t put paper in the eyes, what do I do?
I’m using acrylic paint and paint sealer for my eyes and I’m not sure if it’s waterproof so I’ll prob handwash it
I have a question do you need a special brush like you have or you can use like normal human brush??
I really apprcate this vid
I made my own suit and my suit isnt the best quaillty
And im scared that if i wash it like in the bath or washing machine it
It could get ruined
This was *moist*
OwO detergent
How do I wash my Dino mask fursuit
👌close to 100k
What if I do not have any delicate detergent?
I’m my own maker and I had no idea if I was saposed to glue the fur down or not and how I was going to wash it
OmO is newest word needs to be in the dictionary now
What detergent do you use because I don’t know if the one I have is to harsh
I,m a fan 😊😊😊
So, what do people usually do for the inside of the suit? That gets pretty dirty too, right?
What about the inside
You are the best
