F.A.Q

How and where do I store my fursuit spray?

In a closet, drawers, etc.

Keep away from the sun and direct sunlight and store in a dry & dark space/room.

Away from a socket/plug where it cannot potentially leak into a socket/plug.

Keep away from children.

My spray has a strong alcohol smell!

A common misconception is that people think fursuit sprays work like perfumes or deodorant. Sadly, that is not the case.

Some essential oils aren't very smelly and thus the fursuit spray smell will be weaker and as a result smell more strongly of alcohol.

Can I drink my fursuit spray?

NO.

Can a fursuit spray damage my fursuit?

The answer to this question is yes/no.

IPA 'eats' hot glue so don't drench your fursuit head in fursuit spray.  This will happen over time.

As for airbrushed spots ; be gentle but it should be fine.

So if you use your spray sparingly you're good to go!

Can I wear my fursuit head immediately after spraying it on the inside?

Allow it to fully dry first before you put on your fursuit head.

Is it safe to get fursuit spray on my skin?

Best is to avoid getting fursuit spray on your skin as IPA may cause skin reactions (i.e eczema or dermatitis). - plus it'll dry out your skin.


What are fursuit sprays used for?


Fursuit (disinfection) sprays are used to keep fursuits as clean as possible during a meet, event or a convention and keep the smell  of sweat at a minimum.

It is especially handy for spots such as the inside of your fursuit head to prevent bacteria and/or mold build-up.
It is used as a temporary solution and not a substitute for washing your fursuit.

However they can also be used for other items such as your sofa!


The ingredients


Isopropyl alcohol(IPA) is a disinfectant used against bacteria, fungi and viruses.

Distilled water is a type of purified water that does not contain the same (amount) of minerals as tap water (i.e calcium)

Vanilla stabilizer is used in soap making(or cosmetics) to prevent (yellowing) discoloration. 

Essential oils are used to give the sprays their lovely smell and to help mask the smell of alcohol.

 


Can fursuit sprays go 'bad' ?

the short answer :
YES!

The long answer :
If not stored properly there is a chance the oils might go rancid and turn the spray into a yellow/brown color.
It will also smell 'off' 

If this happens to any fursuit spray(regardless of brand) please get safely rid of it as it might potentially stain your product. 

But in general this should not happen and is a fairly rare occurrence.
I've made sprays that lasted well over 3 years without any discoloration or 'off' smells.
