Keeping your fursuit head smelling fresh
14 years ago
General
This is an often misinformed subject. The only product I recommend to spray in your fursuit head to keep it smelling fresh and be bacteria-free is vodka in a spray bottle. I do no recommend Fabreeze, Lysol, Enbac, etc. These are all dangerous to keep in a close environment close to your head. You're not suppose to breathe any of these in or have them come in contact with your eyes or indirectly ingest them. Endbac is indeed used in hospitals, but according to Johnson Wax, they are to be used on non-porous surfaces or hard porous surfaces, none of which you are to in hale.
Vodka is inexpensive and more safer to use next to your head than any of these products. It's a natural disinfectant. The alcohol quickly evaporates and is safe if you breathe it in. Alcohol in hand sanitizer is loads more toxic actually (different type). Vodka has been proven to reduce skin breakouts too as it astringents and tightens your pours.
If you're too young to buy vodka then buy some white vinegar I guess,
So, outside for the fur of the head, I use Armor All interior spray to condition the fur and help keep it stain-resistant. Just spray on very lightly and brush in with a slicker. When it dries, lightly brush again and your fur will be soft and shiny once more. On the inside, spray with vodka.

I've always used clear vinegar and good old fashioned fresh Scottish air to freshen up my head after wearing it.

Sure seems that way, I thought I'd be the only one who used vinegar. With my health issues I don't want to go around wearing something soaked with god knows what over my face

Is this real info and not a gag? It seems to have points in both areas and I can't quite figure it out.

Vodka and drinkable alcohol specifically, or does this include rubbing alcohol?

Just vodka, not sure how disinfectant other drinkable alcohols are, like whiskey, but vodka is known for eliminating odors and disinfecting. No rubbing alcohol unless you don't plan to wear the head until it completely (emphasized) dries/evaporates out. Don't want to sweat and get rubbing alcohol in your eyes.
