Feather Care

Ostrich and peacock feathers tend to "dry out" over a period of time and lose both their "fluffiness" and looks.

To restore feathers to a fuller appearance it is recommended that you shake and steam them to bring back a more attractive look.

To do this, gently rub the feather between your hands to make the individual strands more fluffy.  Then get a pan of boiling water or a steam kettle and hold the feather in the steam that is given off.  This process puts moisture back into the flue and "expands" the appearance of the feather. 

If needed, wash them gently in warm, soapy water and dry on a clothes line. Once dry, steam them to "fluff" out. Never dry them in a dryer or oven.
