As part of my wardrobe evaluation, I pulled out my deep winter parka to wash (yeah, I should have done that months ago) and look over. The removable faux fur ruff on the hood was looking a little mangy, so I decided to have a go at revitalizing it.
I pulled it off the coat, sprayed it with some dry shampoo, and used a hairbrush to work through all the clumps. Worked a charm! It smells great now and looks like new. Better than I expected, and it only took a couple of minutes.
Just thought I'd share, in case anyone else runs into the same issue.
