When carrying the costume, make sure you hold it in a way that won\u2019t tear the materials.<\/li><li><b>Wearing the Costume:\u00a0<\/b>Take care when wearing the costume. Make sure to steer clear of anything that may damage the costume such as water, fire, or other messes. If your mascot costume does encounter something that stains or soils the material, clean it as soon as you can. Ideally before the stain sets in. Another thing we recommend is to pick up your feet when walking in the mascot costume. This helps to avoid wear and tear on the shoes.<\/li><li><b>After using your costume:<\/b>\u00a0After every use, make sure to air out your costume. Letting your mascot costume air out will keep it fresh and prevent mold and mildew, extending the life of your mascot. In addition, wipe out the inside of the head with a disinfectant wipe or mild detergent to prevent black mold. If you notice that your costume is beginning to form black mold, make sure to take care of it right away. Spray the inside of the feet with a disinfectant after every use. To prevent your costume\u2019s fur from appearing knotty and tarnished, gently brush the fur with a wire brush on a regular basis.<\/li><\/ul><p>The day to day care of your mascot is essential for preventing issues with your costume and thus essential for prolonging the life of your mascot costume.

Avoid a washing machine with an agitator and use the gentle cycle and cold water. Spot clean the outside of the head and other parts that need it with a mild detergent and water. If you are unsure if your mascot costume is machine-wash compatible, it is best to NOT put it in the washing machine until you are sure. Contact your mascot costume&#8217;s supplier, they should have that information for you.<\/li><li><b>Drying the Costume:<\/b>\u00a0Only air-dry the costume\u2014do not put it in the dryer. NEVER apply heat to any of the costume parts. Once your costume is completely dry, brush the fur with a wire brush. Then, scotch guard the outside of the costume to prevent stains and dirt. Whatever you do, do not dry clean your costume. Dry cleaning can harm the furs and fabrics and distort colors. Air drying in a environment with clean air and a bit of a breeze is ideal.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-244d6d3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"244d6d3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: bolder;font-size: 17.85px\"><em>MASCOT TIP<\/em><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 17.85px\">: Creating a regular mascot cleaning schedule will help extend the life of your mascot costume and will keep it looking new and fresh all the time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d227fe3 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"d227fe3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-8fdb6ed elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8fdb6ed\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-43a6568\" data-id=\"43a6568\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c67e2e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1c67e2e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Replace Mascot Parts as Needed<\/h3><p>Mascots have busy schedules\u2014a lot of wear and tear can occur over time.

If your costume is stored in a humid area, the materials can degrade much more quickly. Store the head of your costume in an area where nothing can crush it or deform the facial features. The same rules apply for foam shape costumes; make sure to store the costume in a way so that the shape won\u2019t be deformed. If the costume is a bodysuit, hang it up if you can do so. Hanging your costume after every use will allow for proper air flow and will prevent wrinkles and folds from forming in the costume.<\/li><li><b>Transporting your Costume:<\/b>\u00a0When transporting your mascot, it will be best protected in a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/custom-mascots\/mascot-accessories\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hard-sided shipping case<\/a>.
