mascot to be out in the world. However, one thing to always consider is the temperature. It can get quite warm inside a mascot costume, and your performer can easily become overheated. This can happen even on days considered cold. Take a look at our <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/blog\/how-to-keep-your-mascot-performer-cool\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mascot cooling blog<\/a><\/span> for more information on how to cool your mascot performer.<\/p><p>No matter the weather we always recommend wiping down the inside of the costume with cleaning solution after each time the mascot gets used. Mascot performers will sweat no matter what, and sweat contains salt. Salt causes rust and stains. Avoid this problem by giving the inside of your mascot some post-performance care. Even if all you have at your disposal is some anti-bacterial wipes; consistent use will have a huge impact on the longevity of your mascot costume.<\/p><p>For more information, on <a href=\"https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/blog\/mascot-head-cleaning-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">mascot cleaning<\/span><\/a>, see our blog!<\/p><p>The final thing we want to mention in this section is sun bleaching. How much the sun bleaches a mascot depends on your climate, your fabric\/fur, and the time you spend outdoors. Outdoor Mascots that come to us from places like Texas, are much more susceptible to bleaching than those from up here in Wisconsin. On the extreme side of things, we have some clients that run their mascots outdoors in the sun every day of the week. Their fur is noticeably faded after a year. But we also have some clients that only have a few outdoor showings a year, and their fur\u2019s color lasts over 8-10 years. To show you the variance of sun bleaching, we\u2019ve assembled some samples. All of these are from the same client, but their mascots are based all over the United States:<\/p>\t\t\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<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-613aac1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"613aac1\" 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-25 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-a5766b0\" data-id=\"a5766b0\" 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-aa4bb55 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"aa4bb55\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/pic-31-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6769\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/pic-31-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/pic-31-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/pic-31-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/pic-31-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/pic-31.jpg 1740w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">The material on the left is from 2015 and the material on the right is brand new for 2023.

While it is certainly ok to get the suit a little damp, getting the suit soaked should be avoided at all costs. Whether you expect a slight drizzle or a torrential downpour, getting the mascot to shelter when the rain starts to fall should be a priority. This is especially the case in thunderstorms, as some mascot costumes have metal in them which is not ideal when lightning is in the forecast.<\/p><h6><strong>Note: Given that a mascot naturally stands out from a crowd, they can be a great person to, \u201clead the way\u201d and direct customers\/fans to shelter. If rain is in the forecast, consider establishing a protocol on where to direct the crowd when it happens.<\/strong><\/h6><p>If you do get water on the mascot costume, you <strong>need<\/strong> to air dry it right after you take it off or you risk mold and fungus. Ideally, the suit should be hung or draped over a line to maximize the surface area exposed to air. We recommend doing this in a well-ventilated area and using a fan to blow on the costume if available. If you are unable to hang your mascot suit or the mascot head, you can certainly spread it out on a table to air it out. Just be sure to rotate it every so often so that all sides of the suit and head are dried evenly. Consider using a dog brush to untangle the mascot fur, as tangles and knots lengthen the drying process.<\/p>\t\t\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<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-31947a8\" data-id=\"31947a8\" 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-3149641 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"3149641\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5eaaa0f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5eaaa0f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/pic-7-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6735\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/pic-7-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/pic-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/pic-7-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/pic-7-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/pic-7.jpg 1740w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\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-228f3e9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"228f3e9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0fc2d8a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0fc2d8a\" 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\t\t<p>Only put the costume in storage when it is completely dry.

However, if your mascot is venturing into a winter wonderland, the protocols for snow are quite similar to that of rain. We once again want to remind you to do you best to avoid getting the costume wet, but if you do it is not the end of the world. Just be sure to air dry the costume as soon as possible once you take it off. It might be worth investing in some <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/upgradedpoints.com\/travel\/hiking-and-camping\/best-waterproof-shoe-covers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">waterproof boot covers<\/a><\/span> if your mascot is going to be walking in snow consistently.<\/p><h6><strong>Note: If you have snow stuck on your costume\u2019s fur, try to shake it off rather than brush it off. While we recommend brushing your fur after water, we do not recommend doing so with snow. Brushing can cause the snow to imbed itself deeper into the fur.<\/strong><\/h6>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-245d052 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"245d052\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2297\" height=\"970\" src=\"https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/pic-8.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-6739\" alt=\"A Mascot in front of a snow bank.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/pic-8.jpg 2297w, https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/pic-8-300x127.jpg 300w, https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/pic-8-1024x432.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/pic-8-768x324.jpg 768w, https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/pic-8-1536x649.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/pic-8-2048x865.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2297px) 100vw, 2297px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b24e745 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b24e745\" 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\t\t<p>Another thing to consider with snow is salt. Salt is often used to melt ice on pavement, and it can be quite corrosive and leave a stain in fur and fabric. The <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/blog\/mascot-feet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">feet of the mascot costume<\/a><\/span> are the part of the costume most likely to be in contact with salt. It is best to wipe them down with water as soon as possible once you are done using the mascot costume for the day. If wiping the fur down with water isn\u2019t enough to take the salt marks\/stains, considering using vodka.

For those of you unfamiliar, slush is partially melted snow and ice. Slush can easily soak into your costume, and it often has salt mixed into it.\u00a0<\/p><p>The final thing we need to mention is ice. Mascots are not immune to slipping on ice, and the performer\u2019s reduced visibility inside the costume can prevent them from seeing what they\u2019re stepping on.

Dust isn\u2019t as much of a danger to mascots as it is an inconvenience.<\/p><p>Most mascot costumes use a wire mesh for <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/blog\/mascot-vision-inside-a-mascot-head\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vision holes<\/a><\/span> rather than a plastic or glass. Because of this, dust can get in a performer\u2019s eyes. The simple solution is to have the performer wear goggles or glasses. However, if you\u2019re really expecting dust to be a big problem for your mascot, it may be better just to have them sit this one out.<\/p><p>If your mascot suit gets dust on it, simply shake it out like you would a rug. For the head, use a vacuum instead. Only use a brush after you\u2019re sure you\u2019ve gotten all the dirt out.
