Use it as a media when tumbling.Add a little mineral spirits and water in equal portions to just barely dampen the media.Tumble for 20 minutes.The solvent/water loosens/cleans the fur and the cob grit removes it and polishes the hair. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Double bag the fur and media,tie off and use the dryer with the heat turned off. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
