most of the things that went hard seem to have contained sugar (ketchup and bbq have a significant amount of sugar, toothpaste often has sugar or sweeteners), which probably caramelized or otherwise congealed over time. products intended for skin (as well as mayo, being oil and eggs) contain a lot of natural oils that don't play nice with plastics- ask anyone who's tried using normal hair products on a wig. oils are harder to fully remove and will build up over time if not totally cleaned, which is how you get greasy fur. the acetone and ethanol, being high-strength chemicals, most likely dissolved parts of the plastic into one another (why they became solid). i would definitely warn against using large amounts of essential oils despite how well it did; the synthetic fur might be fine, but certain essential oils (namely tea tree, and eucalyptus which is actually toxic if ingested) can give you chemical burns if left on your skin for a long time. vodka (or vinegar) and water however is a tried-and-true method for spot cleaning fabrics, especially things you don't generally want to get soaked through in a machine- just make sure nothing ELSE you clean your suit with will react with them.

"Mustard is Magic and ketchup is the devil" -pocari Roo, 2019.

- Buys 3 sheets of fur - Cuts it all into unusable squares - Intentionally ruins all of them As a fursuit maker, *THIS GAVE ME ANXIETY...*

...Is that Chemical Plant Zone I hear in the background Pocari I love you lol

“Some shampoo” *shows conditioner* “and conditioner” *shows shampoo*

*_IN THE NAME OF SCIENCEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!_*

I've been absolutely scared to do anything risky with my fursuit, but knowing what cleans off now really helps ease my worries

This is painful... oh so painful... I dont even have a fursuit yet

So, I guess Russians did think through saving their fursuits, when they created vodka 😹

“Pocari roo the science roo”

25:49 "Take my reserch with a grain of salt." Me: looks down at my notes which became a word for word script of the video.

I remember hearing an old wives tale about disinfecting dance costumes with cheap vodka, seems to track here.

Me Before She Dirtied The Fur: Oh cool, Pocari uploaded! Me While She Dirtied The Fur: AAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH Me After She Cleaned The Fur: Oh well that's not too bad.

“And then we have toothpaste,” - Pocari, 2019.

that person working in the shop must been like "why tf is she buying all this"

Pocari: Rather than wait for a horrible fursuiting accident *Flashbacks to the goose poo accident of 2017* edit: guys I'm referring to a video clip where Pocari is running in suit through a field and they trip and fall in goose poo. It's on the channel.

Literally JUST caught the link from twitter! It’s still funny how KZfaq notifications almost never work anyways xD.

Zero dislikes. Just like it should be

This video is heaps cool and interesting. I’m most surprised about the wine as I thought it would stain the white fur. But it dose the complete opposite once you cleaned them. And the coke surprised me as well. Awesome job as thanks to you Pocari, we suiters will learn what products to avoid while in suit.

2 shots of vodka Edit: 100 likes??? I’ve never gotten this many OwO also thanks for liking my comment Pocari :3 Edit 2: Why did 270 people like this??

I’m ready for my vinegar and vodka bath 😂

Washes furr with vodka. RUSSIA 100

Vodka one doesn't surprise me given that in emergency situations some hospital's have been known to use it as a substitute for medical alcohol

Definitely not taking notes to keeping a future fursuit clean.

I absolutely love the new outro!

Pacari roo science with sonic background music remixed. This is science with style boys. Edit: damn this music doe. It’s a good way to Keep people from skipping through your video.

The fur most likely melted/stuck together from the acetone because PLA and ABS plastics are actually cured using acetone. You can see it quite often in 3D printing when people want to smooth the prints out- though for something as thin as fur it will cause it to chemically melt together. (I used to work with 3D printers a lot back in the day so I learned a lot from working with them actually XP)

When I was on a road trip with my friend I brought my fursuit tail with me and I then accidentally spilled a bit of coke on my tail. It was a white tail so it didn't look to good. Thankfully I got it out

You literally make my life a happier place I can tell you that , I love you're content and everything about you're channel , I'm hoping to get my ow siut and visiting ya

i went to a halloween party a few years ago and brought my suit. in the middle of the party i go over to check on my suit and find that coke has been spilled ALL OVER my WHITE paws. i ran to the bathroom and washed it with hand soap and water and it washed right out. it left literally no residue or stain. i swear my life has never flashed by me that quickly.

My Brain: What was ur fav part? Me: The vid was my fav part My Brain: thats not a pa- Me: shut up im watching another

17:11 *N/A im not sniffing bleach*- Pocari Roo 2019

People see us for only the negative but we're doing this science test that people never does

2:07 “good ol coles barbecue sauce,” As a connoisseur of tasty treats and a verified aussie, I can assure you that coles bbq sauce is among some of “realist of deals” when it comes to condiments belonging in a Bunnings Snag. 🧐 Still not so good with fursuits.

magic mustard and evil ketchup... I guess I never thought of it that way since I always eat them mixed together lol. this was actually a very interesting experiment, and now I know more things to be careful about. I think that you should start another series called "pocari experiments" where you do all kinds of crazy science stuff and experiments on fur to see what works and what doesn't, because there are a lot more things you can do to test this stuff, and I think it would be pretty interesting to watch! it would probably also be kinda fun for you to record those videos

This is definitely one of the coolest videos I've ever seen. As a Fursuit Maker, you need all the knowledge you can get. Thanks for doing this!

Vodka is basically ethanol mixed with water. I think it might be viable for cleaning fur if it wasn't subject to drinking-alcohol taxes.

Pocari drenching the fur in mustard pains me physically

Ah yes, i love my *_w e a r a b l e c a r p e t_*

This is really interesting and I don't why

Me: Sees this on my recommended Also me: "Oh yeah..."

This is gonna be interesting!

The 17 people who disliked this probably didn't like some of the fur being ruined

Seeing the ketchup stains and the chocolate stains on the fur hurt me on the inside.

This must have been such a pain to film and edit for so long! Super helpful though! Also, congratulations on your wedding with Kiba!!!!

My grandmother used to use vodka to remove stains

I appreciate so much that pocari did this experiment! Now I know what to stay away from and what to not have a panic attack over. You should talk about this in a convention panel I’m sure you’ll learn and teach a lot.

POCARI IS BEST FURRY

acetone will eat some plastics. im actually surprised how the fur did in that. i was expecting a molten mass of plastic.

Pocari, this is an AMAZING video!!! You obviously worked so hard on it and it really paid off, it's such a detailed and helpful video! Probably one of my favorites of yours! :3 Keep on being awesome, I love your vids!!

The fur with the ketchup looked like a fursuit that hadn't been brushed in several years xD

Even in swatches it pained me when she drowned them.

This was actually really really fun to watch! Thank you roo!!!

Me: *sees vodka in tumbnhail. Also me: OH YEAH

This was very interesting!!! Great Video, I really enjoyed it! ❤

The 6 dislikes come from the people who got stained fursuits and can't clean them

Thank you for everything you’ve done! I’m making my own fursuit snow because of your videos!! Thank you for being so amazing!

Really awesome video! Totally worth the wait 👍

Great video, super informative. I did notice a minor error tho! When you were first checking the acetone sample, despite describing it as having a really bad texture, your graphic showed the texture as 5 stars

An amazing video as allways! Thank you for this. Now we know what not to do in our fursuits and what not toeat and do while making fursuits.

So happy to see that the video came out! It was worth your time and turned out well pocari! Good job and keep being amazing! :>

This video was more focused on what stains faux fur the worst, and while I know what to avoid to put on my suit, I’d love to watch a similar video on what cleans faux fur the best ! I know you already made a video on that subject, but seeing you test recommended cleaning routines would be awesome. Like various isopropyl/water ratios, carpet cleaner brands, brush types and techniques, laundry detergents, etc. If that would be too complicated to do, maybe you could just make a video reviewing several kinds of fursuit shampoo that are sold in the fandom. Thank you for your dedication, this video was awesome to watch !

i absolutely LOVED how well you documented and prepared your experiment, hell, you covered almost everything needed for a professional scientific paper! Also im curious as to what percent the ethanol you used was at? It's interesting to see how much 100% ethanol and 70% or lower differ, so they could have different results.

How did i not see this?!?! Such a good video!! Not only that, the effort and time!!! Please people support this roo!!!!❤❤❤

Very interesting episode! More experiments would be great!

This video turned out great, thanks Pocari 🤗

This is so great since I am planning on getting my own suit one day! Love your videos btw 💙

What a wonderful and fascinating episode! Thank you so much for all the work that you put into this experiment, it was really neat!

Thanks for this experiment, this will help suiters and suit makers everywhere !!!

I love you Pocari Roo!! Cause you inspired me to make my own fursona and I gust love you so much thank you

Amazing ( the more you know) ty for making this video now I know what to say away from the most!

My friend: what r u doing . Me: here takeing a sciese class with Pocari Roo :^v

Of corse the video was released right before everyone had to go to school XD but I loved this and good job for the hard work pocari ^v^

youre doing gods work. thank you!!

this really helped!!! never in my life have i used fur or ever touched a fursuit so i hope all this information gets i my head before i start! im quite suprised about the choclate!

16:35 It feels like a French fry. 5 stars, French fry’s are awesome!

Thank you for informing me for the future when I get a suit

Its amazing how well the intro changes from real to edit water

This video was very interesting.

Hi pocari!

Grate idea for a video pocari science is so much fun

Making this video must have been a terribly long and painful process. You relay need to respect the effort that Pocari goes to to give us quality content.

I like that it showed what they are at the top good job girl

This really helps my confidence with washing suits. I was very paranoid about that so I wasn't sure I wanted the responsibility of making one anymore.

this was certainly an interesting video! As someone who doesnt have a fursuit its gives me a much better idea on what to avoid if i do get one

Tks for doing this video

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

It's nice to see an Australian KZfaq fursuiter since I too am from Australia! Go Aussies!!

Excellent choice in background music, I bet Stormi the Folf liked it XD

Loved this video, even though watching all these pieces of fur get covered in all these different items, it sure gave me anxiety lol. But it was very satisfying.

okay,now i have to make a list off this to hang up somwhere and maybe a should test a few out

Thanks for the video! 💙💜

This is good to know thanks for giving us ideas

grate job on this vidreo Pocari Roo

"mustard is magic and ketchup is the devil" totally agree pocari, totally agree

WOAH! The way you say “vinegar” is like actually really cool omg

Was looking forward to this video way to go Pocari roo

Thanks for doing this science experiment Pocari! Definitely learned some interesting things!also I can confirm mustard is terrifying I've absolutely ruined regular clothes with it.. couldn't imagine a fursuit. (Good thing my main suit is yellow aha)

I like how the carpet power bottle have a brush on it if u clean out the bottle throughly u could make a decent disinfectant spray bottle

Acetone melts plastics so wasnt suprised. Also for the essential oils dawn dish soap is best to use as a first cleaner then spot clean, also most sodas are used for getting out tough stains specially club soda.
