How should down jackets be cleaned?

In the winter cold-resistant army, in addition to the "autumn johns" that mothers always say they should remember to wear, Down Jackets are the main force among the main forces. How do you wash yourdown jackets? Never put them directly into the washing machine, stop your sinful hands! This will not only make it difficult to dry, but also affect the warmth retention of The Down Jacket. Here is a super complete down jacket washing and care collection for you!

1. Conventional washing method

Step 1. First, the down jacket should be completely immersed in cold water for 20 minutes until the down jacket is completely wet.

Step 2. Take 30 degrees Celsius warm water, add an appropriate amount of detergent, stir well, and then soak the down jacket for about 15 minutes.

Step 3. After taking the down jacket out of the water, lay it flat on a clean table, and gently brush it with a soft brush dipped in detergent, brushing it gently from the inside to the outside.

Step 4. Soak the down jacket in the clean water just now. While soaking, you can gently pinch the down jacket, especially where there are stains.

Step 5. After the down jacket is cleaned, rinse it with clean water and rinse the detergent thoroughly (after rinsing, you can add two spoons of vinegar to warm water and soak the down jacket for a while to fully remove the detergent on the down jacket).

Step 6. Down jackets cannot be dehydrated in a washing machine. Squeeze the water directly down the down jacket so that it will not deform. If the sun is not sufficient, it can be exposed to the sun for 2 hours. When the sun is hot, just put the down jacket in a cool and ventilated place to prevent the sun from discoloring the down jacket.

Pay attention to the following points:

1. Down jackets must not be washed in a washing machine, which can easily cause the filling in the down jacket to flow away.

2. The detergent used should preferably be non-irritating and special detergent, which can better protect the down jacket.

3. If the down jacket has a fur collar, take off the fur collar and wash it separately.

4. Down jackets must not be exposed to the sun, which will shorten their lifespan. Just dry them in a cool place.

5. Everyone knows that down jackets tend to clump when exposed to water, which will reduce the warmth retention effect. After drying, gently patting the down jacket will make it fluffier and softer. The thickness of the fluffy down can accumulate air, that is, the higher the fluffiness of the down, the more air can be accumulated, and the better the warmth retention effect. If you are wearing a HZWINCOME thermal down jacket, you can save a lot of worry about restoring the fluffiness.

In addition to being light and warm, the water-repellent goose down used in the Thermal 1000 Om 3D thermal down jacket is not easy to clump when exposed to water, and maintains high warmth retention for a long time.

In addition to cleaning, maintenance is equally important. Down jackets are just like our skin. If they are well maintained, they can achieve "delayed aging". Remember the following two points, and you won't be afraid to wear them for another ten years!

1. Drying: Down jackets should be dried in a ventilated and dry environment. In order to avoid exposure to the sun when the sun is strong, you can choose to use a dryer with a larger capacity. Keep the drying temperature low and allow the down jacket to have enough space to turn over. After drying, continue to shake the down jacket and gently pat the down gathering place to make the down completely stretch out. Put it in the wardrobe after it is restored to its original state.

2. Storage: For daily storage, please try to choose a dry and cool environment. When storing down jackets, do not fold them to avoid squeezing the down into balls. It is best to hang the down jacket for storage. Long-term compression will cause the down or thermal insulation layer to lose elasticity and reduce the thermal insulation performance. If it is not used for a long time, it is recommended to sort out the down jacket once in a while to make it completely stretch out and air dry.
