A delicate cycle is suitable for washing a down jacket. It wouldn't hurt to set an additional rinse at minimum speed.

Dry the down jacket by putting it on a hanger, but the most important thing is to prevent the filling from forming lumps.

For this, experienced housewives advise steaming the down jacket by laying it out on the sofa. You should move from top to bottom, holding the steamer at a distance of 15-20 cm.
