Washing a down jacket is not so bad – it is much more difficult to dry the clothes quickly and without consequences.
Drying such items has several unpleasant moments. The filling may become bunched up or become saturated with an unpleasant smell.
Housewives were told how to quickly and decisively dry a down jacket after washing without consequences.
First of all, it should be noted that these tips are suitable for drying items that the manufacturer allows you to wash in an automatic washing machine.
In other cases, it will be cheaper and more reliable to go to the dry cleaner.
Tip one: hair dryer
It may not be the most economical method, but warm air will help get your winter jacket in order much faster.
Another positive point is that you can dry the jacket and at the same time straighten the insulation, which after washing will probably lie in lumps and will have to be straightened out.
To dry a down jacket with a hairdryer, squeeze out the water, distribute the filling, zip up the jacket and place it on the table.
Turn on the hair dryer and direct the air inward (through the collar, through the sleeve, etc.).
Be sure to take a break every 3-4 minutes to prevent the hair dryer from overheating.
Then shake the jacket and straighten out the lumps.
You can do roughly the same thing with a vacuum cleaner if it has a blower function.
Tip two: fan
Place the jacket on the dryer in a horizontal position and turn on the fan no further than 20 cm from the jacket.
Every half hour you need to shake and turn the jacket over, adjusting the filling.
This drying method is suitable for those who do not have time to stand for a long time with a hair dryer.
Earlier we talked about how much washing powder you can add when washing.
