Sooner or later, everyone thinks about the need to wash their down jacket.

This idea comes when hand washing of cuffs and collars no longer helps. The main thing to remember here is that not every filler can retain its properties after machine washing.

We will tell you how to proceed and which washing program to choose.

Firstly, you can load a down jacket into the drum only if the manufacturer does not prohibit this type of procedure.

In other cases, all responsibility for the washing result falls on the shoulders of the buyer.

Secondly, you need to choose the right program.

It can be called anything, the main thing is that the water temperature is no higher than 30 degrees Celsius, and the spin speed is the lowest.

Third, leave the powder and dishwashing liquid alone.

In delicate cases, it is better to use washing gel. In this case, it would not be superfluous to turn on the additional rinse option.

Otherwise, no one can guarantee that there will be no soap or dirty stains left on the jacket after washing.

Lastly, before loading your jacket, zip up all the fasteners and zippers, turn the jacket inside out and don't forget the laundry balls.
