Precautions for cleaning down jackets
1. Use a hot towel to wipe the dirty parts
If you clean your down jacket once, its lifespan will be reduced once, so wash it as little as possible. If it is only partially dirty, it is best to wipe it with a hot towel. Just put a few drops of neutral laundry detergent or hand washing detergent on the dirty area, and wipe it dry with a hot and wet towel after 5 minutes to remove the stain.
2. Do not use washing powder for cleaning
The PH value of soap and ordinary washing powder is around 11, which is highly alkaline and can easily destroy the fat protective film on the fiber surface. It shortens the service life of down jackets, so it is best to choose a specialized cleaning agent to clean down jackets.
3. Do not use too high water temperature
Soak the down jacket in cold water for 20 minutes to fully moisten the inside and outside of the down jacket, and then mix the special detergent into the warm water. Then soak the down jacket in warm water. The water temperature must not be too high, around 30°C. You should also use warm water for rinsing.
