However as many people have found,although down is a wonderful filling for a warm snuggly winter jacket,it isn't the easiest to clean.A down jacket is fine when it's clean,but when it's dirty and needs a little loving care and attention to clean it it becomes a bit of a problem.So how do you go about cleaning that beautiful down jacket that you've had for a while and is just a little dirtier than you'd like,and perhaps not as warm as it's been in the past?Here are some tips for you to clean down coats and jackets.
Select the delicate cycle on your washing machine.Fill with cold water and add mild detergent to the washer.You can purchase detergent designed for washing down fabrics,but if you are unable to find this type of product,any mild detergent will do. Place the jacket in the washer and allow to wash and spin dry.
Remove the jacket and shake gently to remove excess water.The outer layer may be resistant to water that may not be removed during spinning. Hold above the washer and allow to drip if excess water remains.Place in the dryer with 2 clean tennis balls.You can also use a clean tennis shoe for this.The balls will help the down fluff as it dries.Dry on low heat and check the jacket every 10 minutes to prevent overheating.Shake and fluff the jacket and continue to dry until the jacket is completely dry.
Tips & Warnings
Wash in a front-load washer that does not have an agitator,if possible.Add a large dry towel to the dryer to absorb moisture and speed drying.Dry down jackets on the line on a sunny dry day and fluff in the dryer.Avoid high heat as this may damage your jacket.Always read the washing instructions on your particular jacket.
