How To Wash A Down Filled Puffer Jacket?

Washing a down filled jacket can be a bit tricky as it requires special care to maintain the quality of the insulation. Here are the general steps to follow when washing a down filled jacket or sleeping bag.

Check the label

Before washing your down jacket, make sure to check the label for any specific washing instructions. Some jackets may have specific recommendations, such as using a particular type of detergent or avoiding certain cleaning methods.

Pre-treat any stains

If you notice any stains on your down garment, it is best to pre-treat them before washing. Use a mild detergent and water to gently rub the stain until it starts to lift. 

Use a gentle detergent

When washing your down filled product, use a gentle detergent that is designed for delicate fabrics. We recommend specific detergents such as Nikwax down proof bundle. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach as they can damage the down insulation.

Use cold water

Wash your down jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using hot water as it can damage the down insulation.

Rinse thoroughly

After washing, rinse your down product thoroughly to ensure that all the detergent is removed.

Dry carefully

When drying your down jacket, it is important to be gentle. Lay the jacket flat on a clean towel or hang it up to air dry. Avoid using a clothes dryer as the heat can damage the down insulation.

Fluff the jacket

Once your down garment is dry, use your hands to gently fluff the down insulation back into place. Remember that washing aything filled with down feathers can take some time and effort, but it is worth it to maintain the quality and warmth of the insulation.
