First of all, let me show you why down jackets keep warm. Everyone knows that animals can safely spend the cold winter with feathers and fluff. This is because fluffy feathers can make the air still, reduce the circulation of air, and reduce the heat taken away by air circulation, thus achieving the effect of keeping warm. Down jacket This is the principle of using the fabric of down jacket and the down inside to reduce the air circulation, so as to achieve the effect of keeping warm.
Down jacket can be washed. Down jackets are mostly filled with duck down or goose down. Neither duck down nor goose down is afraid of water. We often see ducks and geese swimming around in the water, and their feathers are not affected. So why don't everyone's down jackets keep warm after cleaning? Maybe you didn't wash it well I'll teach you how to wash down jackets.
Washing down jackets with washing machine is not recommended, because down jackets are relatively light and generally float on the water, and the cleaning effect is not very good. Moreover, when dehydrated, the down jacket rotates at high speed in the washing machine, which is easy to run down. Down jackets washed many times by the washing machine will have less filler and will not keep warm.
Try not to put too much washing powder and detergent. Too much is not easy to rinse, and not washing will affect the fluffy degree of down jackets, which is an important reason for keeping down jackets warm. In addition, washing powder is alkaline, which may damage fabrics and down. Try to use neutral laundry detergent when washing down jackets.
Drying is also important. You can put the down jacket in a sunny and ventilated place to dry, and remember not to expose it to the sun. Exposure to the sun can easily damage the fabric of down jackets. If your down jacket is lumpy after washing, it may be that the down inside the down jacket is not completely dry. You can put it in a ventilated place to continue drying, and you can often pat the down jacket gently to increase its bulkiness.
