No matter how you do it, there are always many situations. Many sisters choose dry cleaning, but some down jackets can be washed. Generally, many clothes cannot be dry-cleaned, which may have a certain impact on the warmth of clothes.
The main component of down is protein. When it is dried in the dry cleaning machine, it is easy to become brittle and broken, and it comes out from the seam of the clothes. This is called running hair.
Let me teach you a washing method. You can easily clean down jackets at home without any white stains. Just pay attention to a few points when washing at home to ensure cleanliness and warmth.
1, bubble
Prepare a pot of warm water, the water temperature is similar to the hand temperature, not too hot, add a proper amount of washing powder, and put the down jacket into the pot 10 minute.
Step 2 brush
Don't rub dirty places with your hands, use a soft brush or a toothbrush.
Step 3 launch
After brushing, don't twist the water out like a twist. Spread the down jacket flat, squeeze out the water along the clothes with both hands, and then rinse it with clear water to wash off the water in the laundry detergent. Attention! Never use a washing machine to dry it, because most down jackets are waterproof and have poor air permeability. When clothes are dehydrated at high speed, they will expand in a short time and generate a lot of heat, which may cause an explosion.
Step 4 soak in vinegar
When cleaning for the second time, it's time to get the hang of it. Drop vinegar into water, and rice vinegar can be eaten at home. Generally, the amount of cooking (such as a bottle cap) is similar, which can reduce the fishy smell of duck down. Soak the down jacket for 5- 10 minutes. Give it a rough rub. When drying, be careful not to twist the water like a twist, and squeeze it with your hand along the grain.
Step 5 dry
Be sure not to be directly exposed to the sun. It is best to put it in a ventilated and cool place to dry.
Step 6 pat
After drying, I found that the clothes were flat and not fluffy. Take it off, lay it flat on the bed and beat it around with a big hanger. Soon you will find that the down jacket has quickly returned to its original clean and soft appearance, without any peculiar smell and ugly white stains!
