Care Instructions
Proper care is crucial for maintaining the loft, warmth, and lifespan of your down and feather-padded jacket. Always refer to the specific care instructions on the product label for the most accurate guidance. General care tips for down jackets often include:
- Washing: Machine wash on a delicate cycle with cold water, using a specialized down detergent. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to break up clumps of down and restore loft. Drying can take several hours, and the jacket must be completely dry to prevent mildew.
- Storage: Store the jacket uncompressed in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging it on a thin hanger for extended periods, as this can affect the down distribution. For long-term storage, a breathable garment bag is ideal.
- Spot Cleaning: For small stains, gently spot clean with a mild soap and damp cloth.
- Professional Cleaning: Consider professional dry cleaning for stubborn stains or if you're unsure about home washing.
