Care Instructions
Proper care is crucial for maintaining the loft, warmth, and longevity of your down-filled coat. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions, as variations may exist.
General Care Guidelines:
- Washing:
- If machine washable (check label), use a front-loading washing machine on a gentle, cold cycle with a specific down-friendly detergent. Avoid harsh detergents and fabric softeners, as they can damage the down's natural oils.
- Wash with similar colors. Close all zippers and fasteners before washing.
- Drying:
- Tumble dry on low heat with two or three clean tennis balls or dryer balls. These help to break up down clumps and restore the coat's loft, preventing flatness.
- Drying can take several hours. Periodically remove the coat and fluff it by hand to redistribute the down evenly. Ensure the coat is completely dry to prevent mildew.
- Spot Cleaning: For small stains, gently spot clean the affected area using a mild soap and damp cloth. Avoid rubbing vigorously, which can spread the stain.
- Storage: When not in use, store the coat uncompressed in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging it in direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Using a breathable garment bag can help protect it from dust and maintain its shape.
