First of all, we say that down jackets need to be washed by hand, preferably not in a washing machine. In the down jackets we buy, there will be a small label printed with the ingredients and washing instructions of the down jacket. The small label will basically be printed with hand washing, and other methods of washing will cause damage to the warmth retention of the down jacket and the filling inside.

Secondly, let's talk about the water temperature of the down jacket. It is recommended that the water temperature be between 20-40 °C. First soak the down jacket in water for a quarter of an hour, and press the down jacket with your hands to make it soaked as soon as possible. In addition, you don't need to put too much detergent, it's almost done, and you can gently scrub with a soft brush when washing. The water must be warm when rinsing.

Secondly, after washing the down jacket, we don't screw it tightly by hand, we can squeeze out the water gently by hand, and then dry it, remember not to expose it to the sun!
