Proper care is crucial to maintain the longevity and insulating properties of your down jacket. Always refer to the specific care label inside your jacket for precise instructions. The following are general guidelines for down-filled polyester jackets:
Preparation: Close all zippers and fasteners. Turn the jacket inside out or place it in a large mesh laundry bag.
Washing: Use a front-loading washing machine (top-loaders with agitators can damage down). Use a mild, down-specific detergent. Wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clump the down.
Rinsing: Run an extra rinse cycle to ensure all detergent is removed.
Drying: This is the most critical step. Tumble dry on low heat with several clean tennis balls or dryer balls. The balls will help break up clumps of down and restore loft. This process can take several hours. Periodically remove the jacket, fluff it by hand, and ensure the down is evenly distributed and completely dry to prevent mildew.
Storage: Store your jacket in a cool, dry place, ideally hanging on a wide hanger, or loosely folded in a breathable storage bag. Avoid compressing it for long periods.
