Instruction manual
1
Wash a windbreaker or jacket from raincoat fabric is not difficult. In this case, buy powder without bleach (if the jacket is colored, pick up the powder for colored fabrics). Set the gentle washing mode on the automatic machine. Put the autumn jacket in the drum and put an additional rinse function, this will help to avoid stains. Dry the item on its shoulders in vivo.
2
Do not wash the autumn jacket from suede in the automatic machine, the thing will be hopelessly spoiled after that. The temperature of the water when washing by hand should be 37 degrees, that is, close to body temperature. Wash the suede jacket very quickly, try not to wet it too much, gently wipe the stained area with a soft sponge. Then quickly rinse the item in lukewarm water and wipe it with glycerin solution (1/2 teaspoon of glycerin per liter of water). This way you keep your suede soft. Do not wring or twist the jacket. Dry on a coat hanger away from batteries and radiators. If spots remain - gently rub them with a pumice stone.

An autumn padded jacket is washed in an automatic machine. The program should be designed exclusively for synthetic fabrics, the temperature regime - not more than 40 degrees. The main advantage of this material is that it does not deform when wet. This is what gives you the opportunity to wash a padding jacket in a machine without fear of spoiling the thing.

The situation is much more complicated with a down jacket. Before washing a thing, fasten it with a zipper (or buttons) and turn inside out. Set the delicate washing mode, the water temperature should be no more than 30 degrees. Use liquid detergents. Put a few tennis balls with the down jacket in the drum of the machine, they will beat the fluff during washing, and it will not fall into lumps.
