Winter weather is often unpredictable, and the transition from frost to rainy slush leads to the choice of universal clothing suitable for changing climatic conditions. The down jacket has become the favorite clothing of many precisely for this reason.
Like any clothing, a down jacket is prone to contamination. Constantly sending it to the dry-cleaner is inconvenient and expensive for a pocket, and why do it, if it is quite realistic to put things in order at home. Washing these clothes has its own subtleties and rules, but subject to compliance, the thing will acquire the desired purity and at the same time it will not lose shape and there will be no unpleasant stains on the sleeves of the down jacket.
It is worthwhile to immediately warn that an attempt to wash certain parts of a down jacket without using a washing machine is unlikely to end in the absence of stains. Only a double extraction is able to completely remove the liquid, which, when dried, leaves stains on the down jacket fabric.
Preparing a down jacket for washing
First, a down jacket should be prepared for washing. Pockets are emptied and turned out to eject small particles of dust or debris. Then you need to remove the belt and unfasten the fur, and bring all the fasteners and zippers to the closed state. A thorough inspection will help to identify the presence of spots, and if they are, then they must be disposed of before washing.
For this purpose, a stain remover is used, which can be safely used in accordance with the instructions, but if there is no special tool, then it is better to simply stain the contaminated places by hand. If the stains are fatty in origin, you can treat them with dishwashing liquid slightly diluted with water and applied to a soft sponge.
