In cold winter, down jacket is a good helper for people to keep warm. Many people like to wear down clothes, but not everyone knows how to clean down clothes. Today, Xiaobian will teach you some tips on down jacket cleaning. Will the machine cleaning of down jacket explode?
Down jacket + washing machine = explosion?
People who saw the news said they would never wash down clothes with washing machine again, which is not necessary. In fact, not all washing machines can wash down clothes. At present, there are washing machines with down clothes washing procedures. However, before cleaning down jacket, people must read the product manual to see if it can be machine washed.
Second, it depends on the type of washing machine at home. There are three kinds of washing machines commonly used in the family: old-fashioned double cylinder washing machine (semi-automatic), single cylinder full-automatic washing machine and drum washing machine. The washing machine with wave wheels (especially the old one) is more prone to accidents. It's better not to use it to clean down clothes.
Cleaning skills of down jacket
Careful people will find that there is a small label on the inside of the down jacket, indicating the maintenance and washing methods. Hand wash is recommended for most down coats.
Skill 1: local cleaning
If the down jacket is only partially dirty, there is no need to wash the whole down. Just drop a few drops of detergent in the dirty place, or spray the special down washing clothes, then wipe them with a wet towel and dry them. If it's not clean, you can wash it again.
Skill 2: whole piece cleaning
If you wear it for a long time, there are many stains on the down jacket, only the whole one is cleaned.
1. First use warm water and a small amount of professional down clothes detergent or other neutral detergent to soak the clothes for more than ten minutes.
2. Place the clothes in a flat place, use a soft bristle brush to remove the stains, and pay attention not to rub hard to prevent the down from knotting, and then squeeze out the detergent (pay attention not to screw it out).
3. Don't rub and squeeze hard when rinsing. You can add some vinegar and alkali, so the clothes are not easy to show white marks.
4. After rinsing, press the extruded water and put it in the net pocket to drain. Because there is too much water and heavy weight in the down, it is easy to be deformed by hanging directly in the sun. Wait until there is no water dripping, then hang it in the ventilation place to dry. When you are fast drying, you can use your hand or a small stick to pat gently to restore the natural fluffy state of down.
Do not wash down clothes: do not use alkaline detergent, do not wring with washing machine, do not iron or bake with open fire, do not wash with other clothes, especially white or light down clothes.
Down jacket preservation
After winter, the down jacket will leave the market. How do you store the down jacket?
The right way is: if the closet space is enough, wrap the down jacket with a packing bag with good air permeability, hang it in the closet, and put another sachet or camphor pill to prevent the clothes from mildew and peculiar smell.
If there is not enough space in the wardrobe, the down jacket needs to be folded. Put the sleeves in the pocket, and then fold them in half, so that there will not be too many folds, and the space will be saved. In order to facilitate storage, some brands of down jackets will be presented with compressed bags.
