Winter is coming, and we all have to put on heavy down jackets. However, the most likely places for down jackets to get dirty are the cuffs and neckline. If you go to a dry cleaner to clean it, it is expensive, and it is very cumbersome to clean it at home. Today I will teach you a quick way to clean down jackets, so let's take a look.
In winter, the cuffs of a down jacket are the most likely place to get dirty. First, prepare a clean, wet towel and wipe the dirty areas of the cuffs a few more times. After wiping, squeeze a section of toothpaste into the cuff and apply evenly with your fingers. Toothpaste has an abrasive effect that softens and removes stains.
Next, prepare a container, pour in an appropriate amount of white vinegar, a drop of dish soap and warm water, and stir well. Dip a toothbrush into the mixture and gently scrub the cuffs. Finally, wipe it down with a clean, damp towel and blow dry it with a hair dryer. In this way, our cuffs are cleaned and ready to wear.
Down jackets that are washed in this way are very convenient and do not need to go to the dry cleaner again. However, the washed down jacket may become flat and no longer fluffy. This is because it uses immature feathers. And a down jacket that doesn't smell is still fluffy and comfortable.
Sometimes, down jackets have problems with odor and sagging after washing, and this is because they use immature feathers. Clothes made with mature and high-quality feathers that are odorless and fluffy after washing.
To solve this problem, you can use the following methods.
Prepare a basin of warm water (not too hot) and add an appropriate amount of alcohol to sterilize and disinfect. Then add an appropriate amount of white vinegar, which can not only sterilize but also remove odor.
Then pour in dish soap, which has a strong ability to remove grease stains. If a down jacket cleaner is available, it can also be used. Wet the down jacket completely, soak for about 15 minutes, and then wash it off.
Finally, rinse several times with clean water until the water becomes clear. Now, we can add toilet water to the water and put the dehydrated down jacket in it and soak it for about 10 minutes.
Smell the down jacket, there is a faint aroma of floral water. Then put it in the washing machine to dehydrate and dry. The treated down jacket is no longer odorous and saggy, and it is fluffier than before.
