Detergent for washing down jackets - why is it better to wash them?

Detergent for washing down jacketsDown jackets are a fairly popular type of winter clothing. For many years, Russians have been using it. And it seems they are not going to stop. Its demand is explained by the fact that it is very convenient, it retains heat well, can be quite inexpensive, and looks pretty nice.

Unfortunately, all clothes get dirty sooner or later. The following areas of things lose their purity especially quickly:

  1. Cloth next to pockets
  2. Sleeve zone
  3. Collar.

A soiled down jacket needs to be washed or dry cleaned. Dry cleaning is more expensive than washing with a home washing machine. And you have to carry the thing somewhere. And then they threw it into the typewriter, they poured detergent, the program was set and rest yourself. It would seem so simple. But if you wash this thing incorrectly, then you may encounter the following problems:

  • The fabric loses its original color
  • Losing its form
  • The fluff crumbles and settles to the bottom of the cells. And then it’s very difficult to bring it back to normal.
  • After washing, white stains remain. This is due to the fact that the down jacket is a rather dense product and the powder from it can be very difficult to wash out when rinsing.

By what means and how to wash a down jacket?

Outerwear detergentsMany housewives have their little secrets for washing particularly contaminated areas of things. Some use for this purpose any means for washing down jackets. For example, you can treat household places with soap. This soap does not so much produce foam. And washed without problems with tap water. This trick will make it possible to remove some types of dirt, greasy stains without machine washing and even without hand washing the whole thing.

We warn that standard laundry detergents and other products are highly undesirable for down jackets. Especially those that are not made on synthetic winterizer or special cotton wool, but on the down and feather of a bird.

Many of these washing products create too much foam. This is the reason that all the powder is not washed out of the fabric. In order to at least rinse the powder, you have to start the rinse mode three times. It is said that when using conventional types of powders, only the upper part of the contaminants is removed. And what was inside does not go anywhere and remains there.

To soften the water, many housewives and householders use various auxiliary detergents. That is, a variety of fabric softeners. It is believed that when using these funds, the down jacket dries much faster. On its surface does not appear stains from washing powder. And besides, an unusual and rather pleasant aroma appears.

Do not use those that contain bleach to wash the down jacket.

Their use will lead to the fact that the down jacket will begin to lose its original color. If the area of ​​the sleeves, the collar or other small parts of this type of clothing is dirty, then you can not wash the whole thing, but use a partial hand wash with a stain remover and a brush.

By the way, it is advisable to use special PVC balls for washing down jackets. They will not only prevent the fluff from crumpling in the cells, but also help to knock the detergent out of the fabric during rinsing. It is recommended to use 3-4 pieces of such balls. They are simply put in the drum of the washing machine along with a down jacket.

Despite the use of such tricks, many people advise using a double rinse to make sure that the fluff has not absorbed particles of the product used.
