With the arrival of winter, there is an increasing demand for how to wash down jackets. According to research, using a front-loading washing machine and setting a low-speed spin drying mode can reduce the risk, and some down jackets can be washed in a washing machine, but the right procedure and method need to be chosen. Below, I will answer these questions for you in detail.
First of all, Can a down jacket be washed in a washing machine? Down jackets can be washed in a washing machine, but care needs to be taken to choose the right pattern and detergent. For down jackets, it is better to choose the "down" mode or the "gentle" mode for washing. Before washing, pour the detergent into the water and stir well. Next, place the down jacket in the washing machine and make sure that details such as buttons and zippers are fastened. Then, wash according to the normal washing program. Please make sure not to use more than 1 hour of washing time. Finally, after you have finished washing, wait for the washing machine to drain completely before opening the washing machine door.
