You’ll ruin it! If you get something on it, wipe it off with a damp cloth. If you can’t get it off, take the jacket to the cleaners and let them clean it right.
You can wash a down jacket at home. Do it on cold water gentle and then dry on fluff or very low heat, the way you’d dry a sweater. You can dry if flat if you need to, but putting it in the dryer will fluff up the down.
You can get a home dry-cleaning kit that works in your dryer. It smells funny, but it works.
I heard that you were only supposed to machine wash down-filled clothing in a front loading washer. Something about the post in the center of a top loader beating the down pockets up too much.
They make special detergent just for things that have down in them. My mom always did it right in the regular washer.
Cold water in any type washer
dry with a tessis ball for fluff
Well, i washed my down jacket and all the feathers are stuffed into the corners looks like it is RUINED. Is there any way to fix this total mistake???
My jacket came with instructions to wash. They say tumble dry several times on medium heat with 6 tennis balls and the down will fluff up again. I have not tried it yet.
Drying with tennis balls is what i do. It will fluff it right back up!
