Surely each of you has a favorite jacket in which you feel cozy and comfortable.
But over time, your favorite jacket loses its original appearance due to various contaminants: dust, sweat, rain, etc.
In order to keep your jacket in its original condition, you need to know how to wash it properly. This instruction describes in detail how to wash a jacket at home.
Check the fabric composition
Before washing your jacket, make sure you know the composition of the fabric. Usually, the information about the composition of the fabric is on the jacket tag.
This is important because different fabrics require different care. For example, jackets made from natural fabrics such as cotton or wool require more careful care than synthetic jackets.
Check the care labels
Most jackets have a care label. This label will tell you whether the jacket is machine washable, what water temperature to use, whether the jacket can be ironed, and so on. This information will help you choose the right washing method.
Prepare your jacket for washing if necessary.
If there are stains or dirt on the jacket, they should be pre-treated.
For this purpose, you can use fabric detergents or liquid soap. You should also make sure that all pockets and zippers are closed to avoid damage during washing.
Choose the right washing mode
If the jacket is machine washable, select the appropriate setting.
It is usually recommended to use the "delicate wash" or "hand wash" mode for jackets. These modes will ensure gentle handling of the jacket fabric.
Make sure you are using the right detergent
For washing jackets, it is better to use special products for delicate fabrics.
Such products gently wash away dirt and do not destroy the structure of the fabric. You should also avoid using bleaches or aggressive detergents, as they can damage the jacket.
After washing, carefully remove the jacket from the machine and shake it gently.
This will help remove excess moisture and prevent creases from forming on the fabric.
Dry the jacket
It is best to dry the jacket on a horizontal surface to avoid stretching the fabric.
If you hang dry your jacket, be sure to use additional shoulder support to avoid deformation of the jacket.
If the jacket is very wrinkled after washing, you can try ironing it.
To do this, use the delicate iron setting and run it through a damp gauze.
Hang the jacket in the closet. Store the jacket on a hanger to avoid creasing and deformation of the fabric.
It's also worth making sure that the jacket is completely dry before hanging it in the wardrobe.
By following these simple instructions, you can keep your favorite jacket looking new for years to come.
Remember that proper care of your jacket not only extends its lifespan, but also allows you to stay stylish and well-groomed in any weather.
