Proper care is the key to ensuring that your favorite item will always look as if you just bought it yesterday.

Sooner or later, the time comes when it's time to wash your down jacket. And the main problem is that the fluff can get lumpy and the outerwear will lose its attractive appearance.

To preserve all the qualities of a down jacket when washing, you need to remember several important rules.

5 tips for washing a down jacket

1. For this outerwear, you should always select a delicate cycle with a minimum number of revolutions during spinning.

2. The water temperature should also be minimal. It is better if it is no more than 30 degrees.

3. Gel is preferable to powder. At low temperatures, the granules may not dissolve completely, so stains will remain on the clothes.

4. To ensure that there are no stains left on the fabric, it is worth running a second rinse.

5. Before washing, be sure to fasten all zippers, snaps, and buttons.

Additional advice

Some housewives recommend placing several tennis balls in the washing machine drum.

It is believed that this will prevent the fluff from clumping and ensure its even distribution during washing.
