How can the down jacket be maintained to prolong its service life and keep warm? Professionals pointed out that if we should pay attention to the cleaning of down jacket at ordinary times, minimize the washing times and place it in a ventilated and dry place, it will be conducive to the maintenance of down jacket.
Storage method of down jacket:
After winter, put down jacket away. Wrap it with breathable articles (such as finishing bags), put a camphor ball in it to prevent moths, and then store it in a ventilated and dry wardrobe. Be careful not to put heavy pressure on it.
There is a lot of rain in summer and autumn. After the rainy season, it's best to take out the down jacket and air it to prevent mildew; If mildew spots are found, wipe them with cotton balls dipped in alcohol, then wipe them with a clean wet towel, and then store them properly after drying. But be careful not to expose to the sun, otherwise the new clothes may fade into old clothes.
Cleaning method of down jacket:
1. The down jacket should not be cleaned too frequently. Generally, it is enough to wash it 2-3 times a year. If it is a light colored down jacket, it can be cleaned locally when it is dirty. If the down jacket is only a little dirty locally, you don't have to clean the whole one. Because ordinary down jacket fabrics are not afraid of water. As long as you drop a few drops of laundry liquid at the dirty place and dry it with a wet towel in a few minutes, you can decontaminate it. If it is not clean, repeat it several times.
2. In the process of cleaning down jacket, in order to avoid the filling material from being eroded by excessive alkaline substances, a small amount of neutral washing powder or detergent can be selected, mixed with warm water at 35 ℃, and the clothes can be completely soaked in the washing solution for 15 minutes; Put the clothes on the washing board or other flat plate placed in the washing basin, brush the dirt successively with a soft brush, and do not rub hard to prevent the down from knotting, and then squeeze out the washing liquid, but do not twist the clothes hard; Put the rinsed down jacket in the net bag to drain water, so as to avoid too much water in the down, too heavy, and deformation during drying. When there is no water dripping, take out the clothes and dry them in a ventilated place, and do not expose them to the sun or bake them. When it is about to dry, it can be gently patted by hand or a small wooden stick to restore the natural fluffy state of the down. At the same time, it is also conducive to the complete drying of the filler and prevent mildew.
In order to avoid soap stains on down jacket fabrics, in addition to properly mastering the concentration of washing solution, after bleaching twice, two tablespoons of vinegar can be put into clean water, which can neutralize the residual washing solution in down jacket.
If the washed down jacket has soap stains, you can wipe it repeatedly with clean cotton dipped in industrial alcohol, and finally wipe it with a hot towel to remove the soap stains.
