How to Treat your DunnsGaard Down Jacket？

#1. Preparation Before Washing

-   Check the Label  : Always follow the manufacturer’s care instructions.
-    Zip and Button Up  : Before washing, zip up all zippers and fasten any buttons to avoid damage and distortion.
-   Spot Clean Stains  : Use a damp cloth or soft brush to gently remove any stubborn stains from the surface before washing.

#2. Washing Steps

-   Use a Mild Detergent  : Opt for a specialized down detergent or a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or strong alkaline cleaners.
-   Water Temperature  : Use cold water or water under 30°C (86°F) to avoid damaging the down filling.
-   Hand Wash or Gentle Cycle   : If machine washing, use a gentle cycle and wash the jacket alone, adding towels or laundry balls to minimize agitation.
-   Thorough Rinsing  : Make sure to rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent, as residue can affect the loft and insulation of the down.

#3. Drying Steps

-    Spin Dry  : Use the washing machine’s low spin cycle, but don’t over-spin, as this can clump the down.
-   Air Dry  : Lay the jacket flat or hang it to dry in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat.
-   Low Heat Tumble Dry  : If using a dryer, set it to low heat and add clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help restore the loft of the down.
-   Regularly Fluff the Jacket  : As the jacket dries, gently fluff it to redistribute the down and restore its fluffiness.

#4. Additional Tips

- Avoid washing the jacket too frequently to preserve its longevity.
- For deep cleaning or large stains, consider professional dry cleaning services.

By following these steps, your down jacket will maintain its warmth, comfort, and durability over time.
