Down jackets are important warm clothing in cold seasons. In order to extend their service life and maintain their thermal effect, correct maintenance is very important. The following is some common sense about down jacket maintenance, especially how to prevent compression deformation:
1. Avoid squeezing during storage: Down jackets should be stored in a dry place , ventilated place, avoid squeezing for a long time. Long-term squeezing will cause down to lose its elasticity and lead to deformation. If there is not enough storage space, you can choose a larger wardrobe or use hangers to hang your down jackets.
2. Dry regularly: Down jackets will become uncomfortable due to body temperature, moisture and odor after being worn for a period of time. We can choose the appropriate weather and dry the down jacket in a ventilated place, which will help remove sweat stains, odors and moisture, and at the same time restore the elasticity inside the down jacket. Remember not to expose it directly to the sun to avoid discoloration of the down.
3. Routine cleaning: It is recommended to clean down jackets once every six months. During the cleaning process, you must choose a professional down jacket cleaning agent. Avoid using chemicals such as ordinary laundry detergent and bleach to avoid damaging the down and fabric. At the same time, clean your down jacket correctly according to the cleaning agent instructions, and be careful not to rub it excessively to avoid damaging the down structure.
4. Selection of drying method: After cleaning the down jacket, it must be dried in time. You can choose to air dry naturally or tumble dry at low temperature. During the drying process, you can add a few drying balls or white towels to help the down quickly restore its fluffiness. Avoid drying at high temperatures to avoid hardening, deforming or discoloring the down.
5. Beat before storage: Before storing the down jacket, remember to gently beat or pat the down jacket to restore the fluffy state of the down jacket. This prevents the down from clumping and also improves the thermal insulation effect of the down.
6. Avoid contact with liquids: Down jackets will lose their thermal insulation effect when exposed to water and may cause odor. Avoid contact with liquids during daily wear and storage, especially oil, drinks, etc., which may penetrate into the fabric and cause deformation.
7. Avoid severe mechanical friction: When using down jackets, try to avoid severe mechanical friction and tearing to avoid damaging the fabric and down filling.
In short, proper maintenance of down jackets can extend their service life and maintain good thermal insulation effect. Pay attention to avoid extrusion and deformation during storage, regularly dry, clean and dry, shake before storage, avoid liquid contact and severe mechanical friction, etc. are all important points for maintaining down jackets. I hope the above tips can be helpful to you.
