How to Use Grangers Down Wash
Grangers Down Wash is specifically designed to clean down-filled items like jackets, sleeping bags, and comforters without damaging the down. Here's how to use it:
- Dosage: Use half a capful (25ml) per wash load for standard sized items. For larger items like a bulky sleeping bag, use a full capful (50ml) or two smaller items, based on the amount of filling. If handwashing, use half a capful.
- Application: Pour the Down Wash directly into your washing machine's detergent drawer. Do not pour it directly onto the garment.
- Washing Cycle: Wash on a full cycle at 30°C/86°F (or follow the care instructions on your garment's label).
- Drying: After washing, tumble dry the item on a low heat setting with two to three clean tennis balls to help fluff the down and prevent clumping. You may need to do several cycles for full drying, depending on the size of the item.
Important Considerations
- Regular Detergent: Grangers Down Wash replaces your regular detergent; do not use both. Using regular detergent can damage the down and reduce its loft.
- Down Specific: This product is specifically formulated for down; do not use it on other materials without checking the product's compatibility guidelines.
- Dirt Removal: Grangers Down Wash is effective at removing dirt and grime from down filled items.
- Safety: Always refer to the Grangers Down Wash product label for complete instructions and safety precautions.
Several sources confirm this method, including Grangers' own product information, online reviews, and forums discussing the product's use. Proper use ensures your down items maintain their loft and warmth.
