How Can I Wash My Jacket at Home?

Published in Laundry 1 min read

You can wash your jacket at home by using your washing machine with the right settings and detergent.

Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Prepare the Jacket:

    • Empty all pockets.
    • Close all zippers and buttons to prevent damage during the wash cycle.
  2. Choose the Right Detergent:

    • Add your chosen detergent to the dispenser.
  3. Select the Correct Wash Cycle:

    • Crucially, select a cold, low-spin cycle. Options like the handwash or delicate setting are ideal. The low spin is key to maintaining the fit and finish.
  4. Wash the Jacket:

    • Start the washing machine and allow it to run through the selected cycle.
  5. Extra Rinse (If Needed):

    • If your jacket has heavy buildup of dirt or detergent, select an extra rinse cycle.
  6. Drying:

    • Air dry is generally recommended. Avoid high heat in a dryer, as it can damage the fabric or insulation. You can tumble it on low or no heat to help fluff it up after air drying if the care label allows.
