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:
-
Prepare the Jacket:
- Empty all pockets.
- Close all zippers and buttons to prevent damage during the wash cycle.
-
Choose the Right Detergent:
- Add your chosen detergent to the dispenser.
-
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.
-
Wash the Jacket:
- Start the washing machine and allow it to run through the selected cycle.
-
Extra Rinse (If Needed):
- If your jacket has heavy buildup of dirt or detergent, select an extra rinse cycle.
-
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.
