How to wash and dry your down jacket - product care

[@kevins924]

Shoud I use a normal detergen or down specific detergen for synthetic insulated jacket?

[@Sad_Bumper_Sticker]

For my old down jacket (has no water resistant layer) I used a delicate liquid detergent for wool but they already have fabric softener. For goretex only goretex dedicated washing products

Hi guys…I’ve washed my jacket and it’s flat as a pancake..I can’t get access to tumble dryer at moment …will this matter?I can do it tomorrow

Hi @anitagoodsleep5330, thanks for the question! You do recommend re-washing your jacket prior to drying if it's been a day or two since you originally washed it. If you don't have access to wash again before drying, it's definitely still worth trying the dry cycle to see if the down dries properly. If it doesn't seem to come 'back to life' and puff up after a proper dry cycle, we recommend starting over with a wash and immediate tumble dry following the wash.

Will the agitator ruin my north face highrail jacket

Potentially, it could be damaging. If the jacket is of the thinner type, you can fold it, and place inside a large garment wash bag. That’ll prevent direct contact with the agitator, thereby limiting the likelihood of damage.
