you can also add tennis balls in the dryer which helps puff the down back up

Bit conflicting with the actual garment labels that say 30deg...i just bought a pretty much brand new rab down gillet on vinted for £40 and currently in the wash now on delicate setting using the nikwax down cleaner... As long as it comes out fine ive got my self a right bargain... 😊

Recently washed my son’s down jacket, and I used regular washing detergent and just washed it regularly. You mentioned in this vid to make sure rinse it for more times to make sure no leftover washing detergent from the down. Wondering if I should go back to rinse the jacket few more times in clean water?

[@BoronAlloy]

Don’t use regular washing products, use pure soapflake instead. Extra rinse cycle to be sure all detergent is gone, especially if you intend to then use a wash-in proofer, to add DWR to the jacket.

Just followed the washing instructions and destroyed mine

How could you do that. Highly doubt you followed label

[@WalksInTheCity-bl5mi]

@@chefgav1 You highly doubt that I followed the label! how rude are you? Others have posted the same outcome with their jacket after washing and after doing a quick internet search it seems it's quite common with feather jackets, next time take the trouble to inform yourself more before you highly doubt anyone!

Hi, I followed your instructions, but I didn't have access to a dryer, so I dried it hanging down. The feathers have clumped all over the jacket. How can I fix it, please?

[@LSWUK]

Hi. Were you able to resolve the issue. I'm thinking about buying a down jacket, but seems like hard work to maintain.

[@palomaetienne]

Not yet😅 I have to go to my sister's house as she has a drier, and thinking of briving my niece or nephew with my hard earned cash to do the little small fingers job of separating thw feather balls, hehe 😂 Or perhaps, if they are not interested, pay Raab to do it professionally. It's a bit of a hassle, to be honest Having said that, I love down jackets, they are awesome!@@LSWUK

[@prodlowd]

Only hard to maintain if you wash it incorrectly ​@@LSWUK

[@JoeRomano-s8g]

​@@prodlowd but what's the correct way of washing it?

Given the ‘ruined mine’ comments I was a bit nervous because mine says ‘do not tumble dry’. Still, 30 degrees delicate wash with diluted detergent and no conditioner. Dried on low heat 30min setting giving it a thorough shake from all angles and repeating until dry, it’s come up good as new! One thing to be aware of is I nearly chose ‘gentle’ setting on tumble dryer which is a mistake. It turns out gentle means low agitation BUT high temperature! Refer to the manual for a low heat setting (often expressed in low time increments ((10m/30m)). My thanks!

[@newpatchincoming6574]

Thanks for this

[@Katrinabuttles827]

I’ve done this before it just ruined the coat, better to dry clean don’t wash your coat in the washer .

[@JoeRomano-s8g]

Dry clean won't kill bacteria buildup

[@stephaniezrim3196]

Mine says don't dry clean. They use chemicals
