How to clean down jackets and cotton jackets

Cleaning method for cotton coats

1. Please pay attention to the washing instructions on the roll label before cleaning the cotton coat. Generally speaking, it is better to wash cotton coats by hand, and it is not suitable to use a washing machine to wash them, because the twisted washing machine will be made of cotton sheets, which will shorten the life of the cotton coat and will also affect its warmth and comfort. If you want to dry clean, go to a more formal dry cleaner to avoid using inferior medicines in irregular shops to prevent aging.

2. If the cotton coat is not too dirty, first place the cotton coat in the sun for 2-3 hours, gently tap the cotton coat with a small stick, knock out the dust in the cotton coat first, and at the same time, flush a basin of alkaline water or soapy water with warm water, place the cotton coat on the washing board, dip the brush in alkaline water or soapy water, and brush it several times when it is important. After brushing, wipe the clothes with a clean cloth dipped in clean water and wipe off the alkaline water and dirty things. Use clean water until the dirty things on the surface of the clothes are washed, then hang the clothes up and dry and iron them. If you want to make the cotton softer, you can gently pat the cotton coat with a small stick.

3. If the clothes are too dirty, take a basin of alkaline water or soapy water to soak. The soaking time is longer, and it is OK for one or two hours. After soaking, start scrubbing, brushing from the inside to the outside, and wash the clothes with clean water after brushing, dry the washed clothes and then pat gently to make the cotton in the cotton coat softer and more comfortable to wear.

Down jacket cleaning method

Experience 1: Rinse at 30 degrees water temperature

First put the down jacket in cold water and soak for 20 minutes to make the down jacket fully moisturized inside and outside. Dissolve the detergent into 30 degrees warm water, then soak the down jacket in it for a quarter of an hour, and then gently brush with a soft brush. The rinsing also requires warm water, which can facilitate the detergent to be fully dissolved in the water and make the down jacket rinse cleaner.

Experience 2: Be sure to wash by hand

On the inside of the down jacket, there is a small roll label printed with maintenance and washing instructions. Careful people will find that 90% of down jackets indicate that they should be washed by hand, and do not dry cleaning, because the potions used for dry cleaning will affect the warmth and will also age the fabric. The down jacket that is machine washed and dried and twisted can easily lead to uneven thickness of the filling, causing the clothes to be distorted, affecting the beauty and warmth.

Experience 3: It is best to use neutral detergents. Neutral detergents have minimal damage to clothing and down. Use alkaline detergents. If the rinsing is not done, the residual detergent will cause damage to the down jacket and will easily leave white marks on the surface of the clothes, affecting the beauty. To remove residual alkaline detergent, you can add two small spoons of vinegar to warm water after rinsing twice, soak the down jacket for a while and then rinse it. Vinegar can neutralize alkaline washing

Experience 4: The concentration of using washing powder should not be too high

If you must use washing powder to clean the down jacket, it is usually appropriate to put 4 to 5 tablespoons of washing powder in two washbasins. If the concentration is too high, it is difficult to rinse it clean. The residual washing powder in the down will affect the fluffiness of the down and greatly reduce the warmth.

Experience 5: Do not wrinkle the down jacket after washing it, do not wrinkle it. The moisture should be squeezed out, then spread it flat or hung it to dry. It is not allowed to expose it to the sun, and do not iron it to avoid burning the clothes. After drying, you can gently pat it to restore the down jacket to fluffy and soft.
