A down jacket is warm, cozy, and perfect for cold weather. But when it gets dirty, many people feel unsure about how to clean it without ruining it. Don\u2019t worry\u2014cleaning your down jacket at home is easier than you think. Follow these 5 easy tips to clean your down jacket safely and keep it fluffy and fresh.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

1. Always Read the Care Label First<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Before you do anything, check the\u00a0care label<\/strong>\u00a0inside your\u00a0down jacket<\/a>. It tells you how to wash it properly. Some jackets can be machine washed, while others might need special care. Follow those instructions to avoid damage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

2. Use a Front-Loading Washing Machine<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If your down jacket is machine-washable, use a\u00a0front-loading washing machine<\/strong>. Top-loading machines with agitators can be too rough and may tear the fabric or feathers. Use a\u00a0gentle cycle<\/strong>\u00a0with\u00a0cold water<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

3. Pick the Right Detergent<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Use a\u00a0mild detergent<\/strong>\u00a0made for down or delicate clothes. Regular detergent can strip the natural oils from the feathers and make the jacket lose its warmth. You can also buy special\u00a0down wash<\/strong>\u00a0products online or in stores.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

4. Rinse Well\u2014Twice if Needed<\/strong><\/h3>\n

After washing, rinse the jacket well. Leftover soap can stick to the feathers and clump them together. A\u00a0second rinse cycle<\/strong>\u00a0is a good idea to make sure all detergent is gone.<\/p>\n

5. Dry It Slowly (And Fluff It Up!)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Drying is the most important part! Use a\u00a0dryer on low heat<\/strong>. Throw in a few\u00a0clean tennis balls<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0dryer balls<\/strong>\u00a0to help break up clumps and fluff the feathers. This helps bring your down jacket back to its puffy shape. Drying may take a couple of hours, so be patient!<\/p>\n
