Down jacket can be regarded as the necessary clothes in winter at home, and it is warm, comfortable and light, but it is always not easy to clean it. If it is not cleaned properly, it may cause certain damage to the clothes, and after drying, there will be ugly white stains. No matter how dry, there are always many cases. However, we can see the washing label of some down jackets, and many of them are not It can be dry cleaned, which may have an impact on the warmth retention of the clothes.

Soak down the down jacket for 5-10 minutes, and rub it roughly. When drying, pay attention to pressing your hands against the grain and hang it to dry.
Local cleaning: if the down jacket is only partially dirty, it is unnecessary to clean the whole coat. Because the general down jacket fabric is not afraid of water, as long as in the dirty place drops a few drops of collar clean or detergent, a few minutes later with a wet towel can be decontaminated. If it's not clean, repeat it a few more times.
Whole cleaning: in order to avoid excessive alkali erosion of filling materials, a small amount of neutral detergent or detergent can be selected, mixed with 35 ℃ warm water, and the clothes are completely immersed in the washing liquid for 15 minutes; Put the clothes on the washing board or other plates in the washing basin, and brush the dirt with a soft brush in turn. Do not rub them hard to prevent the down from knotting. Then squeeze out the washing liquid, but do not twist the clothes; The rinsed down jacket should be put in the net pocket to drain water, so as to avoid excessive moisture in the down, too much weight, and deformation during drying. When there is no water dripping, take out the clothes and put them in a ventilated place to dry. Do not expose them to the sun or bake them. When it is about to dry, you can pat it gently with your hand or a small wooden stick to restore the natural fluffy state of down.
In order to avoid soap stains on the down jacket fabric, in addition to properly controlling the concentration of the washing solution, after bleaching twice, two small spoons of vinegar can be put into the water, which can neutralize the residual detergent in the down jacket. But it must be noted that the water with vinegar must be warm water, so that the washing liquid in the down jacket will be fully dissolved in the water. If the washed down jacket has soap stains, you can use clean cotton dipped in industrial alcohol to wipe repeatedly, and finally wipe with a hot towel, the soap stains can be removed.
Remove odor
Step 1: soak thoroughly. Add detergent or silk wool detergent to 20 degrees Celsius in warm water, then drop a few drops of perfume and soak down down for 20 minutes.
Step 2: pinch in the water. 1) A lot of air in the down jacket is squeezed out by water. 2) Use both hands in the water to grasp the various parts of the down jacket, until knead clean, or brush. 3) Empty most of the water, and then put it into clean water for several times until it is completely poured. 4) Mix the softener in water and soak the down jacket for several minutes.
Step 3: air drying. 1) Put the down jacket in the net pocket and dry the water. 2) Lay the down jacket flat on the table to dry. 3) Dry with a dryer. 4) Put it in a special laundry bag and dry it in the shade.

Choose the way
Through the above sharing of the basic concepts, the next down jacket will tell you the way to choose down jacket.
1. Smell the smell of down jacket, if you find pungent or smelly, ignore it directly. It has been explained that the reason why goose down is more expensive than duck down is that goose down is tasteless, while duck down is delicious. But as I have mentioned before, the processing method of duck down and goose down is the same. The down with flavor (whether it is goose down or duck down) is unqualified products, so you can't buy them.
2. To see whether the basic information marked on the tag of down jacket is complete, mainly including down content, down filling amount, down type and manufacturer's basic information, but generally does not contain the information of fluffy degree, you can directly consult the shopping guide.
3. Feel the inner layer of the down jacket carefully. If you feel that it is prickly, it means that there is a high content of feathers in this garment (for specific reasons, please refer to the concept of "down" above), and the quality should not be very good. If you don't feel prickly or prickly, it means that the clothing has relatively high cashmere content and good warmth retention.
4. Next, you can put several down coats you like together and press the surface of the clothes with the same force. The faster the rebound time is, the better the quality of the down jacket (indicating high puffiness). For the same down filling amount of down jacket, the larger the volume (that is, the more fluffy the down jacket), the better the quality.
5. Finally, take a hard pat on the down jacket. If there is fluff or dust, it indicates that the fabric of the down jacket has poor down resistance or the stitching needle hole is too large. Such down jacket will pass through the down jacket, and the waterproof and air permeability will not be good. It is not recommended to buy this kind of down jacket.
The author here to share the physical store in the selection of down jacket door. For online shopping, especially for overseas shopping, I think the most important thing is to see the relevant parameters of down jacket and other users' evaluation. But I feel that my online shopping is not really online shopping in the real sense - I will conduct offline research first, rather than decide to place an order based on the information introduced online. So if you have rich online shopping experience, that is, through online text and picture data, no physical investigation to find the desired down jacket, the author very welcome you to follow the post exchange!
Purchase mistakes
1. The higher the cashmere content, the better?
According to the national regulations, the down content in down jacket should not be less than 50%. But usually people think that clothes with higher down content are more warm. This is not a completely correct statement: first of all, the down content of a long down jacket is comparable to that of a down vest of the same type. In fact, 80% down and 90% down of the same type of down jacket thermal effect is not very obvious, generally 70% - 80% down content down jacket has met the requirements of most people.
2. The thicker the down jacket, the warmer it is?
Down filling refers to the total weight of all down filled in down jacket, which is related to the size, length and style of the clothes. But what needs to be reminded is not that the more down is filled and the heavier the clothes are, the more warm the down jacket will be. Because with the increase of filling density, the loss of heat through the filler increases. As mentioned above, improving the puffiness of down filler is the key to improve the thermal insulation. With the same amount of down filling, the higher the puffiness is, the more insulating air the down contains, so the better the thermal insulation performance is. This is also on the market some light down jacket, the warm effect is also very good reason. Some down garments with more down filling content are mixed with feather silk, down silk and crushed wool. Even if the down content is the same, the fluffy degree will decrease.
3. The softer the down jacket, the better?
In fact, it is normal for high-quality down to contain a certain limit of small feather stalks. If the feel is particularly soft and the stem is not touched at all, such products should also be purchased with caution. Because some manufacturers will be the leftovers of down jacket, fluffy cotton, feather broken, filled in the clothes, as down to deceive consumers. Not only can not achieve good thermal effect, sanitation may not be up to standard.
4. White down is warmer than gray down, goose down is warmer than duck down?
The selection of white duck down and grey duck down for down jacket is determined by the color of clothing fabric. Generally speaking, white duck down is selected for light fabric color, and gray duck down is used as filler for deep color. Some businesses claim that goose down will be warmer than duck down when it is filled into down jacket. In fact, goose down and duck down have almost the same warmth retention.
Down is so far the best natural material for human warmth. After washing, drying and grading, it is made into down jacket. Compared with man-made materials, Down's heat retention capacity is three times that of ordinary man-made materials.
