The weather is warm, it’s time to store winter clothes. First cleaning is the first step, and it is especially convenient to put it in the washing machine. However, many people wonder whether down jackets can be cleaned in a washing machine. Today, it is up to the down jacket manufacturers to solve your doubts.

1. Will the down jacket explode when washing in the washing machine?

①From the washing machine, due to the uneven placement of the clothes to be dehydrated, the cylinder body is unbalanced during high-speed rotation and collides with the washing machine body, causing the cylinder body and even the body to be broken.

②As far as clothing is concerned, due to the large cavity in the middle of the down jacket, it is easy to enclose gas, and the fabric is dense and not easy to breathe. During dehydration, centrifugal force in a short period of time will make the down jacket swell up like a “blowing balloon”. If the dehydration vibration force is applied at this time, it may cause an “explosion” of the down jacket.

When the above two factors are superimposed, there will be a “tragic” explosion scene. This situation mostly occurs in the dehydration process of the old two-cylinder pulsator washing machine. The single-cylinder full-automatic pulsator washing machine and drum washing machine have a dehydration correction function. Once the cylinder body rotates unbalanced, it will stop and make adjustments, which greatly reduces the risk of clothing “explosion”

2. How to wash down jackets in a washing machine safely and correctly?

Down jacket manufacturers suggest one: When the down jacket is dehydrated, it should be completely soaked before washing, and then the clothes should be twisted before putting them in the washing machine to avoid the fabric wrapping too much gas; when placing the clothes in the tank, try to place the clothes as much as possible. Place it evenly and keep the cylinder’s center of gravity stable. If the washing machine makes an abnormal noise, unplug the power first.

Down jacket manufacturers suggest two: Before washing the down jacket, check whether there is a “not machine washable” mark, and use the washing machine correctly according to the operating instructions.
