Special treatment of down jackets

When asked what to do if a fluff comes from the jacket, you can not fail to mention the folk methods of dealing with this trouble, because in most cases they are really useful. But remember that no one is immune from unexpected consequences.

Option 1

The simplest option is to treat seams with the most ordinary varnish. But it has such features:

• The varnish is applied in a thin layer or sprayed onto the seams.
• The seam is strengthened through non-contact intervention.
• Treated fabrics remain sticky to the touch for a long time.
• Not in all cases it helps.

Important! By the way, those who have already tried to solve this problem on their own, advise it is lacquer, because this option is both effective and simple in execution. But he also has disadvantages, your down jacket in the literal sense of the word will stand if you accidentally apply varnish more than necessary.

Option 2

How to make sure that the down jacket does not climb down - give an example of how best to use glue:

1. You need to take PVA glue and measure 200 grams.
2. Dilute it in 6 liters of plain water.
3. For one hour soak in the resulting liquid down jacket.
4. Manually rinse out the thing at least four times.

Theoretically, with the fluff thereafter nothing should happen, but here's the appearance of the jacket to deteriorate unambiguously. In addition, the filler will collapse into lumps, as we have already found out earlier and evenly distributed throughout the area of ​​the product will never be distributed. That is, such a thing can not keep you warm enough in the winter.

Important! In fact, there are no such tools in nature that could completely stop the loss of fluff and strengthen the seams for a long time. Both varnish and glue will only improve the situation for some time, but, perhaps, your clothes will not be so attractive. As a rule, such measures are taken in extreme cases.
