How can I quickly dry the down jacket?

It is often asked how much the down jacket dries after washing. On average, if it is not helped, the product dries within 2 days. But if there is no way to wait for 2 days, until the product dries naturally, then what should I do? How to quickly dry the jacket after washing? There are simple methods of quick drying.

Drying

If you need to get a dry down jacket as soon as possible, you can help him dry with a hair dryer:

1. Set the mode of cold air.
2. Direct air flow from the wrong side. Keep the hair away at a distance of 15-20 cm from the product.

Important! Do not dry down the down jacket with hot air - it only leads to the fact that the material may melt, and your efforts will go to rubble.

Drying during washing

The drying procedure in the machine is simple:

1. Fasten the product with a zipper, Velcro and turn inside out.
2. Put the down jacket in the drum machine along with a few tennis balls.
3. Select the "spin" mode at low speed and start the program.

Balls will not only knock out excess moisture from the clothing, but they will also break down the fuzz.

Drying with vacuum cleaner

This requires a vacuum cleaner with air blowing function. This way you can dry the damp down jacket:

• Take a large plastic bag and put the product in it in a straightened state. A special vacuum bag is best suited for this purpose.
• Pump the air out of it and make a small hole of this size so that the tube from the vacuum cleaner has passed there.
• Insert the pipe, fix it with adhesive tape, turn on the air blowing mode.

A powerful air flow distributes the filler evenly over the entire surface of the product.

Important! You can hang a jacket on your hangers and just send a stream of air from the vacuum cleaner to it, but this method is less effective.

How can you dry the down?

• These clothes should not be dried in a damp, cold place. The filler can be compacted and sour. There will be an unpleasant smell and mold.
• Do not hang the jacket over the stove to accelerate the drying process. Open fire can melt the top layer.
• If you dry the products with a down filler on the battery or heater, you may see a stain, the feather will stick together, and the jacket will no longer perform its primary function - to keep the heat.
• Do not apply a towel or other absorbent fabric when drying under a wet product, as when drying wool items. This disrupts the correct air circulation and slows down the drying process. A wet down jacket requires free access of dry air from all sides.
• If the thing is washed by hand, there is a lot of water in it. In this case, it is undesirable to hang it on hangers immediately after washing, especially if the jacket is not quilted. In this case, the filler can all go down and get stuck in lumps. As a result, the thing will become formless.

Now you know everything that is necessary in order to bring your outer garments in order at the end of the cold season or throughout the winter. Follow the rules, and then your thing will retain its properties for a long time, and a good appearance.
