A down jacket is one of the best jackets you can buy if you're serious about staying warm in cold weather,or in the snow.Like so many things it's always better to use a natural fiber or product when buying clothing,including down jackets,and natural just seems to perform best.However,do you know some tips to wash your Moncler jacket?

Well of course the first answer is to dry clean it.A good dry cleaner,(note that I said a good dry cleaner,there are some that are not so good),should be able to dry clean your down coat jacket well.However for some this is expensive and many would prefer to clean their down jacket themselves.So if you'd like to clean your own down jacket how do you do it" well first,like with everything,you need to get it ready for cleaning.Take everything out of the pockets,shake out the "stuff" that's accumulated in the crevices and cracks,but just do that.You don't need to pretreat it with anything.

Next wash it in a washing machine without the center spindle,or the piece that goes round and round to create the washing motion and agitate the water.Some people may have a machine lacking the center spindle,but older machines usually have it,so you may need to use a commercial laundry where you can wash yourself.That's because a machine with a center spindle can damage the down in your down jacket,washing it too hard.When you're washing make sure you use only the gently cycle.If your down coats and jackets are really dirty it doesn't even hurt to wash it with warm water on it's own first,then with detergent.

Soon you should get to the point of washing your jacket with detergent.That's when you can squeeze out water from the jacket after the water wash and it is all clean.Then wash it again on the gentle cycle again,using a detergent. However it is important to make sure you use a down detergent, not just any old detergent.You shouldn't find it too hard to find a down detergent.

When removing the Moncler down jacket from the machine allow all excess water to drip out or squeeze gently,then lay it down and press with a clean towel to remove excess water.Once you are confident that all excess water is removed it's time for the next step.You can dry it outside in warm weather as long as it isn't too windy or too hot,or in a dryer,but again not too hot.As it dries you need to fluff the down up from time to time just to make sure it isn't drying all clumped up in a ball. It needs to be separated so that it can regain it's "loft".And once your down jacket is washed and dry it's ready to keep you warm on the coldest of days all over again.
