Why jackets need a professional
End of winter season. You want to wash your favorite puffer before storing it in the closet. You toss it in the washing machine. Delicate cycle, 30 degrees. What could go wrong?
When you pull it from the washer, the down lies dead in the corners of the baffles. The jacket looks like it lost weight. White streaks on membrane softshells that won't come off. And that expensive ski jacket? It stopped being waterproof.
Three biggest threats when washing jackets at home
Clumped down that doesn't insulate
Wet feathers stick together in lumps and lose their insulating properties. Home drying usually doesn't fix this. The jacket becomes thin as a windbreaker.
White stains on membranes
Hard water and wrong detergents leave calcium deposits on Gore-Tex and other membranes. The jacket loses breathability and starts leaking.
Loss of shape and function
Improper spinning, too high temperature or aggressive detergents destroy tapes, bindings and bonded seams. The jacket deforms.
Our jacket washing is a precise process with professional products for different types of fills and membranes. Your jacket comes back like new.
