Use Nikwax Down Wash Direct in a washing machine...

* Sleeping bags and very large jackets are best hand washed in a bathtub or equivalent, or washed in a large professional machine at a laundromat.

Use undiluted Down Wash Direct to treat stubborn stains before washing. Remove all non-washable parts. Shake well before use. Follow item care label instructions. Do not use conventional detergents.

Machine wash (down clothing only)

1. Use a front-loading washing machine only.
2. Remove all detergent build-up from the detergent dispenser.
3. Place maximum 2 items in washing machine.
4. Add 3.3 fl.oz. (100ml).
5. Wash according to item’s care label, preferably on low setting and slow spin.
6. After the washing cycle has finished run multiple spin cycles, each time incrementally increasing the spin speed, to remove excess water.

If care label allows, tumble dry according to manufacturers instructions on a low setting until “clumps” have disappeared. This may take multiple drying cycles. Teasing apart clumps by hand between drying cycles will help restore the loft more quickly.
