How to wash a camel wool down jacket

When purchasing a down jacket or a jacket filled with camel hair, you need to be prepared for the fact that caring for such a thing is quite difficult.

So, a jacket whose filling contains less than 50% camel wool can be washed (by hand or by machine at a temperature of 30C°).

Recommendations before washing

Washing a down jacket at home is not a difficult task, but a number of nuances are still worth considering. It is necessary to carefully consider the choice of detergent, and try not to damage the fabric with too rough action.

What products are best to use?

Washing a winter jacket with down filling by hand requires the use of special detergents. As a rule, they are produced in liquid form and contain special substances that preserve the properties of fluff (for example, lanolin). Such gels can be called differently - “liquid powder”, balm or “shampoo”, but the packaging must indicate that the composition is intended (or suitable) for down jackets. German liquid products from the brands “Heitmann”, “Domal Sport Fein Fashion”, Woly Sport Down & Wool Wash, as well as domestic gels “UNIPUKH” and “Laska” have proven themselves well.

The use of regular powder for items with down filling is prohibited. Most likely, one time will be enough to ruin the thing, and here's why:

Washing powders form abundant foam and are difficult to rinse out of the down layer. Therefore, soap stains and stains appear on the surface of the fabric.
Optical brighteners and other aggressive substances often spoil the color of the “top” fabric; it is almost impossible to get rid of these traces.
Simple powders and gels contain fat-dissolving components. They wash away the protective fatty layer from down and feathers. In this case, the filler sticks together into lumps and loses its water-repellent and heat-insulating properties. It is not always possible to restore the fluff after this.

Therefore, if you decide to wash your down jacket by hand yourself, you should invest in a special product. This is the only way to maintain the quality and appearance of the product.

Is it possible to rub a down jacket?

The answer to this question depends on the type of fabric from which the jacket is made. If the material is thick enough, you can remove stains manually using a sponge or soft brush. Liquid detergent should be applied to the bristles and gently rub the dirty areas. Even a dish sponge or an old toothbrush is suitable for this purpose.

It is not recommended to rub parts of the down jacket against each other (as you would wash ordinary things by hand). This causes the fluff to stick together into clumps. In addition, due to the thick filler, it is simply inconvenient to do this.

If the “top” of the jacket is made of thin fabric that requires careful handling, it is better not to risk it and have the product dry cleaned.

What to do if spots appear?

If stains appear on a down jacket filled with camel hair, there is no need to rush, immediately soak the product in water.

Before you begin the washing process, it is necessary to remove heavy soiling from your clothes.

There are several ways to quickly remove stains from a camel wool jacket:

We use dishwashing detergent . In a glass of clean, warm water, you need to dilute two tablespoons of liquid detergent. The gel is thoroughly stirred, and the resulting soap solution is carefully applied to the stain using a sponge or soft brush. After twenty minutes, remove the remaining soap solution with a clean cloth. Experts advise using this method to combat grease stains on clothes.
We use gasoline (refined) . Use a napkin or rag soaked in gasoline to gently rub the stain on the jacket. This method is effective in combating oil stains. Before cleaning the stain, you need to check in an inconspicuous area how the fabric of your jacket or down jacket reacts to contact with gasoline.
We use ammonia . Add a few drops of ammonia to a small amount of liquid dishwashing detergent (2-3 spoons). Using the resulting product, using a sponge, treat the stain on the jacket. After five minutes, thoroughly rinse off the remaining soap solution under running water. This method helps to cope with old stubborn stains on clothes.

Stains on a camel hair jacket need to be cleaned out as soon as possible. The longer a stain remains on the fabric, the more difficult it is to remove.

Choosing a detergent

Classic washing powder removes stains well. However, it is difficult to wash out, and its granules can get stuck between the fibers of the filler. This causes the internal material to lose its physical properties. Some housewives prefer to use granulated powders for children's things. They have a fine structure, so they rinse well.

How to wash a winter jacket more efficiently? It is better to use washing capsules or gel powder. They contain highly active substances that are activated at low temperatures and are not inferior in quality to classic powders. If you want to quickly wash your jacket, but there is no suitable detergent, use hair shampoo. The main thing is that they do not contain coloring pigments.

Drying correctly

Improper drying of a jacket or down jacket filled with camel hair can damage the product.

By adhering to certain drying rules, you can avoid damage to things:

A camel wool down jacket should not be machine dried. Aggressive mode will ruin the thing completely.
After washing, the down jacket is gently shaken, zippers and other fasteners are fastened, and hung on hangers.
Do not dry your jacket on a laid out towel. Lack of air circulation leads to the fact that the fluff inside the jacket trigger gets stale and acquires an unpleasant odor.
Drying with a hair dryer, radiator or other heating device is prohibited. Exposure to high temperatures spoils the filling of a down jacket.
Dry the camel hair coat in a well-ventilated, darkened room, away from direct sunlight. A fan will help speed up air movement (and therefore drying) in the room.

During the drying process, the down jacket must be periodically turned inside out and gently shaken.

How to wash a camel wool blanket in a washing machine

Modern camel wool blankets differ significantly from their once popular Soviet counterparts. They come in two types: open and closed. The first include quilted products made from compacted wool, which many call rugs. They are soft and light, often used for decorative purposes. The latter are enclosed in fabric covers. For example, made of teak, satin or silk.

The blanket can be washed by machine, hand or dry wash. The main thing is to follow the recommendations provided, and then the item will not deteriorate after such procedures and will retain all its qualities.

Is it washable?

Beginners who are encountering a woolen bulk product for the first time are concerned with the question of whether the material can be machine washed. This is, of course, possible, but experts recommend washing such a blanket exclusively by hand. It is permissible to use a washing machine in special cases:

no bathroom;
not confident in their abilities;
due to personal characteristics, you trust the machine more;
inappropriate time of year;
significant pollution.

Preparing things

Before you begin any manipulations, pay special attention to the label. Conscientious manufacturers indicate how to properly wash a camel wool blanket, at what temperature

They also pay special attention to what not to do. To prepare an item for the process, perform the following manipulations:

the canvas needs to be freed from dust - vacuumed or shaken out;
if you are dealing with a closed-type product, inspect the outer fabric and repair tears, abrasions, and trim protruding threads;
rub old stains with laundry soap and leave for about 15 minutes;
an open-type blanket is placed in a duvet cover before being placed in the drum so as not to clog the machine drain with hairs;
the item must be rolled into a soft roll;
for high-quality washing, put several special balls along with the package or replace them with tennis ones;
It is forbidden to use powders with bleaches, aggressive components and strong aromas.

Selecting a washing mode

When choosing a machine wash, use the safest modes. Such as “Delicate”, “Wool”, “Duvet” or “Handmade”. The “Spin” and “Drying” programs cannot be used. And stop at temperatures strictly up to 30 degrees.

Choice of product

For products made from camel wool, choose a liquid laundry detergent for automatic machines, which contains lanolin. Ordinary powder will not work, but will only spoil the beneficial properties of the filler, settle between the fibers and reduce its service life.

Washing gel without aggressive components best cleanses natural wool and has an enveloping effect on it, after which the pile becomes softer and more elastic. Lanolin makes camel wool thicker and less dirty.

How to dry it properly

If the machine has a drying mode, then it is absolutely not suitable for blankets. Woolen products are preferable:

rinse additionally;
place in the bathroom after washing;
if possible, squeeze out by twisting between towels;
dry on a flat horizontal surface, carefully straightening the fabric so that there are no folds or creases;
if possible, take the blanket outside into the shade - there is good ventilation and it will dry out faster;
periodically change the damp fabric under the quilted fabric;
do not let the product lie dormant: change its position, turn it over;
For deep drying, you can place a heating device and a fan at a sufficient distance, which will direct jets of warm air onto the blanket.

Rules for washing woolen products

We have figured out how to properly wash a down jacket; now we should dwell on the basic rules for cleaning clothes made from natural camel wool. This material can be the main one or act as insulation.

To clean a camel hair jacket, it is advisable to use only hand washing, and only if the label shows a pictogram of a basin full of water. If this icon is crossed out, then only dry cleaning is allowed.
If the label shows a hand immersed in a container of water, then the clothes can be washed, but only by hand. And the numbers will tell you the acceptable water temperature.
If the percentage of camel wool is 20% or less, then the product can be washed by hand, but only in warm water and using a special powder. Such clothes can be soaked, but the water temperature should not exceed 20°.
A jacket consisting of 50% camel hair is strictly prohibited from washing! Such a product will lose its shape, appearance and will probably shrink. And to clean these clothes, they take them to the dry cleaner.

If a small greasy stain is found on a jacket made of natural camel down, it can be carefully removed using natural alcohol. A few drops of the substance are applied to a clean white cloth and wipe the contaminated area. Street dirt can be easily removed with a rubber sponge, and grass stains can be removed with stain remover. But first, carefully study the label and make sure that there is no “dry clean only” pictogram on it.

Wool wool - discord!

Speaking about the quality of down jackets made of camel wool, it should be noted that the fillers differ significantly.

Hence the customer reviews are so different. In order of increasing thermal insulation properties, you can make approximately the following table:

Properties	Type of filler
Very warm down jackets, soft, bag with white filling. Almost no airflow.	Down of young camels up to 1 year old. They can be distinguished by their very high softness and snow-white color.
Warm down jackets, comfortable to wear down to -30-35 degrees. Quite difficult to blow through.	Inner down, undercoat, fibers 17-25 microns thick. Brown, reddish, brownish color.
Down jackets are cold, but can be worn down to -15-20.	Hair of adult animals, up to 100 microns thick. Mostly dark brown shades.
Warm, but not ideal models, quality depends on the manufacturer.	Medium, combined down jackets, where the wool is mixed with the down of other animals and birds.

From an adult camel you can pull about 9 kg of wool and 2-3 fluff. For a young animal, under 1 year of age, which has the warmest down, no more than 2 kg. Accordingly, the price of such camel down jackets will be at least 15-20 thousand rubles. Everything else is combined options of varying quality.

If we are talking about an expensive model that uses down, then washing it is not recommended at all. The only way to clean a down jacket is through professional dry cleaning, where contamination from the outside will be carefully removed with steam or chemicals without exposing the filling to moisture. However, most inexpensive down jackets that use camel filling from adult animals, as well as feathers or polyester, can be washed in a regular automatic washing machine. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the temperature conditions indicated on the label.

But the general rules for washing down jackets made of camel wool are approximately the same - temperature no more than 30 degrees, gentle mode, maximum number of revolutions should not exceed 600. To prevent the filler from shifting inside the cells, it is advisable to place the down jacket in the washing machine along with some laundry so that the drum was loaded quite tightly (but without fanaticism).

Before hanging out a washed down jacket to dry, it is advisable to shake it. Typically, quilted models are much less likely to experience filler deformation than traditional ones.

It is advisable to dry a camel wool down jacket indoors, avoiding exposure to direct sunlight or heating devices. The fibers should dry naturally, as evenly as possible, and, of course, completely. If moisture remains in the filling, outerwear will not warm.

Is it worth buying a down jacket made of camel hair? The question is quite complex; it all depends on the available budget. Cheap models should be chosen only in one case: if you really like the style, and you can sacrifice warmth and durability.

If the product is trimmed with natural fur

There are several ways to clean a down jacket made of camel wool with a trim of natural fur on the hood and sleeves:

We use a soap solution . This method is applicable when the fur trim is unfastened from a jacket or down jacket. Liquid detergent for delicate fabrics or regular shampoo is thoroughly foamed and carefully applied to the fur. The fur trim is then hung on a rope or hanger and dried away from heat sources. After the fur is completely dry, it is carefully combed with a sparse comb.
We use semolina . The dry cleaning method is applicable when the fur trim is sewn to a jacket or down jacket and cannot be torn off. The semolina is gently rubbed into the fur, after which the grains are combed out with a comb. Semolina, like a sorbent, attracts dust and dirt, quickly cleaning the fur trim.

Washing real fur in a washing machine is very risky. There is a high risk of product damage.

When deciding to machine wash a jacket with a natural fur trim, you need to follow some tips:

Wash natural fur only at low temperatures (no more than 30C°).
For fur, use special liquid products for woolen or delicate items.
Twisting of natural fur is prohibited. Dry the product away from heat sources and direct sunlight while unfolded.

Drying

Proper drying will prevent the appearance of streaks on the surface of the treated product and return your favorite down jacket or jacket to use in a short time.

To do this you need:

After finishing washing, remove the product from the machine drum and shake it slightly to loosen any fluff lumps, if any.
Hang the product on a hanger and leave it to dry completely in the open air or in a room with good air ventilation.
You should periodically shake the jacket and break up any lumps of filler that have formed with your hands.
To speed up the drying process and prevent the appearance of white streaks, you can vacuum the inside of the jacket by turning on the vacuum cleaner at low speed.

In emergency cases, when time is pressing, you can use a fan heater with a rotating head to speed up the drying process, but it must be installed no closer than 1 meter from the washed jacket.

Is it possible and how to wash a jacket with filler by hand?

Before you start hand washing a camel wool down jacket, you need to study the manufacturer's label for temperature restrictions and the use of special detergents.

After making sure that hand washing for a down jacket or down jacket is allowed, we perform the following sequence of actions:

We take a bath with warm water (temperature no higher than 30-40C°).

Add liquid detergent for washing woolen and delicate items to the water.
Using a soft brush or sponge, carefully clean the surface of the jacket, paying attention to particularly dirty areas (collar, sleeves, pockets, fabric around fasteners).
Rinse the jacket thoroughly in clean water (several times) until the detergent is completely removed from the fabric and filling.
We take the jacket or down jacket out of the water, zip it up and hang it on a hanger.

A camel hair jacket should not be twisted. During the drying process, be sure to shake the item several times so that the fluff is evenly distributed and does not form clumps.

Preparing a product for washing with your own hands

Before washing your jacket, you need to prepare it. This is the first stage of cleaning and includes the following:

Detachment of removable parts (edges, hood, lining).
Fastening all zippers on the product.
Checking pockets - removing all contents from them.
Determination of the most dirty areas.
Choosing household chemicals.

Washing your jacket by hand allows for a gentler cleaning experience than using a washing machine.

Selection of detergent

The difficulty in choosing a detergent is related to the composition of the item and the difficulty of rinsing it. Regular powder is not suitable for jackets, as it often leaves stains and characteristic light stains on the product. They can only be removed with additional cleaning.

One of the best solutions is to use household chemicals that are intended directly for washing down jackets.

The following options may serve as an alternative:

liquid concentrates;
preparations intended for washing wool products;
powders designed for washing machines (they produce relatively little foam), so they can only be used if there are no other options.

For minor stains, liquid colorless soap can be used for washing. It is not as effective as special products, but it allows you to clean an item if there are no other options.

If the selected detergent is not intended directly for down jackets, then its amount should be reduced by a third relative to that recommended by the manufacturer.

From stains

Bleach and stain removers are prohibited. If you need to use bleach for difficult stains, you will have to increase the soaking time of the jacket or wash it several times.

Regular stain removers cannot be used for washing jackets either. Instead, it is recommended to use laundry soap, which is foamed in water before application.

Methods to get rid of stains after washing

White streaks often remain after washing and can be easily removed. To do this, wipe the product with a clean damp cloth. For severe stains, you can use a shower. A stream of water will remove any remaining detergent.

To prevent white streaks, use only liquid detergents; they wash off better. Rinse the product thoroughly several times, changing the water to clean water. Do not add conditioners during washing, as they are difficult to wash out of the material.

How to properly wash a down jacket in a washing machine

It is convenient and easy to wash a down jacket at home using an automatic washing machine. In this way it is easy to get rid of dirt outside and inside the product, refresh the down and give the item a pleasant smell. However, you need to familiarize yourself with the rules for washing a down jacket in a washing machine in advance. Everything matters here. To wash a down jacket in a washing machine without streaks, you need to properly prepare the item, choose the right detergent and choose the right mode. Proper drying is no less important for the result.

This is a very important step that you need to remember:

Remove all items from pockets – external, internal, on the sleeves (for some models).
Unfasten the fur parts of the down jacket, belt, hood, decorative details.
To avoid damaging the fittings, you can wrap them with tape or cling film.
The most contaminated areas should be pre-treated with detergent (or laundry soap) using a soft brush and left for 15-20 minutes.
To machine wash the down jacket, you need to button it up and turn it inside out. This will preserve the integrity of the fabric.

A down jacket is a delicate thing and requires delicate washing. It’s difficult, but you can wash a down jacket in a washing machine so that the down does not bunch up. To do this, you need to choose the right program. Some models of washing machines have a special washing mode for down jackets. If there is no such program, you need to choose the most gentle method - for example, the “Wool”, “Silk”, “Delicate Wash” mode.

The water temperature when machine washing down products should not exceed 30-40 degrees.
The number of revolutions for spinning is minimal.
Add 1-2 additional rinses to the standard number of rinses (or use the “Super Rinse” program).

If there is no special program for fluff, it is recommended to select one of the delicate modes.

When washing a down jacket with down or other filling, you need to follow these recommendations. Then the fabric will not stretch or deform, and the product will retain its original appearance.

To prevent fluff from forming clumps, it is recommended to add 2-4 special laundry balls to the washing machine drum. These can be either tennis balls or rubber or silicone balls (sold in hardware stores). One ball at a time should be placed in the side pockets of the down jacket, and a couple more should simply be thrown into the drum of the machine along with the down jacket before starting the wash. They will have an additional effect on the product, breaking up fluff balls.

Special balls for washing.

Practice shows that there is no critical difference in washing a down jacket with or without balls. The “clumping” of down is largely determined by the composition of the filler, the quantity and quality of the detergent, and the mode of the washing machine.

Therefore, subject to all other rules, a down jacket can be safely washed in an automatic washing machine without balls. If the fluff sticks together, it can be fluffed in other ways.

The only condition is that the spin speed must be set to the minimum. Typically this figure is around 400 rpm

This is important for both the down jacket and the machine, since the item is heavy and requires careful handling. Spinning at high speeds destroys the structure of the down and breaks the feathers. It is quite possible that after such a load it will no longer be possible to restore the filler.

How to wash a down jacket in a washing machine

In a laundry bag or cotton cover - this is how to wash a down jacket in a washing machine. First you need to turn it inside out, fasten all the buttons and zippers. Fur parts such as collars, pockets, cuffs and belts should be removed. Even if they are made of artificial material, these parts of the product risk losing their external characteristics.

To prevent the fluff from getting lost, it is recommended to use balls. We have already mentioned tennis balls, but you can use special laundry balls. They are lighter, their texture will not damage the outer fabric, and such balls are safe for the washing machine drum. Only a strong spin or rough washing mode will allow the fluff to fall off irrevocably.

Which washing mode to choose

The delicate washing mode solves the main problem that owners of this type of clothing face. Namely, matted fluff. What other mode can you wash a down jacket in? This is hand washing or the mode of washing wool and down jacket in an automatic machine. We figured out what is the best way to wash such clothes so that you can wash your down jacket as efficiently as possible without streaks.

If you have doubts that such gentle modes do not wash your outerwear properly, try washing your item in this mode. It is always better to subsequently increase the power of exposure than to immediately act intensively on such a delicate filler, tormented by guesses on which mode is best to wash. Pre-soaking will protect your item from under-washed problem areas.

How to wring out a down jacket

We found out which mode is suitable for cleaning a down jacket. As for how to do push-ups, the algorithm is slightly different. After removing the clothes from the machine and from the case, the down outerwear is distributed evenly on a horizontal surface, wrapped in a terry towel and then carefully squeezed with your hands so that the water drains naturally. It is prohibited to wring out a down jacket or down jacket in a washing machine - no matter how carefully you have to wash it, the equipment is also not able to delicately squeeze moisture out of the fabric.

Wash balls

For greater clarity, we present important points: to put a down jacket in order without balls, it is enough not to wring out the product in the machine and select a gentle washing mode. But if you want to use balls and are interested in how to properly wash a down jacket in an automatic washing machine in this way, then here are some tips.

Tennis balls are not suitable for this; they are too heavy and rough. You can damage not only the item, but also the drum of the machine. Instead, you can use soft rubber balls. Their particles will not break off during washing and will not clog the machine inside, as could be the case when using foam rubber ones.

Even woolen balls of thread can pass for laundry balls. But before placing them in the machine, it is better to wrap them in fabric or cotton socks. If we talk about the number of balls, then two or three will be enough, regardless of the size of the clothes you wash.

What is strictly forbidden to do

Without knowing the intricacies of handling down, not everyone can successfully wash a down jacket in a machine. Clumped fluff after machine cleaning is the most common and unpleasant occurrence after a product is removed from the drum. It is usually almost impossible to shake out the fluff afterwards, and the item is irrevocably damaged. Remember what is strictly forbidden to do and wash your clothes without any risk.

If we talk about the program, then in no case should it be washing sportswear or children's clothing, or cleaning using high temperatures and aggressive detergents. You cannot wash a down jacket with other things, even if they fit perfectly in the container of the equipment.

Be sure to check the product for shedding or fading - then you should wash it in almost cold water so that the fabric does not lose color. Do not use regular fabric softener to avoid streaks.

How to avoid divorces?

Streak-free washing, it's easy. It is enough to know and put into practice some recommendations:

a camel wool down jacket is not soaked before washing;
washing temperature no higher than 30C°;
choose only liquid detergents (dry powder granules do not dissolve in cold water);
rinse the down jacket several times;
We do not use fabric softeners (they are difficult to wash out of wool and fluff).

If there are stains left on the down jacket after washing, you can solve this problem in several ways:

Yellow stains indicate poor quality of the filler and insufficient drying time for the hammer. Repeated washing or dry cleaning of outerwear will help eliminate the problem.
White stains on the jacket are the result of an incorrectly selected powder or the use of detergent in very large quantities. You can remove white stains on clothes with a damp, clean cloth or a stream of water.
Dark stains appear when the filling of a down jacket or jacket is poorly washed. Laundry soap will help remove such stains. It is rubbed, filled with cool water and foamed. The stain is treated with a sponge with soap foam.
