The Cold Has Taken Over: How to Quickly Refresh a Puffer Jacket Without Dry Cleaning – 5 Ways It Works

  • 1:43 PM

Each of us has faced a similar SOS situation: you haven’t had time to put away your down jacket, the cold has set in, and there’s absolutely no time to wash in the typewriter or for professional help. The good news is that even then you can quickly save on outerwear – we’ll tell you how!

We don’t want to talk about sad things, but calendar winter is coming, which means the weather is going to get worse and worse, considering it hasn’t been happy for so long. And, to be honest, it was worth bracing for that mush of rain, snow, mud and puddles in October – now we have to battle the weather in what we have. So yeah, you’re not the only one who forgot to get your down jacket or warm jacket out ahead of time, check for any nasty old stains left over from last year, and pack your outerwear to the dry cleaners.

Now, you are unlikely to be able to part with a warm down jacket in order to wait a week for a professional wash. We will have to do it on our own: we tell you how to quickly bring a jacket to life using only home remedies.

  • If you need to remove splashes of dirty street “porridge”, dilute a small amount of shampoo in water and saturate the soft side (this is important, because hard fibers can damage) of the sponge . Rub the stains without strong pressure. This will only clean the outer side of the jacket without wetting the putty.
  • You have surely noticed that the edges of the hood, cuffs, collar and pockets are quickly covered with a white or gray coating. These disorders arise due to the contact of the fabric with the skin and other surfaces (brr, that handrail in public transport …) Salt will do well here, “ripping off” the fat. Simply spread it over the “affected” areas, wait a few minutes and gently wipe the surface.
  • In times of puddles (whether wrong or not), owners of maxi down jackets are especially acute with the problem of an eternally dirty hem. A solution of water and vinegar will help remove traces of slush (take three times as much water to one part vinegar). As you may have guessed, all that remains is to wipe the dusty places of outerwear. Voila, the down jacket seems to have just come out of the store!
  • The same apple cider vinegar and water will help get rid of the unpleasant smell of clothes packed in the closet (the formula remains the same). Apply the solution with a cloth to the liner of the product and wait for it to dry completely. Should work! If there is no vinegar, use a solution consisting of a small amount of water, a few drops of ammonia and regular alcohol.
  • A mixture of one tablespoon of starch, lemon juice and salt is a tried and tested way to remove a dried-on stain. The first two ingredients have a good dissolving property and the starch binds everything together. Start by rubbing the dirty area with a thick mixture (be careful with delicate materials, such as wool), then walk with a damp cloth. Do not thank!
