Down Care Instructions 

For an initial clean, wipe any soiling or dirty marks with a Montissier's Puffer Buffer Cleaning Sponge and follow the drying instructions below. However, when thorough cleaning is required please follow these instructions:

Washing

• Unzip the hood from the jacket and remove any faux fur trim
• Handwash or gentle machine wash, ensuring to only use a front loader washing machine. To prolong the life of your jacket, handwashing is best.
• Only use down liquid soap, see our Down Care section for NIKWAX DOWN WASH DIRECT, and, if machine washing, ensure any powdered detergent residue is cleaned out from the compartment
• Soak for up to 60 minutes
• Do not use fabric softener
• Do not bleach, soak, or rub
• Gently squeeze out excess water and do not wring or shake the garment while wet in order to protect the down clusters

Drying

• Tumble dry on low heat, adding 2 x Down Laundry Balls to avoid clumps forming and to thoroughly redistribute the down
• Check-in on the drying process and softly toss to redistribute down and locate any remaining damp areas
• Repeat the drying procedure until completely dry which will ensure all down has been separated and re-lofted
• Do not store when wet
• Hang when not in use
• If a front loader machine or tumble drier are not available, we recommend professional cleaning
