CARE FOR YOUR BERING DOWN
STEP 1 - Pre Rinse
If possible, pre-rinse products without detergent.
This helps to saturate the items allowing the detergent to penetrate the fabrics more effectively and get to the down clusters to clean them thoroughly.
STEP 2 - Low Temp Wash
Wash on low temperature.
There is a greater likelihood that the fabrics will require a lower temperature than the down itself. This also saves energy when it is not needed.
STEP 3 - Additional Rinse
Following wash, run an additional rinse without detergent.
This will ensure that all detergent was completely rinsed out of the down and the product. Leaving residual detergent on the down may cause a reduction in fill power.
STEP 4 - Tumble Dry
Tumble dry on low temperature until completely dry with clean tennis balls or a clean shoe.
If you think the item is dry, it is worth running one last dry cycle. Many people assume it is dry by the feel of the textile, but the down inside remains slightly damp. This may take several cycles. It is not possible to over-dry in a home laundry machine, and is always better to err on the side of dry with down insulation.
It may be obvious, but do not bleach or iron your down filled products.
We also generally recommend against dry cleaning, but if that is necessary because of certain trims on the item, it is recommended to use an eco-friendly dry cleaner who has experience with down filled products.
