Down jackets may explode in winter, because the fillers in down jackets-down or cotton-will continue to expand and deform during long-term use. If the density of stuffing is too high and the internal pressure of down jacket is too high, it will lead to explosion.

Next, let's see what other reasons can cause the down jacket to explode:

First, the machine washes down jackets, and the internal space of the washing machine is limited.

When spinning at high speed, the down filled with water will expand, and air will be generated in the down jacket, but the waterproof coating is not conducive to gas discharge, and the down jacket will continue to expand and fill the washing machine. However, the space in the washing machine is limited, and gas gathering to a certain extent may cause "explosion".

Second, the down jacket encounters a high temperature environment during use.

If the down jacket is exposed to high temperature for a long time during use, such as being exposed to the hot sun or being placed in a hot car, it will also cause the down jacket to explode. This situation is usually because the stuffing inside the down jacket is excessively expanded due to high temperature.

Third, the down jacket is damaged during use.

If the down jacket is damaged during use, such as being cut, torn and worn, it will lead to the leakage of the filler inside the down jacket, thus increasing the risk of explosion.

Fourthly, there are quality problems in the manufacturing process of down jackets.

If there are quality problems in the manufacturing process of down jackets, such as uneven filling and weak stitching, it will lead to the failure of down jackets in use, thus increasing the risk of explosion.

Matters needing attention in cleaning down jacket

1. Most down jackets are suggested to be washed by hand, not dry-cleaned.

Dry cleaning will use chemicals, which will affect the warmth of down jackets and accelerate the aging of fabrics that wrap down. If machine washing and spin-drying are used, the thickness of down filler is uneven.

2, for minor stains, local cleaning can be carried out, and the whole down jacket does not need to be cleaned frequently.

You can gently wipe the stain with a toothbrush dipped in alcohol, and then wipe it with a towel dipped in water until the alcohol evaporates. You can also clean it with toothpaste or collar, rub it on the oil stain, wait for white foam to cover the whole cloth, and then clean it with a little water.

If the whole down jacket is dirty, it is recommended to wash it with warm water.

First, soak the down jacket in cold water for 20 minutes, so that the inside and outside of the down jacket are fully wet. Then, the special detergent for down jacket is melted in warm water, and then the down jacket is soaked. Pay attention to the water temperature is not too high, it is best to control it below 30℃, and warm water should be used for washing.

4. Because the down jacket is filled with poultry down, which belongs to protein fiber, it can't be cleaned with strong alkaline detergent and soap.

Avoid using washing powder with enzyme, which will make clothes stiff after washing. It is best to choose a special down jacket cleaner to reduce the damage to clothes.

5. Drop a proper amount of edible rice vinegar into clear water and add a bottle of edible rice vinegar.

Soak the down jacket in vinegar water for 5- 10 minutes, gently knead it without washing, then pour out the vinegar water and dry it.

The above is what I shared about the cleaning precautions of down jackets, hoping to help everyone.
