How to wash a jacket with padding polyester?

Jackets with padding polyester insulation are widespread among the consumer. They are light, bright and comfortable to wear, and the price will not allow you to empty your wallet. Plus, these jackets are super warm and stylish. But sooner or later the question of cleaning them arises. The product gets dirty and needs to be washed, and if you are not a fan of dry cleaners, then you will have to do it with your own hands.

Washing a thing on a padding polyester by hand is difficult and not necessary, you can do it in a washing machine. In this article, we will talk in detail about all the nuances.

Sintepon is a non-woven synthetic material used for insulation, which is inserted between the layers of the fabric of the product. In the process of machine washing, it can crumple, unevenly distribute, tear and the clothes will lose their appearance. First you need examine the tag in which the manufacturer indicated the type of upper fabric, as well as the temperature regime at which washing is possible, the possibility or prohibition of spinning, ironing and other nuances.

Legend:

• If you see a basin crossed with two diagonal lines, then washing is excluded.
• In the case of exclusively hand washing, a basin is depicted with a palm lowered into it.
• A rectangle with three vertical lines inscribed in it means no spin.
• The crossed-out rectangle means that tumble drying is prohibited.
• A straight line inscribed in a rectangle indicates that horizontal drying is allowed.
• Ironing with a line through it means no ironing.
• The crossed-out triangle indicates the ban on chlorine-based detergents.

If you find that your jacket is covered with a membrane fabric, insulated with glued padding polyester, contains non-removable parts made of genuine leather, wool or fur, in this case, alas, machine wash is contraindicated. After machine washing, your garment may shed, shrink, warp or stretch.

But don't be in a hurry to get upset. The jacket can be cleaned locally with a damp cloth and a little Fairy type detergent. If there are stains and streaks on such a jacket, then you can get rid of them with the help of ammonia: we dilute 1 tablespoon of alcohol in 200 ml of water.

Let's first consider the option of hand-washing a sintepon jacket:

1. The water temperature should not exceed 50 degrees. Ideally, it is better to stick to 30-40 degrees, this is guaranteed to save your jacket from deformation. Fill a tub or large basin with water.
2. Dilute a small amount of liquid gentle detergent. It is better not to use washing powder, as it will not dissolve well in not hot water and stains may remain on the product. Also, don't use bleach.
3. Dip your jacket in the water and lightly remember, not hard. It is important that the synthetic winterizer does not get lost and does not form lumps.
4. If there are stains on your clothes, clean them with a soft sponge and soap. Do not soak, as the insulation may suffer.
5. Take out your jacket and change the water to clean water. Rinse the product gently by changing the water several times. It is important that the detergents are completely drained from the insulation.
6. Gently squeeze the water out of the jacket, you can do this in an empty bathroom, pressing the product with your palms. Alternatively, hang the jacket on the hanger above the bathtub and gently squeeze the jacket from top to bottom, squeezing the water out of it.
7. Then you should spread a thick towel or terry sheet and lay out the jacket on it, checking if the insulation has shifted. When the garment has given up excess moisture to the fabric and is partially dry, it can be hung to dry vertically.

Preliminary preparation:

1. To get started, carefully study the labels with the manufacturer's instructions. It is important to observe the temperature regime, spinning and drying method.
2. Detach the hood or collar from the jacket if it is trimmed with natural fur. Or any removable fur decor with cuffs and hood. Remove the belt or belt.
3. Check all pockets for keys, forgotten change, or small items.
4. Check all seams of the product for integrity. Even the slightest divergence of the seam or slight surface damage during washing can turn into a huge hole, and worse, filler can break out through the holes and the product will be hopelessly damaged. All damage must be carefully sewn up.
5. Close all pockets and jacket zips. If there are massive pendants or hanging accessories, it is better to remove or tie them to avoid damage.
6. Before the main wash, pre-wash and wash the cuffs and collar. If there are stains and dirt, then they must also be washed by hand, otherwise, during general washing, they may remain and you will have to wash the product.

Procedure:

1. Turn the jacket inside out and put it in the car. There should be only one product, it is better not to report anything, even if the drum seems empty to you. The jacket should not be laid in a lump, but carefully distributed. If you are worried that your jacket might be damaged, load it into a special washing bag.
2. Instead of a powder, choose a liquid detergent, it is well washed out of the padding polyester and does not leave streaks on the surface of the product. It is good if the product is for delicate fabrics.In addition, the composition should not contain whitening ingredients or stain removers.
3. Set the water temperature to 30-40 degrees. At higher temperatures, the item may deform.
4. It is better to set the washing mode "synthetics" or, if the machine allows it, it is better to choose "hand" or "delicate wash".
5. For a more even washing, special balls for washing are placed in the drum, they gently smooth and beat off the product, preventing the synthetic winterizer from straying into lumps. If you do not have such devices, some housewives recommend adding 3-4 tennis balls to the drum. Next, start the wash.
6. To be sure to avoid streaks on the jacket, it is better to set the additional rinse mode.
7. If spinning is allowed, then it is necessary to set no more than 600 revolutions. Then we take out the jacket and, spreading it on a horizontal surface, blot it with a terry towel, this will speed up the drying time.
8. In the case when the prohibition of spinning is indicated, after completing the wash, take the jacket out of the machine and, gently pressing, squeeze it in an empty bathroom. Then, as in the case of hand washing, dry it first horizontally, carefully straightening it. At the same time, we carefully align the filler if it is strayed somewhere and deformed. In this case, towel dabbing is also possible. And then we finish drying it on a hanger, hanging it on a rope or door.

It is important to remember the basic rules. When washing a synthetic winter jacket, it is prohibited:

• Apply powder and bleach.
• Wash at high temperatures.
• Wring out, twisting the product strongly.
• Dry in batteries or direct sun.

All of the above recommendations apply equally to washing autumn, winter or demi-season clothes on a padding polyester. The only exception exists for washing white jackets.

Once completely dry, there are several methods for making the jacket look good. Some fabrics can be ironed, which is also indicated on the label. In this case, you need to iron the product through a cotton cloth or gauze, turning on the steaming mode. So, the synthetic winterizer will not additionally press down, but under the influence of steam it will fluff up and return its volume.

It's also a good idea to use steamerif available. Wash a synthetic winterizer jacket correctly 2-3 times a season, avoiding heavy dirt. So it will last a long time and retain its attractive appearance.
