[Closed] Recommendations for down jacket cleaning

Franklins in Sheffield is the place that Rab recommends.

They've always done a great job for me.

+1. Sent my sleeping bag off to them and it's like new.
Could give it a go yourself if you’ve got time and patience. Sadly I was lacking both.

I need to wash mine. The label says it can be machine washed but I don't want it to loose its lovely pillowy springiness.

i threw caution to the wind and chucked mine in the washing machine.

so far so good, but it was a 50quid alpkit sale number that has been through the wars so wrecking it wouldnt have been terrible. (it def needed a wash)

Washed my Rab a few times...... When you tumble dry it you need to put a few tennis ball in with it to keep it pillowy! Makes one hell of a noise but you don't lose the bounce!!

I've used the Nikwax down wash in the past and tumbled dried. Worked well and the jacket still has lots of puff.

if it do well , that will worth to try ,but some of them often claim to do well ,but can not work as they have said ,hope that your recommendation is right ! thanks ! 🙂

+1 for Nikwax down wash and tumble dry with tennis balls. Actually restored some of the fluffiness it had lost through use (Rab jacket) 🙂

Another +1 for Nikwax downwash and the tennis ball tumble dry. The tumble dry perks them right back up if they get soaked in the rain too.

Thanks, I'll give Franklins a call.
