Insulated and down jackets need less frequent washings than most outerwear. Over extended use, however, dirt and oils can build on both the fabric and the down fill. To extend the life of Oiselle insulated outerwear do the following:
Follow care instructions on garment
Spot clean as necessary
Machine wash, ensuring all zippers are closed
For best results, use a specific down cleaning product such as Nikwax Down Wash Direct®
To maximize loft of the insulation, tumble dry your garment on a low setting with a couple of tennis balls which will prevent the insulation from clumping
Tumble drying your insulated jacket will help restore its durable water repellent (DWR) finish
