Care and Cleaning Instructions:
Q: How should I clean my down items? Is it safe to wash down?
A: Yes. Washing your down gear is not only safe, it’s one of the best ways to restore loft and extend its life. Use only low-sudsing, down-specific detergent and run an extra rinse cycle to make sure all soap is removed. We recommend placing your quilt in a large commercial-style laundry bag to protect it from sharp edges or hot spots in the washer and dryer. Always use a front-loading, tumble-style washer on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid agitator-style machines. Dry on low heat until completely dry, using dryer balls to break up clumps and restore fluff. Never use high heat, and never store your quilt if any dampness remains.
Q: How do I know when my down product needs to be cleaned?
A: It’s time to wash your quilt or garment when body oils, hair oils, or lotions start to build up. Signs include reduced loft, a heavier feel, or visible discoloration of the fabric. Cleaning at this stage will bring back warmth and performance.
Q: What’s the proper way to store my down quilt after a trip?
A: Storage matters. When you return home, turn your quilt inside out and air it out for a couple of days to make sure it’s fully dry. Then store it loosely in a large breathable storage sack. Never keep your quilt packed in a tight stuff sack, and avoid waterproof bags that can trap moisture and cause mildew. The goal is cool, dry, well-ventilated storage with the quilt fully lofted.
Q: Is it okay to store my quilt in a compression sack?
A: No. Long-term compression will reduce loft over time. If you need to store it partially compressed, use a breathable bag only. The best option is the large mesh storage sack we provide, or a cotton pillowcase, kept in a dry area with stable temperatures. Avoid sunlight exposure except when drying, as heat can damage the natural oils in the down.
Q: Will my quilt ever be as fluffy as it was when new?
A: Absolutely. With proper care, loft can return to original levels. Regular use, good air circulation, proper storage, and occasional washing all help maintain maximum performance. You can also shake out your quilt before use or tumble dry it on low heat to quickly restore fluff.
Q: How long will my quilt last?
A: With basic care and occasional cleaning, your down quilt can last for decades. Treat it well and it will outlast most of your other gear. So take care of it, and get out there and enjoy it!
