- Hey guys!
After much interest on my Instagram account I've decided to show you exactly how I wash my feather down jacket without ruining it! You will need a dryer for this technique, however I'm sure you could do this without a dryer but be prepared for a loooooong drying process.
Please note that I am NOT a feather down jacket washing professional. Follow this tutorial at your own risk! If you are not comfortable in washing your own jacket please seek a professional to help you.
Enjoy! . .

Nice.. it’s also good to turn your jacket inside out while washing
Thank you. I was glad to find an Aussie CZcamsr DIY.
LOVED IT.
Ok so wait mine is a shiny glossy one and it has like white dots when there is a strong light lighting it, how do I remove it? And does it differ if it's shiny or not?
Thank you for the idea of what soap to use and the 3 tennis balls. My Washing machine and Dryer is LG. I make it 2 rinse, and 2 spin at 400 rpm at 20 degrees Celsius. Drying 2x at High at 29 minutes. Looks brand new again.
Thankyou sweetheart. You just saved me bining 2 quality coats. Am indebted to you 🙌
Thanks so much for this video! I just wanted to mention something for those watching cos I was panicking when after drying it for a little while the feathers were still clumped together. The dryer DOES do most of the work as explained in the video. I had left mine in there for about 2 hours and it came out nice and puffy 😍
Dry cleaners better option 👍🏼
I've just bought a not jacket but without sleeves. I like it but I don't want to the hassle that you've shown us so return it. That was goood help. By the way, I don't use a tumble dryer as well.
Girl go to the point. Thanks
Girl skip to the point. She created the video and you are ungrateful. What would you do without her. Thanks
@@thanasisdiamantopoulos6200 What a simp.
Thank you very much for this video. This was just what wanted to know, because I was unsure how to clean my son's feather down jacket without Ruining it. ❤
My pleasure Estelle!
I got a new one and I noticed, sometimes a small feather coming out ... Because of that I worry on how to wash it,
Would using/adding conditioner/fabric softener to the cycle help resolve the clumping issue (bcoz the down would dry softer and separated like hair?) 🤷♀️
I definitely wouldn’t recommend adding any kind of detergent as this can damage the down. The down won’t clump once it’s dry 🙂
Thank u ma'am 😊.. It was very helpful for me.. 🥰.
My pleasure! 🥰
Thanks so much!! I've also been sitting on my jacket forever and I didn't want to ruin it completely!
So scary!! But I finally took the plunge and it was worth it! 😁 thanks for watching! ❤️
Since u said “ruin it completely” that means it was ruined abit?
Very nice and pleasant video. I still don't get what the Tennis balls are really doing if you have to do so much by hands and it seems a lot of work too. I just read another one involving ping pong balls I wonder what's the difference? Thanks for putting this here.
a year late but the tennis balls basically hit the clumps to help dislodge the feathers from eachother as they dry, same thing as doing it by hand, ping pong balls are the same concept but they seem too light to work imo, i used a hard spikey plastic ball
My TNF 800，been 5600km altitude，never wash for 12yrs😱 Always worry about ruin it , but it’s time to clean
Madam, I have no washing machine then how can I have use tennis ball 🤔 to make it quick dry.
Hi, thanks for this I will use these tips in the future. I'm thinking of buying a Macpac down jacket online and wanted to know what size jacket you have and what you recommend on sizing? Sorry this is a bit off the topic
Hi Elleese!
Thankyou so much for watching! My jacket is a size 10. I’d say they’re pretty true to size. I would usually wear a size 8 in tops but always go up a size for jackets so I can wear layers underneath 😊
I hope that helps! 💖
Thank you!! :)
My pleasure! 😊
I bought mine and wore them straight away, last Winter. Ugh! Now that it is starting to get colder again, I need to get them washed. They are begging for it and so am I lol. Thanks for your helpful vid. From a fellow Auzzie.
Thanks for watching! 🫶🏼
Hey Kate, just wondering if the jacket smells fresh nice soap smell (since softner is a no no)
If you want to damage your jacket follow Kate’s instructions
@@rocketrocket8853 well how do you not damage it then?
My mom just ruined mine couple hours ago lmao.. thank you very much for this
Lmfaoooo
Mine too
Mine to I’ve already washed it now it’s flat what do I do now
Same🤦🏾♂️
I'm soo broken. I just ruin my jacket
Hmm I don't have soap flakes and I don't have tennis balls - how am I guna do this 🤔😩
What if you already used standard detergent before watching your video?
Thanks for the video. Using soap flakes was a really good tip 👌😊. Could you do a video on how to wash leather jackets??
Granger or nikwax down wash I use and then treat with their waterproofing solution as keeps a good shower out
I ruined my new jacket by using fragrance liquid in washing machine.Any idea how to fix it?
So what happens if you already washed the down vest using regular Tide detergent pods the watched your video? It was clumpy when I removed it so I let it hang dry then put it in the dryer with racquet balls on the delicate setting 3 or 4 times. It came out all fluffy but is there going to be an issue with mold or bird flu or something since I used regular detergent?
Also I went to watch your Instagram posts but it looks like you changed the account name from the one you give here ….what happened?
L
You're jacket should be fine but you may have damaged the feathers inside with the detergent you used because they may have been stripped of certain porteins etc, its kind of like if you washed your hair with very harsh soap. But this is probably still fine because most of the warmthIin down jackets comes from the air pockets created etc
Could it dry and be back to normal without using a dryer ? Or would those clumps stay
You can do it without a dryer but it will take a really long time to dry. Once it’s completely dry you should be able to give it a gentle shake or use your hands to separate the clumps. They won’t separate if they’re still wet! 🌻
@@Katieree o
What the limit temperature of this jacket? So helpful if u reply my comment thx
I am looking for a solution, how to fix it?
Can you wash a down jacket with normal detergent or nah?
I wouldn’t recommend it no 👎🏼
@@Katieree Ok thank’s
Love It❤❤❤❤
Can i also do this with my canada goose parka?
hahahah..😬
can you tell me can we wash two jackets at the same time ?
If your washing machine is big enough, sure!
POV your a roadman
💀🙌🏼
Has anyone tried this with a northface puffer?
Lux is now rebranded in New Zealand as Softly.
What if you dont have a dryer. Is there anything that can be used to substitute a dryer?
Hey Brandon!
I personally have not tried this without a dryer however I imagine it would be achievable. You would need to regularly go in and break up the clumps of feathers throughout the drying process. Keep in mind your jacket would probably take days to dry without using a dryer.
Sorry I couldn’t be more help!
Thankyou for watching 🌻
Is it good to dry jacket in washing machine..
Sorry I’m not sure what you mean?
You can dry things in a washing machine uno 🤦🏾♂️
What called the other machine, sad thing i dont got it didnt even knew its a thing
A dryer 🙂
Watched the full only for one reason ‘you look beautiful ‘ ❤️
did you zip in all the zips ?
taking it out of the washing machine could have been done more gently.
also hanging it out could be more more gentle - not letting large portions hang and but instead rest on the surface of the drier.
and would also not squeeze it like that.
Thank you my down jacket is kinda dirty and smell funny lol
Happy to help! 😁
Or steam iron or dry clean simple
I've followed every but I ain't got slept fakes WHAT ELSE CAN YOU USE
Had I known it would be this difficult never would have bought the stupid coat. Never again
Why don't you spin or rinse in machine
Hi can you please do a video request of you putting in your tumbling dryer your down jacket unzipped for zipper sounds please? Please 🙏🙏
Does it loose it's puffyness?
Not at all! 😊
Thank you for your response.
What make is the jacket if you don't mind me asking?
This is a Macpac 😊
I've just bought a $220 tommy hilfiger jacket and I'm afraid to ruin when it'll be time to wash lol
Well I got one and I washed it with normal detergent and it got fucked up. Got clumps everywhere and I don't know how to fix it 🤦🏻♂️
@@ksclips8382 fk!
I've went on a shopping spree! And also bought 10 tommy flag custom-Fit polo shirts on a really good discount from tommy hilfiger on Amazon. They were originally $70 on the tommy website and bought them for $32 a piece. I've just checked again today and they've rising in price to $55 a piece. Anyways, upon receiving my shirts by mail I've just received 3 shirts yesterday. I've Immediately proceed to try them on and fell in love with the shirts. lol
@@Johnsal517 nice
I just washed my Down Gilet not knowing what would happen and it’s ruined :( I don’t have a tumble dryer and I’m trying to air dry it but it’s all clumped up and feels empty now :( :(
Hey Susan,
I’m sorry to hear this! Never fear though.. provided you used a gentle detergent, once the down has dried it will fluff back up 🙂 hang it in the shade somewhere and give it a gentle shake every now and then. It will be back to normal in no time ❤️
@@Katieree hi I used one of those pods you throw in with it, was that bad?
I wouldn’t recommend using a normal detergent as it can damage the down. But that doesn’t mean it definitely will. Let it dry and then reassess 😊 Keep in mind it is likely to take a very long time to air dry - possibly a week or more!
If you have access to a laundromat you may wish to use one of their dryers to speed up the process.
Goodluck! ❤️
@@Katieree thank you! You’ve eased my stress a little 😂❤️
My pleasure!! 🥰
Did anyone do this method on a Moncler jacket?
Oh richie rich. I ruined my Northface becuz it came with no instructions in English
Best advice would be „go to a professional laundry“.
Please reply back to my comments down below when you get a chance thank you!!
My god! So much talking not going straight to the info..
Do you ever wipe your jacket if you cant wash it
Just with a damp cloth yes 😊
Lol I'm watching after ruining ....my feather jacket
If there is one thing I dislike is video intros that last for ages unnecessarily. Prime example is right here on this video!!
Would you be interested in selling your jacket
Lol. I see it everywhere
You can’t put the jacket on at the very beginning of the video and then towards the very end so we can see the before and after AB comparisons?? 🤦🏼♂️😕
There’s no difference.. it looks exactly the same after - just cleaner! 😁
If it’s not the correct way to wash your down jacket,don’t wash it.Checklots more videos to be sure.not worth ruining a expensive jacket !!.
We all jus gonna ignore the fact the writing on her washing machine is upside down
She's in Australia, everything's upside down there.
Disclaimer ...i am not Cinderella or Jupiter Jones!!
My jacket is finished the feathers are all in bunches inside the jacket idk what to do
The feathers won’t separate until they’re dry 🙂
Kate Polizzi thank you it’s fixed
Is your jacket still ruined or nah? Because I have the same case right now 🤦🏻♂️
KS Clips it’s fine now I did everything she said and it worked
@@infinitememes8779 Yeh all I had to do is pull the feathers apart and it became fluffy it's better now
I just destroyed my Calvin I’m in a lot of pain
Bro my moncler jacket was finished but it’s fixed
Too bad. I have a down and feather Ted Baker jacket so I'll have a professional clean it. Too much money paid to fook up my jacket by cleaning it myself.
fuck i put it on the wash and it’s all flat
Put it in the dryer and it should fluff back up once the down is dry 😊
Why is there Kathmandu in the title?
It's the name of an Australia clothing brand
Kathmandu is capital city of my country, Nepal 😂
@@askesu9803 that's why I asked bro.. I'm Nepali
I thought that Kathmandu was overseas as well!
That fake down jacket from nepal 100 dollars only you can wash normal without tennis ball
I wonder why there is name kathmandu in your content name 🤔🤔
It’s the brand of the jacket 😊
@@Katieree actually m from nepal kate 😘😘
Alot of the advice you are giving is wrong. Most of them Pure soap flakes are not great better to use "Nikwax Down wash Direct" as this doesn't harm the down. and you MUST CLEAN OUT THE TOUGH
Hey there! As mentioned in the video I am just showing what has worked for me. I you do not feel these instructions are correct or don’t feel comfortable washing your own jacket please seek professional advice 😊 thanks for watching! 💕
Kate Polizzi I use the ember down jacket from macpac cause here it gets pretty cold in nsw on the border of nsw and vic around -15 on a cold day lowest it was here was -22 so you need to be warm to survive not like in Melbourne where comfortable is needed here it’s for survival and it roughly takes 5 days to clean the jacket and dry it so yeah a lot different stuff
not worth having buying feather anything
Lol
Please talk less and show the actions
I like her explanations!
Too much talking...
Thanks but this was too long. Really could have been done in 5 minutes. No one cares about any extra fluff talk.
Any time!
These kind of jacket are NOT washable. Point
It's not true, you can wash them, check your label.
Get on with it
you like talking !! don't you ?
Woohhh too much talking!! Tough to go through
Exactly what I was thinking
Shes talk to much
What a grating voice. Truly awful.
That’s so lovely of you. Thanks so much 🥰
Guys she just stuffed up the Jacket 😬😬😬
Don’t ever ever wash your jacket just take it to the Dry Cleaner and it comes out as brand new 👍🏼
