Does anyone have tips on drying a down jacket without a tumble dryer? I'm washing it in my home machine. Ta!

Answer 1

The "best" tip I got from a local outdoor store was to put a couple tennis balls in the dryer(cool air,not hot) with your jacket or anything down. The balls help seperate and fluff up the feathers. I do this to my vests and sleeping bag...turn out great!
Hope this helps you.

Answer 2

Wash Down Jacket

Answer 3

Outside on a breezy day is best, but you'll have to turn it and shake it during drying, so that the down ( which is the soft 'fur' from a ducks breast) is spread out evenly. If you can borrow a mates tumble dryer, put 3 tennis balls in the dryer with the jacket - this will do the same!

Answer 5

Tumble Drier. My clothes are always dry at least 5 minutes before the washer stops

Answer 6

Not sure what a down jacket is, but try drying it until nearly dry then blow dry it with your hair dryer.

Answer 7

i think drying in a tumble dryer turned inside out is the best for down,it makes it fluffier,use fabric softner sheets

Answer 8

you'll have to just let it air dry. I dont know if you live in the south but its pretty freakin hot down here during the day. it'll be easy to dry. but that's basically it. Just hang it up in your house. you dont wanna mess that jacket up.

Answer 9

I would hang it in the airing cupboard where your hot water tank is overnight should so the trick

Answer 10

if you have an airing cupboard hang it in there will dry over night or within a couple of days
