How To Keep North Face Clean?

Question

I have a yellow North Face denali jacket and its starting to get dull. Not like the yellow it was when i bought it. How do I wash the jacket to get it to be like it was when i bought it?
Also, it got ridges and flattened in the back. How do I keep the jacket "fluffy" and get those ridges out?

Answer 1

Your jacket might be fading from sun exposure. However, you can try adding about 3c white vinegar to your wash cycle AND your rinse cycle. This should remove any deep-set dirt deposits and brighten the jacket. About fluffing it up, you can use 2-3 tennis balls in the dryier and they should do the trick.
