Washing technical down clothing and sleeping bags is a notoriously difficult process. Grangers Down Wash Kit makes things easy, with a specially formulated Down wash and reusable drying balls to prevent clumping. Picking the right detergent when washing down items is incredibly important. Regular household laundry detergents may leave garments looking clean, but they also leave various chemical residues behind after washing – reducing a garment’s ability to insulate or repel water. Grangers Down Wash, on the other hand, has been formulated to thoroughly clean down items without damaging the delicate material within. Just as important as washing down correctly is ensuring that it is dried correctly. Tumble drying down articles is always the best way to maintain their loft and prevent clumping – thereby prolonging the life of the article and improving its performance. Drying for two to three hours on a low heat is recommended, with all three drying balls being used for the duration of the drying process. Grangers Down Wash Kit is suitable for use on all down-filled clothing and equipment, including sleeping bags, jackets, and gilets.
