Can You Wash Moncler Jackets? Absolutely!
When it comes to merging utility with high fashion, few brands do it as effortlessly as Moncler. Known for their exquisite down jackets that reflect couture flair, these pieces often carry the label “dry clean only.” However, it’s essential to remember that Moncler jackets, initially crafted for adventurers in challenging terrains, are engineered to withstand the elements—including a washing machine!
Originally designed for athletes and explorers navigating extreme conditions, such jackets easily transition into urban settings. As such, they can hold up against washing cycles just as well! In this comprehensive guide, we’ll show you how to clean your washable Moncler jackets at home, whether you’re preparing for a city outing or a cozy ski lodge retreat.
A Quick Note of Caution: While many Moncler jackets are machine washable, those with non-removable fur or leather details should be handled with care and left to professional cleaners. If you’re ever in doubt about your jacket’s washing instructions, consult the care label. If it indicates “dry clean only,” it’s best to leave the cleaning to professionals.
Step 1: Treat Stains
To tackle stains on washable fabrics, start by applying a small amount of a specialized stain treatment like Stain Solution directly onto the affected area. Use a Stain Brush to gently work the solution into the fabric. It’s advisable to start with a dime-sized amount to avoid oversaturating the area; you can always add more if needed. Remember to perform a patch test to ensure that the color remains intact.
If the stain persists, consider placing the stained area under a gentle stream of lukewarm water to help work it out further.
Step 2: Prepare for Washing
Remove all detachable components of your jacket, like the hood, and check all pockets for any forgotten items, such as tissues or gloves!
To protect your jacket, place detachable pieces in a small mesh laundry bag and the main body of the jacket in a larger mesh bag. This precaution helps prevent tangling and snagging during the wash cycle. You might find a set of two Mesh Bags particularly useful for this purpose.
Step 3: Machine Wash Correctly
When you are ready to wash your Moncler jacket, choose a delicate or “hand wash” setting on your washing machine, utilizing cold water and a low spin cycle. It might be beneficial to add an additional spin cycle to effectively remove excess water from your jacket after washing.
Add a gentle, enzyme-free formula, such as Wool & Cashmere Shampoo, to the machine’s dispenser before starting the wash cycle. A handy Measuring Cup can help ensure you use the right amount every time.
Step 4: Drying Your Jacket
After washing, dry your Moncler coat on a very low heat setting with a low tumble. To help maintain the loft of the filling, consider adding Dryer Balls to your dryer. Before placing your jacket in the dryer, gently massage any clumps that may have formed to facilitate even drying. Remember, drying a Moncler coat requires a “low and slow” approach for optimal results; avoid high heat, which could damage the jacket’s fabric.
To keep your jacket fresh between washes, consider giving it a thorough steam to refresh it!
