Tips 1 – Washing Method

You can wash your heated jacket by hand as normal. Or you can wash your heated jacket by machine on a delicate cycle. If possible, please use a laundry bag to take care your heated jacket fabrics. It depends on your heated jacket material.
Tips 2 – Remove Your Power Bank
Have you ever thought that a power bank is used inside a heated jacket? Every heated jacket is equipped with a power bank that have been deigned waterproofable.
In contrast, we strongly advise removing your power bank before washing more as a courtesy to your washing machine, as there is still a chance that it will be destroyed in your washing machine even if it is water-resistant.
Tips 3 – Pre-treat Remove All the Strong Stain
Liquid laundry detergent or a specialty product is used to pre-treat stains. If your coat has stains, it’s best to spot treat them before washing the jacket to ensure the stains come out. Rub liquid laundry detergent or a laundry stain remover directly act over each stain and let the jacket sit for 10 minutes before putting it in the washing machine.
Note: When you start cleaning, remember to take out your heater jacket pocket and close the zipper. If you try to find a persistent surface on the lining, don’t be surprise, you need to use more washing solutions than usual.
Tips 4 – Wash Your Heated Jackets
Zip up the heated jacket and pockets before loading it. The zippers on the heated jacket can get stuck on other clothes in the machine and rip them. Protect your other clothes by closing all the zippers on the jacket before starting the wash cycle.
- Also remove any loose or detachable pieces, like detachable hoods.
- Check your jacket’s pockets and empty them, if needed, before washing.
Wash heated jackets by themselves to avoid damaging them. Best practice is washing each heated jacket separately. This way, you avoid staining or heated jackets getting caught on each other and ripping.
If you have a few heated jackets of the same type and material, then you can wash them together. Never mix heated jacket types and materials.
Additional precautions include not using super-hot water, bleach, or folding your heated jacket excessively, which may result in excessive compression of your heated jacket. To give your heated jacket a relaxing warm bath, use warm water and a gentle cycle.
Tips 5 – Dry Your Heated Jackets
Now, it is an important part of drying any washed heated jacket. After the washing cycle is completed, please remove the items from the machine immediately.
Dry your heated clothes only on a hanger or clothesline even if it’s very tempting, resist the urge to squeeze your heated jacket at first. Don’t! Put your step on a heated jacket, especially when it is wet, as this will harm the feathers.
You may not have a dryer at home, but you can dry your heated jacket at any time. To do so, store your heated jacket in a warm, dry place and cover it with a towel to protect it from direct sunlight.
Note: You must understand that drying a heated jacket is a time-consuming process, so plan on spending some time at home. You can’t use too much heat to dry your jacket without damaging it. When your heated jacket is dry, store it in a well-ventilated area. This prevents any remaining dampness from causing a drop in the filling.
