To get grease out of a down coat, follow these steps:
1. Blot the grease stain with a clean cloth or paper towel to remove excess grease.
2. Sprinkle cornstarch or talcum powder on the stain and let it sit for a few minutes to absorb the grease.
3. Gently brush off the powder and repeat if necessary.
4. Apply a small amount of dishwashing liquid or laundry detergent to the stain and gently rub it in with a soft brush or cloth.
5. Rinse the area with warm water until the soap is completely removed.
6. Pat dry with a towel and let the coat air dry completely before wearing it again.
Remember to always check the care label on your coat before attempting any cleaning methods.
Grease stains can be quite difficult to remove from any type of fabric. In order to get rid of them, you need to dissolve the grease. Regular laundry detergent is usually not strong enough to remove grease on its own, so you will need a degreaser. When dealing with a grease stain on a down coat, it is important to remove the stain without causing any damage to the down or the outer shell of the coat.
Step 1
Start by laying the coat flat on a hard surface so that you can easily access the grease stain. Apply a few drops of dishwashing detergent to the stain and gently rub it in using your fingers. Allow the detergent to sit on the stain undisturbed for a couple of hours, as recommended by mrscleanusa.com.
Step 2
Wash the down coat separately in your washing machine. Select the “Large” load setting and set the water temperature to “Cold.” Use a gentle cycle and a detergent that is effective in cold water. You may need to push the coat down into the water until it becomes fully wet and heavy.
Step 3
Once the washing cycle is complete, remove the down coat from the washer and check to see if the grease stain has been completely removed. If not, repeat Steps 1 and 2. If the stain is gone, proceed to Step 4.
Step 4
Place the coat in your clothes dryer and set it to the “Low” heat setting. The drying time will depend on the size of the coat, how wet it is, and your specific dryer. A medium-sized coat will usually take around an hour to dry.
