I used it on a well-worn down jacket that had started to feel flat and slightly damp in light rain. After one wash and proper tumble drying, the difference was immediate. The jacket felt lighter, much puffier, and noticeably warmer. It genuinely restored the loft and performance. What stood out most is how well it cleans without damaging the down. Regular detergents can leave residues that attract moisture and reduce insulation, but this product avoids that and helps maintain water resistance. It’s also very straightforward to use. Just add it to the washing machine like normal detergent. There’s no strong chemical smell either, which I appreciated. Pros Restores loft and warmth very effectively Helps improve water resistance Gentle on down with no residue build-up Easy to use in a standard wash Cons More expensive than regular detergent Proper drying is still essential for best results Overall, if you own a down jacket or sleeping bag, this is well worth it. It helps extend the life of your gear and keeps it performing as it should. I would definitely buy it again. Review: This is the best. - I can’t recommend this down wash enough. In my view it’s the best. I’ve got a few down coats (some are synthetic down) including an expensive Jack Wolfskin winter-weight waterproof, windproof heavy duty jacket. I’ve just washed that and followed up with the wash-in waterproofer from Nikwax and the coat came up like brand new. I’m really impressed with how easy it is to use in the washing machine and it gives excellent results every time. There’s no odour and it removes all stains. Highly recommended and personally I wouldn’t use anything else. The one litre bottle is great value for money too. Thank you. ## Features - Causes serious eye irritation. - Use biocides safely.

For drying the coat?** A: Yes, Drying down is a difficult process, i would put the garment in a tumble dryer with "Dryer Balls" these are essential to break up the clumps of down inside your jacket. Thanks Colin Kitwizard.co.uk **Q: Where do you add the cap fulls? I’m the detergent draw where fabric softer would go or in the actual drum?** A: Hi there, I personally add the product to the drum as there is a residue of detergent in the draw. But if the draw is clean then you can put it in there. Ian **Q: Is the 1ltr a bottle or refill bag?** A: It looks like a bag but the 1 litre I ordered was a bottle. Perhaps different sources? **Q: Does this take the "wet dog" smell out of new down jackets?** A: No, but the down should only smell weird while it is wet or damp. Cool tumble the jacket afterwards until properly dry and fluffy and it won’t smell. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good buy *by J***M on 30 March 2026* ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Brings your down jacket back to life, worth every penny I was sceptical about buying a specialist cleaner just for down, but after using this I completely understand why it’s needed.
