Expert-style Washing Guides, Here's The Secret So That The Puffer Jackets Tetao Are Mampuk And Awet

JAKARTA - There is a reason why a buffer jacket becomes a mainstay when the weather is cold, which is light, warm, and easy to mix with various styles. However, behind its casual and sporty appearance, a buffer jacket turns out to require special treatment when washed. One wrong step can make the contents of the jacket pave, shape changes, and even loses the ability to keep the body warm. The good news is, with the right technique, you can clean your own buffer jacket at home without having to depend on dry cleaning while maintaining the shape and shape and uniqueness typically maintained for years.

The main key to caring for a buffer jacket is to understand that the outer layer and its filling work together to maintain comfort. That is, too aggressive washing methods, the wrong water temperature, to improper selection of detergents can damage the structure of the contents. Clothing care experts suggest measurable steps: ranging from special stain care, choosing the appropriate washing method, to drying techniques that help jackets expand again beautifully.

The following is a complete guide to washing a buffer jacket, both manually and using a washing machine, so that it looks like it is new every time it is worn, launching Real Simple, Monday, November 24.

Before plunging into the full washing process, focus on the spots you can see. House cleaning expert, Marla Mock, president of Molly Maid, a neighbourly company recommends removing the stains (spot cleaning) with a soft liquid detergent. Drop one to two drops of detergent in a polluted area, then gently rub using the tip of the finger. Let the detergent absorb at least 15 minutes in order to work through the fabric fiber.

If you just want to refresh certain parts of the jacket, rinse the stain with cold water and hang it until dry. However, when the jacket feels dull and needs a thorough cleaning, proceed to the handwashing process or machine. For stubborn spots or color changes, some experts also recommend using powder-shaped oxygen bleach mixed with water until it becomes pasta, applied to the surface of the jacket, left it for a while, then rinsed or washed as usual.

For those of you who want to play safe, washing with your hands is a gentle way that is quite friendly for materials and jacket fillings.

The steps:

This method does require a little more time and effort, but it is ideal for a buffer jacket with more sensitive ingredients or fillings.

Outside of washing, there are some small habits that can make your buffer jacket last longer:

With proper care, your favorite buffer jacket will not only feel warm in the body, but also delicious to look at every season. A little extra effort when washing and drying can make it look like it just came out of the boutique, ready to accompany your winter OOTD, year after year.
