Used this for my puffer jacket and it worked really well. The material came out clean without feeling stripped or clumpy. Didn’t have a strong smell either, which is a plus. Would definitely grab this again when I need to wash other down items. Was pretty easy to use. For the size it was a little pricey, but worked great.

I have an old Campmor 20F down rectangular bag that I bought in the early-90's. It was dirty and smelly from years of use. Being afraid of damaging the down, I never got around to washing it back then. Then it was stored in the downstairs closet for years. This wash worked very well and the bag is again fluffy and extremely pleasant to sleep in again. I can't say this wash is any better than the others, but if you are worried about damaging your precious down sleeping bag, just follow the simple directions on the bottle and it will come out great. I found that after the wash and rinse cycle, let the bag dry for a day spread out in a room with a dehumidifier, then run it in the dryer at low heat or no heat with a few other objects and it works very well separating and fluffing the down. I also washed two down jackets the same way and they came out awesome too.

I have a down jacket that was gifted to me years back. I was told to never wash it and only spot-clean as needed and the tag said to avoid taking it to the cleaners. As you guessed, despite my best efforts, it gradually became dirty and grimy. I found this solution after looking on google and took the plunge. I followed the directions and made sure to be extra-gentle, only agitating the coat/light pressing to avoid damaging the down. It's rather hard to get all of the suds off, but that can be remedied with extra rinses with water.I then threw it into the dryer on the lowest settings for heat (instead of clean tennis balls, I ended up using sandals that I rinsed and covered in socks) and ended up drying it for roughly 3 hours with 20 minute intervals in-between to fluff the coat up. It certainly takes a long time to dry, but it's worth it. I thought the smell of the solution would permeate the jacket after I was done, but I could barely smell it after it was dried! You can tell it's dried once the down stops clumping together. I did have the issue where the down ended up being shoved into wedges/corners and leaving other places unfilled, but it was addressed by shaking the jacket. I couldn't even feel the chilly breeze brushing against my body with the jacket and the discolored sleeves were all/mostly clean (it was really bad before).The only change I would request would be to have a top that's marked for easy measuring, but eyeballing the amount worked perfectly for me. One wash ended up taking 1/3 of the bottle, so make sure to order more if you plan on washing multiple items!

I was able to clean what I wanted to with this product, and it worked well (I think!). But the price is very high for the volume, and you have to use a lot in one wash. relative to the price of what you are washing i guess it is worth it.

I’ve owned my Canada Goose parka for a couple years. I knew going into it that having an expensive, Dry Clean Only white coat would be stressful, but I found an irresistible deal and decided to take a chance. Plus, I do think the white looks very stylish.Spot cleaning worked okay for a while, but over time certain areas built up grime that I just couldn’t remove. There is no dry cleaner anywhere near me that specializes in Canada Goose, so I was afraid I’d have to accept a dingy coat until I could afford a different color.But I kept wondering “what if” and the internet convinced me I could probably wash my coat. I know it’s quite privileged to be able to experiment with a Canada Goose and risk ruining it, but it was heading toward ruination anyway in my mind.I decided to try Nikwax because it was most commonly recommended. I used two capfuls and followed their recommendation to use a slow spin and extra rinse. I was thrilled to see that there was no color bleed whatsoever from the black trim or the patch! All of the dinginess washed right out!I popped it in the dryer with some dryer balls and ran several 60-minute sessions on the lowest heat setting. It puffed up nicely with only a few clumps that I broke up by hands. I didn’t have any issues with greasy looking spots or stains that others have reported.Some minor things to be aware of:- the fleece lining of the pockets pilled up a bit and feels less velvety soft. A bummer, but it’s not seen and a small price to pay for a clean coat- I stupidly did not think to button up the flap that covers the zipper, and there’s some very minor chipping of paint from the zips clinking around in the dryer- You’ll void the warranty if you machine wash, but my coat didn’t have a warranty anyway (as far as I know) since I bought it used.Overall I’m beyond pleased with this product, and the knowledge that I can stress less about keeping my coat pristine each winter. Kicking myself for not taking “before” pictures, but the after pics show that it emerged unscathed.
