Granger'sWash + Repel Down 2-In-1 - Wash and Reproofing In One Bottle, Plastic Bottle, 10 Fl Oz

You should know two things about using this product: it takes over four hours from start to finish to clean a down jacket right, and this is not your usual casual laundry.I own the Patagonia Primo ski jacket. 800 count down, three ply Gore-Tex. I did not want to screw it up. Here in Chicago, a warm waterproof jacket literally keeps me alive while working outside in the winter. I cannot afford (in all meanings of the word) for my winter coat to fail.I did a lot of research before I put it in the wash with this cleaner. I can say it works well; the down is as lofty as new, the Gore-Tex unaffected, and the Durable Water Resistance (DWR) renewed.I took several steps the ensure success, based on advice from the Arcteryx clothing YouTube channel, Patagonia’s site and clothing label, and other sources.First, I ran my washing machine empty, normal wash, hot water, to get all detergent residue out. Regular detergents have enzymes that can damage down; you don’t want it in your coat.I zipped my main zipper closed (always a good thing to do in any case), and closed my pocket zippers halfway, to protect them but yet allow the pockets to get clean. Ditto my pit zips.I loosened all cord locks so the hood and waist were fully relaxed and opened.I set my Velcro cuffs to their widest.I washed the coat with two caps of cleaner, with the machine set for delicates, warm water, gentle spin.When it was completed I ran a rinse/spin cycle, cold water, gentle spin.The jacket was sopping wet when all that was done. I laid it flat on a beach towel, then gently rolled it up like a burrito, without squeezing or wringing, to remove excess water.Then, into the dryer, on low heat, with two tennis balls, as specified by Patagonia. I added a dry beach towel to help absorb the water; this seemed to speed thing up a bit, but I’d like to hear if people think this is a good or bad idea. I checked on it every half hour or so; I turned it inside out to facilitate the drying. It takes about three hours in the dryer to dry completely.Out of the dryer the loft was exceptional, and a little water dribbled on the coat ran right off without being absorbed, proving the DWR was renewed. I’ve taken it out in a moderate rain storm, and it’s still waterproof.I hope these tips help you out. I’m pleased with the results I achieved.Winter is coming. Grangers has helped me get ready for it.

Works nicely, but pretreat areas like sleeve cuffs, because the spin at the end of the cycle deposits there anything not rinsed out.

Washed my london fog puffer jacket. Followed instructions, ran front loader washer to get residue out. Washed in delicate cycle and dryed in casual setting with 3 new tennis balls. Jacket inside out and zipped all up. I am so happy with my clean warm jacket again. :-)

One bottle has approximately 5 wash cycles amount. The puff definitely gets restored. Not sure on how thorough and clean the wash is on the down inside - feels clean nonetheless. I would look at a different line or product if your concern is mostly on the water repellent restoration.

Easy one step and my ski gear looks almost brand new.

I used this to wash my puffer jackets. Works well and lasts a long time since you don't need to use a lot.

I've used my down bag for 3 extended backpacking trips now, and boy does it need to be cleaned when I get home. I can't legally describe what it smells like once we finally get home. By the kit that comes with the balls the first time, and then buy this as a refill each time after that. It all cleans up as good as it was when it was brand new.

I did all my down jackets and vests a few months ago and they look perfect, and still repel the wet snow and rain after.I’ll def be purchasing more in the future .
