Details

Grangers Down Wash is a wash-in product designed to gently clean all natural and synthetic down-filled items without damaging or inhibiting their insulating or hydrophobic properties.

Picking the right detergent when washing down items is incredibly important. Regular household laundry detergents can leave various chemical residues behind after washing, reducing a garment’s ability to insulate or repel water. Grangers Down Wash, on the other hand, has been formulated to thoroughly clean down items without damaging the delicate material within.

Just as important as washing down correctly is ensuring that it is dried correctly. Tumble drying down articles is always the best way to maintain their loft and prevent clumping – thereby prolonging the life of the article and improving its performance. Drying for two to three hours on a low heat is recommended – as is regular agitation to ensure that the down filling does not ‘clump together’ as it dries.

Grangers Down Wash is suitable for use on all down-filled clothing and equipment, including sleeping bags, jackets, and gilets.

  • Specially formulated to clean all down-filled articles, including sleeping bags and jackets.
  • Removes dirt and neutralises odour without reducing loft or impairing performance.
  • Can be used to prepare a garment for future water-proofing treatments.
  • Best used in conjunction with a tumble dryer – down items should always be tumble dried when appropriate.
  • A bluesign® system approved product. 

Grangers Down Wash is a gentle wash-in cleaner, free from the perfumes, optical brighteners, and heavy cleaning agents found in regular laundry detergents.

Contains <5% non-ionic surfactants; preservative (1, 2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one, 2-methyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one).

This product is an updated version of Grangers Down Cleaner. Usage instructions are as follows:

  • Use one 50ml capful per wash load, or half a cap if hand-washing. For sleeping bags, use two capfuls.
  • If possible, avoid washing down items in top-loading washing machines, as this can potentially damage the down filling.
  • Wash on a full cycle (wash, rinse, and spin) at 30°C or 86°F.
  • Dry down garments as per their care label instructions; always tumble dry where possible. We recommend drying on a low heat for two to three hours, or until the garment is completely dry.

This product is suitable for use on all clothing and equipment containing either natural or synthetic down.
