What makes our down detergent

The formulation of the detergent is chosen so that the down is not degreased. This keeps the fine down filaments soft, supple and puffable. Even after many washes and several years, you can still rely on a cozy jacket with optimal insulating properties.

Our down detergent does not contain microplastics, silicone or kerosene. When choosing our raw materials, we deliberately decided against cheaper palm oil and instead use coconut oil for our surfactants.

Down Wash Eco, like all our detergents, washes out without leaving any residue - without harming the environment, because it is biodegradable in accordance with EC regulations. We also pay attention to sustainability when it comes to packaging. Our German-made bottles are made of 100% recycled plastic and can be reused many times.

Down washing and drying

Down products such as jackets, sleeping bags or pillows can be washed in the washing machine without any problems. You will find more details and setting recommendations with the product. Almost more important than the washing itself is the drying afterwards. We recommend using a dryer. So that the down does not clump and is loosened up, to the wash additionally 2-3 tennis balls are given with in the drum. After the cycle, the good piece should be checked for residual moisture and the process repeated if necessary. In our experience, a down jacket must be put in the dryer two times in a row.
