How to clean oil stains on down jackets

As autumn turns to winter and the winter winds get biting cold, the down jackets, cotton coats, woolen trousers, thermal underwear and other warm clothes in people's wardrobes will come in handy. When wearing a down jacket, many people will put on gloves on the outside. This is mainly to prevent the down jacket from getting dirty. After all, down jackets are usually worn on the outside, and if they get dirty, it will be bad for the individual's overall image.

In fact, besides the fact that people are afraid of getting their down jackets dirty and affecting their image, there is another important reason. That is because down jackets contain animal hair, which will become heavy after being soaked in water and easy to clean, especially oil stains on down jackets, which are more difficult to clean. Next, let us introduce how to clean oil stains on down jackets.

The simplest and quickest way to remove oil stains on down jackets is to use detergent to clean them. You can also mix flour into a paste and apply it to the oil stains. Leave it for 10 hours, then use a brush dipped in clean water to gently brush off the flour and the oil stains will be removed naturally.

If you are removing animal and plant oil stains, animal and plant oil stains are common stains on clothing and are also a kind of polar liquid stains. They can be removed by wiping or brushing with organic solvents such as solvent gasoline, tetrachloroethylene, etc. When scrubbing, use a towel or cotton cloth to absorb the stain solution wiped off in time to remove it from the surface of the clothes. If marks appear, they can be removed by repeated wiping or brushing over a larger area.

If you need to remove oil stains from machines, you can use gasoline to brush lighter colored stains. Then place a piece of blotting paper or cloth above and below the oily stain on the clothes and iron it with an iron. Change the paper or cloth repeatedly and iron it several times to make the oil evaporate further and be absorbed by the paper or cloth until all the oil stains are completely absorbed. Finally, wash with detergent and rinse with clean water.

The above are the cleaning methods for different oil stains on different down jackets. However, it is worth noting that down jackets contain rich animal down hair. After drying, the down jackets will generally become softer than before, but in clumps. At this time, we need to pat the down jacket with both hands to make the down jacket softer.
