How to Dry Your Down Jacket Without Tennis Balls
Contents
Here’s how to dry your down jacket without tennis balls, the proper way. This will help keep your jacket in good condition and prevent any damage.
Hang your jacket from a clothesline or hanger
If you have a clothesline or hanger, this is the best way to dry your jacket. First, make sure to read the care label inside your jacket to see if it’s okay to put in the dryer. If it is, then hang your jacket from a clothesline or hanger outside or in a well-ventilated room.
Place tennis balls in the jacket pockets
If you have a down jacket that’s in need of a little TLC, here’s a great way to get it clean and dry without using any harsh chemicals. All you need are a few tennis balls and a clothesline.
To start, make sure your jacket is clean. If it’s really dirty, you may want to wash it first. Then, place two or three tennis balls in each of the jacket pockets. Next, hang your jacket on a clothesline or drying rack and let it air dry. The tennis balls will help fluff up the down as it dries, and your jacket will be good as new in no time!
Dry your jacket on low or air dry
Drying your down jacket is a little different than drying other types of jackets. You want to be sure to dry it on low or air dry to avoid damaging the feathers. You also want to be sure to put it in the dryer with some tennis balls or other similar objects. This will help fluff up the feathers and keep them from clumping together.
Remove the tennis balls once the jacket is dry
Once your down jacket is dry, remove the tennis balls and store them in a dry, cool place. You can use them again the next time you need to dry your jacket.
