Hand washing it in a bathtub is really nice too! The arm pits are really the only thing that gets a smell. I just turn it inside out and scrub the pits really good and it works great!
Have you ever washed a Save the Duck lightweight jacket? I followed the tags and handwashed (that was a complete nightmare with the amount of water it collected). We removed the water well and hug to dry to find I have water stains all over. The tag says to handwash and tumble dry low. Called the company but they were no help.
Mine hasn’t started to smell yet, I only wore it 4 or 5 times but it h has a little stain from thousand islands sauce. Any idea how to treat the stains?
It's "OK", but in order to restore the down in your jacket to it's normal "fluff" it's much easier to do with a dryer and tennis balls. If you hang dry it you need to be attending to it while it drys, making sure to turn it and fluff it as it drys.
@@shedreamsofalpine Thank you, Since I have no drier so I need to line dry. I just afraid that down will dropped to the bottom if hanging it. However, thanks for the tip.
I would like to buy a new puffy down coat. The issue is, I've been washing all my clothes on the 2-hour, hot sanitize cycle, due to covid (I have a chronic illness and need to avoid germs). So would that harm it? My main fear is I don't want it to rip, and the feathers to come out and ruin my washing machine. Please let me know what you think, thanks.
Yes! It works the same way! I'll be dropping a video on that next week, but essentially it's the same way. Sometimes I'll turn my sleeping bag inside out first though since the inside has a lot of dirt in it from getting in and out of the bag.
Didn’t have any tennis balls, so used several rolled up socks instead. Worked ok 👍

Hang dry? dry flat?
Do you have a Patagonia Nano Air how-to clean tutorial? Thanks.

This is a good question. I would reach out to maybe a company like Patagonia to ask them about this! They have a pretty responsive help desk.
@@shedreamsofalpine Ok, thanks
Covid doesn't live on a surface. They originally thought that it did. Now they know it's airborne. So I wouldn't worry about that side of things.
Thanks 👍
I don’t think I would’ve dared drop my down in a washing machine unti I watched this video. Have you tried this with a down sleeping bag?
