    Thanks so much for this video! I just wanted to mention something for those watching cos I was panicking when after drying it for a little while the feathers were still clumped together. The dryer DOES do most of the work as explained in the video. I had left mine in there for about 2 hours and it came out nice and puffy 😍

    Thank you for the idea of what soap to use and the 3 tennis balls. My Washing machine and Dryer is LG. I make it 2 rinse, and 2 spin at 400 rpm at 20 degrees Celsius. Drying 2x at High at 29 minutes. Looks brand new again.

    Very nice and pleasant video. I still don't get what the Tennis balls are really doing if you have to do so much by hands and it seems a lot of work too. I just read another one involving ping pong balls I wonder what's the difference? Thanks for putting this here.

    • @TheHoudaman
      @TheHoudaman 2 роки тому

      a year late but the tennis balls basically hit the clumps to help dislodge the feathers from eachother as they dry, same thing as doing it by hand, ping pong balls are the same concept but they seem too light to work imo, i used a hard spikey plastic ball

      Thankyou so much for watching! My jacket is a size 10. I’d say they’re pretty true to size. I would usually wear a size 8 in tops but always go up a size for jackets so I can wear layers underneath 😊

      You can do it without a dryer but it will take a really long time to dry. Once it’s completely dry you should be able to give it a gentle shake or use your hands to separate the clumps. They won’t separate if they’re still wet! 🌻

    did you zip in all the zips ?
    taking it out of the washing machine could have been done more gently.
    also hanging it out could be more more gentle - not letting large portions hang and but instead rest on the surface of the drier.
    and would also not squeeze it like that.

      Hey Brandon!
      I personally have not tried this without a dryer however I imagine it would be achievable. You would need to regularly go in and break up the clumps of feathers throughout the drying process. Keep in mind your jacket would probably take days to dry without using a dryer.

      I wouldn’t recommend using a normal detergent as it can damage the down. But that doesn’t mean it definitely will. Let it dry and then reassess 😊 Keep in mind it is likely to take a very long time to air dry - possibly a week or more!
      If you have access to a laundromat you may wish to use one of their dryers to speed up the process.
