Q: I used one of these for years and have owned and washed more than one. I found that washing with Nikwax down wash worked. The trick is always with the drying. Allow most of the water to drip out, then tumble dry, preferably with a tennis ball (or similar) in with it. This will retain the loft. They can also be pepped up in the same way if they don't really need the wash. A: Thanks for the great advice! |
