Key Questions Answered
Wash your puffer jacket in a washing machine using the 'Gentle' or 'Delicate' mode with liquid detergent, ensuring all zippers and buttons are closed. To maintain its fluffiness, avoid wringing or twisting it, and throw 2 to 3 tennis balls or dryer balls into the dryer so the filling does not clump together.
Never dry woolen sweaters by hanging them on hangers, as this will ruin their shape. Instead, gently remove excess water and spread the sweater flat on a clean towel to dry.
Always hand wash pashmina shawls and stoles in cold water using baby shampoo or a pashmina-special liquid cleaner, never using a washing machine. Remove excess water by placing it inside a dry towel and rolling it gently, and always dry it in the shade rather than direct sunlight to preserve its color and shine.
