Review on ๐Ÿงผ Grangers Down Care Kit: Ultimate Protection for Your Down Gear - Down Wash + Repel, 3 Dryer Balls, 10oz by Miriam Mendez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Washes very well, not sure about water repellency

I had a brand new goose down parka filled with unwashed down. The fabric of the jacket was covered in washable markers and erasable pencil markers and came out very clean. I'm pretty skeptical about the water repellency. My parka is made from 1.1 ounce calendered polyurethane fabric and is virtually water repellent after a wash. Maybe it's even gotten a little worse. The down itself could be significantly more water repellent, but I can't judge or verify that. I used a bath and a little more than the recommended amount of soap and fairly warm but not hot water. The color of the water was such that the black and red mark was clearly washed off, and the smell was such that when I washed a brand new parka (you won't believe how bad goose down smell). until you hand wash it). My parka was completely dry in about 6 hours, on high about 3 hours and on medium for the rest. Had it lost the loft in the process I wouldn't have noticed the difference.
