How to properly wash a draped coat?

If you have a draped coat without inserts, it can be washed. For this:

  1. Collect the water. Its temperature should not be above 30 degrees. Dissolve the powder.

  2. Soak the coat for 10 minutes. Take a soft brush and wipe it with dirty places.
  3. Remember a little coat with your hands and drain the water.
  4. Rinse should be long and neat until the water is clean.
  5. Hang it on your shoulders and carefully straighten it.
  6. Dry your coat only in the air.

Drape coats with inserts do not erase, but wipe. To do this you will need a sponge and soap solution.

Attention! To prepare the solution, take a little powder for washing delicate things and dissolve it in cold water. Be careful, it should not be too concentrated.

Arm yourself with a sponge and apply the solution to the dirty areas of your coat. Wait a bit and wipe them with a brush that must be soft.

After this, be sure to wipe the stains again to remove any remaining powder. Use a piece of cloth soaked in cold water to do this.

Wash cashmere coat

Coats of cashmere require special treatment. If there is one speck on it, do not erase the entire product. It is enough to moisten a soft sponge in water and remove it. If the coat requires washing, follow our advice:

  1. Type the water in the tub (30 degrees). Dissolve the powder in it.
  2. Put your coat in soapy water and remember with your hands. Pay attention to the most polluted places, but very carefully.
  3. Lower the water and rinse the coat with cold water.
  4. Never dry the cashmere coat on the trembler. It easily loses its shape, so it can only be dried in a horizontal position.

We wash the polyester coat

Polyester is one of the most popular materials, especially among young people. If you purchased a coat from it, before you erase it is necessary to study the label. The thing is that polyester is of different density and, accordingly, the requirements for the temperature regime are different for it.

You can wash a polyester coat as well as a drape coat. The only requirement is to fasten it, as the buttons or zippers may break. And do not hold it for too long in the water, otherwise they will rust.

As you can see, it is not at all difficult to wash the coat yourself. Do it carefully, and follow the manufacturer's recommendations. So it will always be clean and tidy.
