Review: Cost effective but things to consider - I’ve just used the 100ml pouch on my 8 year old Rab jacket which was looking pretty grubby after a heck of a lot of use. The instructions are pretty clear and easy to follow and the product easy to use. After tumble drying the jacket with some tennis balls to help fluff up the down you do need to manually search for clumps of down and try and tease them apart through the fabric which is a bit of a pain. The jacket has come up clean and smelling fresh albeit I have noticed the odd cold spot when wearing the jacket where clearly the down hasn’t thoroughly spread back out so be aware that may happen. I’ve also noticed the Rab logo on the chest has cracked slightly but it’s not that bad. Rab will launder their jackets but the price plus postage was £33 which I thought too much to spend on an 8 year old jacket so this is a more cost effective option. Maybe Rab declump the down better if they do it but if they don’t then this product is a far better solution.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you have to use a tumble dryer? For drying the coat?**
A: Yes, Drying down is a difficult process, i would put the garment in a tumble dryer with "Dryer Balls"  these are essential to break up the clumps of down inside your jacket.
Thanks

**Q: Where do you add the cap fulls? I’m the detergent draw where fabric softer would go or in the actual drum?**
A: Hi there,

I personally add the product to the drum as there is a residue of detergent in the draw.  But if the draw is clean then you can put it in there.

Ian

**Q: Is the 1ltr a bottle or refill bag?**
A: It looks like a bag but the 1 litre I ordered was a bottle. Perhaps different sources?

**Q: Does this take the "wet dog" smell out of new down jackets?**
A: No, but the down should only smell weird while it is wet or damp.  Cool tumble the jacket afterwards until properly dry and fluffy and it won’t smell.
