Restores loft, cleans efficiently and keeps down gear performing as intended—a complete maintenance kit for technical insulation with solid eco credentials.
Grangers says:
This kit was inspired by the desire to offer a complete down care solution: combining Wash + Repel Down 2 in 1 with three dryer balls to clean and protect all down articles.
We understand that washing your down gear can be intimidating. When you’ve invested your money in a lovely jacket that keeps you warm and dry, yet in one wash you could reduce it to a clumpy, disfigured mess. However, taking care of your down is important. If you don’t keep it clean and protected, then it won’t perform as well and this is why we invented our Down Care Kit, to take away that fear.
This kit includes:
Wash + Repel Down 2 in 1, our unique 2 in 1 product which cleans and proofs in one wash cycle, meaning less impact on the environment and less time washing so you can get back outside sooner. This 2 in 1 formulation takes care of your down and synthetic down with powerful cleaning and superior proofing.
3 dryer balls, which are reusable (for up to 1000 washes) and perfect for preventing clumping and restoring loft to down articles. Previously, people have used tennis balls but these can actually leak colour onto the garment and crush the down. We recommend these dryer balls as they gently restore loft, meaning your down will be back to maximum performance.
Please note that packaging may vary from image shown.
Our Verdict
The idea of washing down can be a little scary to some, but this kit takes the worry out of the process. The Down Care Kit combines a single Wash + Repel Down 2-in-1 formula with three reusable wool dryer balls to simplify care for jackets and sleeping bags. It cleans thoroughly, refreshes water repellency and helps down regain loft. The dryer balls reduce clumping and speed up drying, producing an even, consistent finish. Regularly washing and reproofing technical clothing maintains breathability, prolongs fabric life, and reduces waste by keeping gear performing as intended for longer. The formula is water-based, PFC-free and bluesign approved, making it a dependable choice for those who value both performance and sustainability. It demands patience during drying, but the results justify the effort.
