When an accident with feces occurs, it can be difficult to know the best way to clean it up. When the mess involves a down jacket, it is even more daunting. Luckily, there are several ways to effectively remove feces stains without damaging your down jacket.
Removing Feces Stains From Your Down Jacket
Start by scraping away any dry or semi-dry feces. Wear gloves to handle mess as this will protect your skin from contamination. Once the feces is scraped away, put the item into a bucket or other container large enough for the jacket. Fill the bucket with cold water, and add a few drops of laundry detergent or an equivalent amount of stain remover.
Soak the jacket in the bucket for at least 15 minutes. After the soaking period is complete, rinse jacket in cold water. Do not rub the jacket as this could work the stain further into the fabric. After rinsing, use a paper towel to absorb as much water as you can. Hang the jacket up to dry, preferably in shade.
For more stubborn stains, you may need to apply a spot cleaner. Use a product specifically designed for stain removal on delicate fabrics such as down. Read the instructions carefully before use to ensure that the product is safe for your jacket.
Finally, once the jacket is thoroughly dry, take the time to fluff jacket up. This can help the jacket regain its original shape and texture.
