Do you have to use a tumble dryer? For drying the coat?
Where do you add the cap fulls? I’m the detergent draw where fabric softer would go or in the actual drum?
Is the 1ltr a bottle or refill bag?
Does this take the "wet dog" smell out of new down jackets?

Good wash but awkward to dry
The product worked really well leaving my jacket nice and clean, I can't say much about proofing but it's fine in spots of rain. Drying the down jacket after was a pain in the neck! If there are big sections of down it's not too bad, but the lightweight thin tubes of down don't spread back out easily even with tennis balls in the dryer. The trick is to dry it in a machine, then air dry for a day or two, then do the machine dryer again and pat clumps vigorously which blows to down back along the tubes.

Ease of use, clear instructions given for hand or machine washing.
Value for money. Waterproofing. Washability…ease of use, clear instructions given.

GOOD PRODUCT BUT NO SCENT
This is a very good product, its easy to use. The only downside is that there is no or very little scent, I would have expected it to give the down jacket a nice smell but nothing. Had to resort to diluting conditioner in a water spray bottle instead, which works for all clothes

Expensive, mediocre performance
Bought this product to wash a feather and down jacket in need of refreshing and to remove greasy spots off the front and sleeves. Easy enough to use. Non-descript not particularly attractive scent. Pre treated oily spots meticulously but with limited effect. Expensive, limited effectiveness.
