CLOTHING 
Always read the care label. When it comes to chosing a chemical to clean the garment - follow this advice below. It is mostly applicable to garments that have some level of water repellancy & breathability that you want to maintain.

Typical laundry detergents contain fabric softeners, fragrance and color brighteners which are water-attractive residues—not something you want on the surface of your outer shell (Detergent will not remove DWR but the residue will 'cover it' so it will not work as well). Most washing machines will rinse the product sufficiently and not leave this residue. You will have to work a bit harder if hand wahsing. 

So ideally use a dedicated product from Granger's range (Most outdoor retailers will stock a suitable product). A mild powered detergent, such as  “Dreft”  or soap flakes is also acceptable if thoroughly rinsed afterwards although it may not be able to get out stubborn stains.

Do not use a liquid detergent. It leaves a residue, which clogs the pores of Gore-Tex and other laminate waterproofs and never use hot or cold water on Gore-Tex. Always use a warm wash and a warm rinse. It is extremely important to rinse the garment well for reasons already listed. We recommend two rinse cycles or wash it once with detergent and again without.

Dry in dryer on LOW heat, at the end of the drying cycle, you may increase the heat to WARM and dry for an additional 15 minutes. This will remove some of the wrinkles from the fabric. Remove at once; do not allow the garment to remain in the dryer (it may cause burns on the fabric if it sits on the hot metal).

You may use a spot cleaner to remove stubborn spots before washing. Granger’s G_Wash Spray Cleaner Plus works well. If necessary, grease can be spot cleaned at the dry cleaners and then sprayed with any non-silicone spray - but do NOT dry clean the whole garment.

SYNTHETIC SLEEPING BAGS
Follow label or, for best results, especially if Primoloft filled, treat like down sleeping bags below.

How should down filled clothing and sleeping bags to cleaned? 

Only wash your down filled product if you have to as it is quite a laborious process. For spot cleaning, Granger’s offers G-Wash Spray Cleaner Plus which may be sufficient. For best results there are professional down cleaning services out there (not dry cleaning though please!) and to be fair you can follow the washing instructions on the label. However there is only so much info you can get on the label and professionals cost money so we put together the following extra information which will help you.

A down Sleeping bag will need to be washed in a bath as it will be too big for domestic front loaders. Jacket would be ok. Use Granger’s Down Wash or soap flakes, do not use typical liquid laundry detergent. We recommend using warm water for wash and rinse. It is extremely important to rinse the down very well. We recommend two rinse cycles.  Granger’s cleaners include an odor elimination component that will help keep your bag ‘fresh.’

Be careful to make sure you have hold of the entire garment when you remove it from the bath water or washing machine because it will be very heavy (The weight could tear the internal baffles that segregate the sections of down).

DRYING
Dry in dryer on low heat. Include two clean tennis balls (or similar objects such as “sock balls”) in with the garment to help break up the clumps that will form. It is extremely important to make sure that your down product is dry to the fullest in order for it to regain its loft. (A down jacket may take 2-3 hours and a down sleeping bag may take 4-6 hours to dry once removed from the dryer). Remove from dryer as soon as the drum has stopped spinning as the heat of the drum might melt the face fabric if left in contact.

Do not dry-clean your down and/or Gore-Tex products.

MORE DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING DOWN SLEEPING BAGS
1) Fill a bath tub with warm water and the correct measurement of specialist down wash available from most outdoor retailers. Ideally.
2) Push the sleeping bag gently under the water until it eventually becomes saturated. Do not lift the bag in any way as this can break the internal baffles that keep the down in place.
3) When the bag is wet throughout, drain the bath or tub, then refill to rinse off any remaining cleaner product.
4) Drain the bath again, but leave the sleeping bag for perhaps 30 minutes to allow most of the water to drain. You can also, gently push down on the bag to squeeze the water out.
5) If you want to make the outer repel water, now is the time to do it. Spray on a suitable down proof product, again, available from most outdoor stores. 
6) Lift the bag out of the bath by holding it in a bundle and transferring it to a front loading tumble dryer in a basket with 2 or 3 clean tennis balls (or similar objects like sock balls)
7) Your bag will need to be dried for a long time but do not exceed 140F. Stop the dryer every 20 – 30 minutes, pull the bag out and give it a good shake. Do not do this when the bag is still heavy with water as again, you may break the internal baffles.
8) You will need to do this for a few hours as the down must be completely dry before you finish. Do not drip dry as the dryer is what helps to revive the lofting ability of the sleeping bag.
