How to wash/clean my reversible jacket?

I bought a hooded jacket from San francisco on July 4th due to the frightful cold! It was an emergency. It is pretty, pink thick one which has a water-repellant (resistant? waterproof?) exterior and a fleece reversible side inside. It came for a descent price but really great for a cold night. Right now, it is not soiled. But I was just wondering how to wash it because I noticed that there are no washing instructions on it. Or would that go for dry cleaning?How to wash/clean my reversible jacket?
I have a few jackets that are somewhat similar to what you have described , and I wash them at home . What I do is add a mild detergent in the machine , set it on gentle cycle and cold water , once it starts to fill with water and has the detergent concentrated I put my jacket in the machine , and let it wash for I think the gentle cycle on my washer washes for 6 minutes on gentle with a short pause , well when it is time for the rinse I add fabric softener , but I pour a very small amount of my desired softener into a cup and add water to it so that when the machine fills u with water it is ready to pour in , and then I know that the fabric softener had been diluted and will not stain my jacket this way .





When it is ready to be dryed I put it into the dryer on low heat for 15 minutes to get some of the main wetness gone , and after that I let it finish drying on the air dry setting .








In some of my jackets and or hoodies I have noticed that the care tag is smetimes located in a pocket , one jacket I have has the care tag inside the inner pocket under a little piece of fabric . So search your Jacket all over to make sure if there is a care tag or not Just to be in the safe side , but I even wash my dry clean only jackets doing this , and I have had no problems what so ever with them.





Good Luck !!How to wash/clean my reversible jacket?
Check all the inside seams for washing instructions...otherwise try a cold gentle cycle and hang to air dry.
