How to wash a jacket in the machine: general rules
First of all, you need to find a tag on the jacket from the manufacturer. It indicates whether the thing can be washed in a machine and at what temperature it is best to do it. If the label has a sign of a basin with a hand, then washing in a machine is forbidden. Sometimes the manufacturer allows machine washing but forbids spinning.
Before washing, you should check all pockets. Unbutton all items that can be unbuttoned – hoods, furs, decorations. Fasten all zippers and buttons so they do not damage the machine. Turn the garment inside out – this will eliminate the risk of streaks on the face of the garment.
Place the garment in the machine. It is best not to put anything but a jacket in the drum, even if it is lightweight. Choose the water temperature recommended on the label. Some machines have a special mode for washing your jacket. Do not use laundry detergent, as it may leave streaks on the jacket. Use a liquid laundry detergent instead.
