As we transition away from chilly winter days and into the warmer months, you may be preparing to store your BEDI coat until the temperature drops again. Thoughtful care ensures your coat remains in top condition, ready to keep you warm for years to come. Here’s a simple guide to cleaning and storing your coat, plus a reminder of our sustainable Second Life Program, designed to keep garments in circulation and out of landfills.
Caring for Your BEDI Studios Coat
One of the many benefits of a BEDI coat is its easy maintenance. Designed with both functionality and sustainability in mind, all of our outerwear is machine washable, making cleaning easy. Follow these steps to keep yours looking and feeling fresh:
-
Prepare Your Coat: Turn the coat inside out and zip all zippers to prevent snags and ensure an even wash.
-
Wash: Use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent to preserve the fabric. Do not use bleach.
-
Dry: Hang your coat in a well-ventilated space to air dry to completion. Once dry, you may place it in the dryer on low heat for up to five minutes to remove any humidity and fluff up the insulation.
The Right Way to Store Your Coat
Mindful storage is key to maintaining your coat’s longevity and structure:
- Ensure It's Fully Dry: Don't store your coat until it is completely dry. Storing a damp coat can lead to a musty smell.
-
Hang It Well: Using a sturdy wooden hanger will help support the coat’s form. Storing it in a cool, dry, and dark place will prevent fabric damage and fading.
-
Fold If Needed: If hanging isn’t an option, gently fold your coat and place it in a breathable garment bag for protection.
-
Keep It Fresh: As an optional addition, a sachet of dried lavender added to the storage bag helps keep your coat smelling fresh, with no synthetic scents necessary.
