How to Clean All Types of Coats Correctly

As winter is here, it is time to change our flip-flops into coats to protect ourselves from this chilly weather. Coats come in handy when you want to feel warm, and at the same time, it makes you feel fashionable. Well, as we all know good things come with some side effects: coats are difficult to clean. How we should clean the coats by different methods depends on the material, like washing them at home in the washing machine or if they need to be dry cleaned, etc. Some coats may need water and detergent to clean, while some only need a brush. So, first, let’s know what type of coats may be there!

Types of Coats that You May Have!

  • Woolen coats
  • Synthetic coats
  • Vinyl coats
  • Leather coats
  • Fleece coats
  • Trench coats

NOTE: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THE TYPE OF MATERIAL OF YOUR COATS BEFORE YOU CLEAN THEM, AS WRONG WASHING METHODS CAN DESTROY THE FIBRE OF THE COATS. DRYING UP YOUR COATS PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN LASTING YOUR FABRIC FOR A LONGER PERIOD. IT IS ALSO ADVISABLE TO WASH YOUR COATS NOT MORE THAN 6-7 TIMES DURING THE SEASON.

How to Clean The Coats

Woolen Coats

Woolen coat

Woolen coats are generally made of fiber derived from animal furs. There are a few tips that you must follow to clean your woolen coats. Turn your coat inside out to prevent any damage. Use a mild liquid detergent and wash it with cold water. Never clean your wool with hot water, as it can shrink and damage the fiber. You can also brush your woolen coats to remove any dirt or dust.

Synthetic Coats

Synthetic coat

Synthetic coats are very durable and made for our everyday use. If you get stains on your synthetic coat, go through a spot treatment first. Close all the zips and hooks of your coat, put some vinegar on the spots, and scrub it using a brush. Later wash it gently using a mild detergent or soap, and here you have your new coat back!

Vinyl Coats

Vinyl coats will help you get into a high-shine club. They are the most trendy fashion staple for both genders. The best way to wash vinyl coats is by hand washing them. Add two capfuls of mild detergent to a bucket full of cold water. Turn the coat inside out and wash them gently. And you are ready to shine with your vinyl coat again.

Leather Coats

Leather coat

Well, we all have that one black leather coat which makes us the star of the show but cleaning them can be a little tricky. First, you have to make a dilute solution of gentle detergent and cold water. After making a soapy mixture, clean the coat using a soft sponge that will remove all the extra dirt and dust from the coat. You must be more careful around the collars and cuffs and clean them gently. Do not rub or soak the jacket, as it can damage it. After cleaning the jacket, use a dry cloth to wipe any excess water. If you find your coat looking a little dull, use a small amount of leather conditioner or upholstery wax with a soft cloth to buff out the leather.

Fleece Coats

Fleece coat

A fleece coat is light weighted and mainly used during mild winters. To clean your fleece coat, turn them inside out and use mild detergent and cold water to clean them. Try to go for a spot treatment and avoid using bleach or fabric softener. After it is air dried completely, brush it off gently- this will help your fabric to last long without damaging it.

Trench Coats

Trench coat

Trench coats have been in fashion since earlier times. The soldiers used to wear them, and are still worn in some countries to maintain a chic look. As trench coats are usually made from machine-washable fibers, you can wash them in your washing machine in gentle mode. Ensure to remove the lining, wash separately from the shell and then dry it properly. Wash your trench coats twice during the season.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should we clean our coats?
Ans: We need to clean our coats after 6-7 wearing as cleaning them will make the fabric last longer without dirt and dust.

Can we wash our coats in the washing machine?
Ans: Unless the laundry care label mentions not to, cleaning your coats in the washing machine is fine; opt for dry cleaning or hand washing. If you are washing your coats in a washing machine, flip your coats inside out and put them in a mesh laundry bag: this will protect the zips or buttons.

What type of detergent should we use to wash coats?
Ans: Powder detergents can be harmful to wools, so you can use mild liquid detergents, instead of using powder detergents.

Is brushing your coats necessary?
Ans: Yes, brushing the coats the right way will ensure that the coats are free from dirt and dust. It looks chic and clean when you wear them.
