Care Instructions

Proper and diligent care is paramount to preserving the Moncler Maya jacket's premium quality, thermal performance, and aesthetic longevity. Always refer to the specific care label located inside your jacket for the most accurate and up-to-date instructions, as these can vary slightly.

##### General Care Recommendations:

1. Cleaning:

• Professional Dry Cleaning: This is often the safest and most recommended method for down-filled items with delicate nylon exteriors. Seek a reputable cleaner experienced with luxury outerwear.
• Spot Cleaning: For minor, localized stains, gently blot the affected area with a clean, damp cloth and a very mild soap solution (e.g., pH-neutral detergent). Work carefully to avoid saturating the down. Rinse gently with a clean, damp cloth.

1. Machine Washing (Use with Caution): If the care label explicitly permits machine washing, use a large capacity, front-loading machine.

• Settings: Select a delicate or gentle cycle with cold water.
• Detergent: Use a specialized down-specific detergent, never standard laundry detergent, which can strip natural oils from down.
• Preparation: Zip all zippers, close all snaps, and remove the hood (if detachable and care label permits separate washing). Turn the jacket inside out.
• Rinsing: Run extra rinse cycles to ensure all soap residue is removed.

1. Drying:

• Tumble Dry Low with Dryer Balls: This is critical for restoring the down's loft. Place 2-3 clean tennis balls or specialized dryer balls in the dryer with the jacket. Tumble dry on the lowest heat setting for several hours, checking frequently. The balls will help break up down clumps and fluff the insulation.
• Complete Drying: Ensure the jacket is *absolutely, completely dry* before storing. Any residual moisture can lead to mildew or damage the down. This process can take many hours.
• Air Drying (Supplemental): After tumble drying, or if machine drying is not an option, lay the jacket flat in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat or sunlight. Periodically fluff and turn the jacket to redistribute the down evenly.

1. Storage:

• Store your jacket in a cool, dry place.
• Ideally, hang it on a wide, padded hanger to help maintain its shape and prevent stress on the shoulders.
• Avoid compressing the jacket in vacuum-sealed bags or tight spaces for extended periods, as this can damage the down clusters and reduce its insulating capabilities.

1. Avoid: Do not use bleach, fabric softeners, or harsh stain removers. Do not iron. Do not wring or twist the jacket forcefully.
