How to Clean Canada Goose Jackets
The secret on how to clean Canada Goose jackets isn’t one that will be surprising to anyone who owns one of these expensive and oh-so-comfortable coats. Yep, if you want your Canada Goose cleaned, you’re going to want to bring it to the professionals. And there’s good reason for that.
Why Do Canada Goose Coats Need To Be Dry Cleaned?
A Canada Goose coat is designed to maintain its high quality for many years. To make sure that happens, Canada Goose provides a warranty with each of their coats that protects against any defects in materials or workmanship for the lifetime of the garment. If you clean your Canada Goose coat at home, however, the warranty is voided and you’ll have no recourse if a defect later appears.
On their website, Canada Goose says that “it is important that you take it to a reputable dry cleaner and that you do not machine wash it.” Not only will washing your Canada Goose coat void the warranty, it will also put your coat at risk of damage—neither of which are things that you want to risk with such a large investment. Canada Goose also recommends that you remove the fur ruff prior to dropping off the garment with a dry cleaner. (If you’d like, we’ll clean the fur separately.)
Note that this only applies to Canada Goose’s down-filled parkas. Lightweights and shells can be machine washed in cold water using a bleach-free detergent and then hung to dry. And if you need to spot clean your parka, you can do so with a mild bleach-free detergent, a clean cloth, and water.
How to Store Canada Goose Jacket
As for how to store your jacket, you have a couple of options. As with all luxury items, your best option is almost always going to be leaving the item with a luxury storage provider during the off-season months. This ensures that your Canada Goose coat is well protected from the elements, including any moisture build up that could harm the jacket or its fur.
If you decide to store your Canada Goose coat at your home, you’ll want to take care to provide it with the best environment possible. This includes sealing it in a breathable garment bag and then hanging it in a dark and moisture-free room. Do not fold or otherwise compress your Canada Goose jacket for storage, since these actions can result in damage.
