Sintepon is a universal insulation. This is a synthetic material made of non-woven fabric, which perfectly retains heat and also has good operational qualities. It keeps its shape, can restore it even after deformation, and is easy to care for. Ease of care doesn’t mean you don’t need to know how to wash a synthetic leather jacket. Even in this matter there are some nuances.

There are two types of synthepon:

  • glued. In this case, special adhesives are used to give things the required shape. Such clothes look beautiful and are not expensive, but they cannot be washed, otherwise the insulation will peel off and stick. You can clean clothes made of glued sintepon only with a dry method, or by wiping the top layer of the fabric with a wet cloth.
  • heat sealed. Bonding of insulation is carried out with the help of heat treatment. Such products are a little more expensive, but you can wash them without any problems. We will now talk about how to wash a sintepon jacket made of such insulation.

How to wash a synthetic fiber jacket

How to wash?

First of all, you should determine what fabric your outerwear is made of.

If it is a membrane , natural fur , one of the types of wool or genuine leather, then washing synthetic fiber in a washing machine is usually prohibited, as these conditions are very aggressive for such fabrics. They may sit, stretch or drool. How exactly they can be washed, see the tag attached to the product.

In other cases, it is better and more convenient to wash jackets on sintepon in a washing machine. This is explained by the fact that this insulation cannot be soaked for a long time and must be thoroughly rinsed, which is not always possible by hand. If there are stains on the fabric, wash them using household soap or a special stain remover, and then put the garment in the washing machine. The same principles apply to washing holofiber, which you can read about in this article .

So, the process of machine washing looks like this:

  1. Fasten all buttons, zippers, unfasten the fur collar . Place the jacket in a laundry bag (this will protect the product from deformation).
  2. The mode is “delicate” or “synthetics”. The water temperature is 30-40 degrees. Turn off spin, drying. Turn on the “extra rinse” function so that the insulation is thoroughly rinsed and there are no streaks left on the jacket.
  3. Detergent – any liquid. It is better not to use ordinary powder, it is worse to rinse and is not suitable for all fabrics. It is also forbidden to wash the jacket on synthetic fibers with the use of bleaches and other aggressive agents.

After washing, take out the jacket, carefully wring it out with your hands. You can additionally wrap the clothes with a terry towel, which will absorb excess moisture from the synthetic foam.

Hang on a hanger to dry. Sintepon dries quickly, so do not speed up the process with additional heating or hanging in direct sunlight, as this can damage the product or cause the fabric to fade.

If necessary, things made of sintepon can be ironed, but only if the fabric from which they are sewn allows it. It is better to do this through gauze or a thin cotton cloth.

Hand washing is slightly different:

  1. The water temperature should be up to 50 degrees. Take a bath, dilute the detergent. Do not use bleach.
  2. Immerse the jacket in water and wring it slightly, but not too much, so as not to lose the sintepon after washing. If there are stains on the fabric, wash them with a soft sponge and soap. It is impossible to soak, as it will work in this case to wash a synthetic nylon jacket, but the insulation itself will suffer.
  3. Drain the water, fill it with clean water. Rinse the clothes, repeat the procedure several times. It is important to rinse well so that all the soapy water comes out of the heater.
  4. Gently wring out, for example, squeezing water from top to bottom from the clothes with the palms of your hands. Hang on a hanger above the bathtub or bowl to drain the remaining water.
  5. Spread out a terry towel, lay the jacket on top to dry, straightened. After that, you can hang it to dry vertically.

What to do if the synthepon went astray?

If the sintepon got lost after washing, then you can break it in several ways:

  • You can wash the jacket again in the washing machine by adding a few tennis balls.
  • Hang the clothes and beat them out with a carpet beater or bamboo stick.
  • While it is wet, the sintepon can be straightened with a vacuum cleaner, walking along the thing from the place of accumulation to the required areas.
  • If nothing works, then all that remains is to tear apart the lining, get to the insulation and straighten it manually, replacing it if necessary.
  • Buy a new jacket made of synthetic material.

The last advice is, of course, radical. But sometimes it is important to accept mistakes and defeats and please yourself with new purchases.
