Review: Ich hab das Prosukt benutzt um einen Daunenquilt (Schlafsack bei dem der Rücken offen ist) vor dem ersten Gebrauch zu waschen. Ich hätte nicht erwartet dass die Daunen danach noch mehr Loft (also Volumen) bekommen. Dieses Waschmittel hat meinen Quilt deutlich aufgewertet!

Great product, just follow the instructions. You need to remove your normal laundry detergent before using this, so check to see how to remove the detergent drawer on your washing machine. On my LG, there is an orange tab that I can press down to pull the drawer out and then can remove the dispenser for the detergent, empty it and refill it with this down cleaner. It's not the most convenient thing, but its effective.
