Lidl by Lidl Parka Jacket Care Guide

Machine Washing

  • Close zippers and secure Velcro tabs before laundering to prevent snags.
  • Turn the jacket inside out to protect the outer finish.
  • Machine wash on a gentle/delicate cycle using cold water.
  • Use a mild, low-suds detergent (non-bleach, non-enzymatic).
  • Avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade water-repellent coatings.

Hand Washing

  1. Fill a basin with cold or lukewarm water.
  2. Add a small amount of gentle detergent.
  3. Gently agitate the water—no harsh scrubbing.
  4. Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear.

Drying

  • Drip dry or hang the jacket in a shaded, ventilated area—avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.
  • If using a tumble dryer, set it to low/no heat and include a couple of clean tennis balls to nip felts back into shape.

Ironing & Steam

  • Iron only if absolutely needed—set the iron to low heat, and place a clean cloth between the iron and jacket.
  • Alternatively, use a handheld steamer from a safe distance to gently refresh the fabric.

Water-Repellent Maintenance

  • To restore water repellency, apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR (durable water repellent) treatment following the product's label.
  • Air-dry thoroughly after treatment and, if indicated, apply a low-heat tumble dry to activate the finish.

Storage

  • Store the jacket clean and dry in a cool, well-ventilated space.
  • Avoid compressing it in tight spaces for extended periods—hang it on a wide padded hanger to maintain shape.

What to Avoid

  • No bleach, chlorine additives, or strong stain removers.
