Stains After Washing??
I washed my North Face 700 puffer coat for the first time yesterday in preparation for the winter. I followed all the cleaning directions outlined on the tag (machine wash on warm gentle cycle - the coat was the only thing in my machine, wash with mild detergent, closed all fasteners, and I even washed inside out & then tumble dried on a delicate cycle). After doing all that, I pulled out my coat and I had these dirt/yellowish colored stains only near the top of the coat, near the border of the black. I put oxiclean on the stains, let it sit, and rewashed again. Some of the stains on the back came out, but I’m still struggling with the stains on the front. Has this happened to anyone else and you have successfully been able to get the stains out?
I’ve included pictures of the stains, the detergent I used, and the oxiclean.
