How do I wash my DÄCKE?

It is best to wash your outdoor blanket by hand in a bathtub. If your DÄCKE was heavily soiled, it's okay if you make an exception and wash it in the washing machine. Just make sure that it doesn't end up in a top loader and that you choose the gentle program without spinning (0-30 degrees). After that, it is sufficient if you only select Rinse & Spin once. 
watch out! Please avoid Fabric softener - use a special detergent for down instead (⅓ is enough). 

How do I dry my DÄCKE?

To get the most out of your outdoor blanket, you're doing it the greatest favor by simply letting it dry outside.
