5. Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What should I do if my down quilt smells bad?

Q: Can it be stored using vacuum compression?
A: Short-term compression (<1 month) has little effect. Long-term compression will permanently reduce the fluffiness. It is recommended to use a breathable storage bag.
From the above data analysis, it can be seen that scientific drying of down quilts requires mastering the three principles of "avoiding high temperatures, controlling the time, and handling them gently". Proper maintenance will not only extend the service life, but also maintain optimal warmth.
