Hold Your Horses (and Battery Packs)!
Before you toss your jacket in the washing machine with reckless abandon, there's a crucial step: evict the battery pack. Think of it like this: you wouldn't throw your phone in the washer with it still plugged in, would you? No siree! Same goes for the battery pack. Give it a comfy spot on the shelf while its jacket-mate gets squeaky clean.
Turning Up the Clean, Not the Heat: Wash Cycle Do's and Don'ts
QuickTip: Stop and think when you learn something new.
- Gentle is the Name of the Game: Just like your grandma's favorite sweater, your Milwaukee heated jacket deserves a gentle cycle with warm water. High heat and harsh cycles are the enemies of heating elements, so treat your jacket with kindness.
- Soap Opera, Not a Disaster: Use a mild detergent and go easy on the amount. Too much soap can leave a residue and make you itchier than a wool sweater in a heatwave.
- Zip It Up, Tighten Up! Close all the zippers and fasten any straps before throwing your jacket in the washer. Loose zippers can snag on other clothes and cause unwanted tears (think of it as a fashion faux pas).
- Friends Don't Let Friends Shrink: Avoid hot water and high heat drying at all costs! These can cause your jacket to shrink faster than you can say "brrr."
Tumble or No Tumble? That is the Question
Technically, Milwaukee says your jacket can handle a low heat tumble dry. But let's be honest, who wants to risk it? Air drying is always the safest bet. Hang your jacket up on a sturdy hanger and let it air out naturally. Just be sure to avoid direct sunlight, which can fade the color.
Bonus Tip: If you're feeling fancy, you can toss a tennis ball in the dryer with your jacket (on air dry, of course) to help fluff it up.

How to Wash the Battery Pack?
Easy there, tiger! The battery pack itself shouldn't go anywhere near the washing machine. Just wipe it down with a damp cloth if it needs a little cleaning.

How Often Should I Wash My Heated Jacket?
QuickTip: Look for repeated words — they signal importance.
Just like any other jacket, wash it when it starts to look or smell a little worse for wear. But generally, avoid washing it too frequently, as it can wear down the materials.
Can I Use Fabric Softener?
Skip the fabric softener. It can clog up the heating elements and make your jacket less effective at keeping you warm.
Tip: Slow down at important lists or bullet points.
What if My Jacket Gets Stained?
For tougher stains, try spot cleaning with a mild detergent before washing the entire jacket.
Help! My Jacket Doesn't Heat Up After Washing!
Don't panic! Make sure the battery is fully charged and securely connected. If that doesn't work, consult the user manual or contact Milwaukee for further assistance.
There you have it, folks! With these tips and a little TLC, your Milwaukee heated jacket will keep you warm and toasty for years to come. Now get out there and conquer your workday, sweat-free (or at least laundry-free)!
