Keeping Your Milwaukee Heated Jacket Warm and Cozy
So, you've got yourself a Milwaukee heated jacket. Nice choice, buddy! You're basically a walking, talking, self-heating human burrito. But, like any good burrito, it needs a little TLC every now and then. That's right, we're talking about cleaning your fancy, heated jacket. Don't worry, it's not as complicated as rocket science (or even building a sandwich).
How To Clean Milwaukee Heated Jacket |
The Great Jacket Wash-Off
Let's get down to business. How do you actually clean this thing without turning it into a puddle of electronic sadness? Well, first off, always check the care label. It’s like the jacket’s personal diary - it knows everything. But if you’re too lazy for that (we won’t judge), here’s the general idea:
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.
- Strip it down: Remove the battery, any cords, and anything else that doesn’t belong in a washing machine. We don’t want any surprises like a soggy battery.
- Gentle cycle: Pop that jacket into the washing machine on a gentle cycle. Warm water is usually fine, but again, check the label.
- Mild detergent: Use a mild detergent. Your jacket is not a battlefield, it doesn't need industrial-strength cleaning agents.
- Air dry it: Avoid the dryer like the plague. Hang your jacket up to air dry. The heat from the dryer could potentially damage those delicate heating elements.
Dealing with Stains: A Spot of Trouble
Okay, so you spilled your coffee on your jacket. Classic. Don’t panic. Most stains can be tackled with a pre-treatment stain remover. Just remember to test it in a small, inconspicuous area first. You don't want to end up with a giant, bleached-out spot.

The Big Battery Question
What about the battery? Well, that's a good question. Most batteries are removable, but it's always best to double-check. While some people swear by tossing the battery in with the jacket, others prefer to treat it like a delicate flower. We recommend playing it safe and keeping the battery out of the washing machine.
