Step 2 Tell us about your item

These details let us confirm the right process before you arrive. Everything is checked again with you at drop-off.

Please choose the type of item you are booking in.

Please tell us the main problem or treatment required.

A preference, not a confirmed appointment — we confirm the time with you before you visit.

Please choose a preferred drop-off date.

Helpful but not required — we go through the item with you at check-in and record its condition together.

After you book, bring your item to The Gear Spa with your order number. We check it in with you, record its condition, and treatment begins once it has been assessed and accepted.

We work with reasonable care and skill, but cleaning cannot guarantee that every stain or odour will be removed, and existing wear can become more visible. We record your item's condition with you at check-in and explain any specific risks before we begin.

What’s included

A dry, professional sanitising and deodorising service for insulated jackets, with no liquid washing at any stage.

  • A sanitising process that targets odour-causing bacteria, fungi and mould within the fabric and fill
  • Deodorising that breaks down smoke, sweat, damp, pet and cooking odours at their source
  • Professional re-lofting of down to help restore fill power, where the fill is undamaged
  • Your jacket handed back hygienically refreshed and ready to wear, priced at £14.99

Suitable for

  • Down and synthetic insulated jackets
  • Insulated jackets carrying smoke, sweat, damp or pet odours
  • Gear that needs freshening between full washes
  • Jackets unsuited to conventional liquid washing
  • Down jackets that would also benefit from professional re-lofting

Not suitable for

  • Jackets needing dirt or staining lifted by a full liquid wash (choose Professional Wash & Dry)
  • Waterproof shells needing water repellency restored (choose Wash & Reproof)
  • Items with irreparable damage such as torn shells or failed seams
  • Heavily soiled or contaminated items we are unable to accept

The specialist process

Your insulated jacket is treated with a dry sanitising process that works at a microscopic level to target odour-causing bacteria, fungi and mould, without saturating the fabric or fill. Because no liquid washing is involved, delicate shells, trims and insulation that are unsuited to a conventional wash can be refreshed safely.

The deodorising stage breaks down smoke, sweat, damp, pet and cooking odours at their source rather than masking them. Where the down is undamaged, it is professionally re-lofted to help restore fill power, so the jacket is handed back hygienically refreshed and performance ready.

Does this wash my jacket? p>No. This is a dry sanitising and deodorising treatment with no liquid washing. If your jacket needs dirt or staining lifted, choose Professional Wash & Dry instead./p>

Is it safe for down insulation? p>Yes. The process does not saturate the fill, and undamaged down is professionally re-lofted to help restore fill power./p>

Will strong odours be removed? p>The treatment targets smoke, sweat, damp, pet and cooking odours at their source. We assess each jacket individually and treat it on its condition rather than promising a fixed result./p>
