How to Properly Clean and Care for Your Canada Goose Parka

A Canada Goose parka is an investment, and proper cleaning and care can help keep it looking great and performing as intended for years to come.

Best Care Dry Cleaners has been an authorized Canada Goose dry cleaner since 2018. We're proud to have the specialized knowledge, equipment, and experience required to professionally care for these premium garments right here in Winnipeg.

How Best Care Became a Canada Goose Authorized Dry Cleaner

Becoming an authorized cleaner involved much more than simply adding Canada Goose parkas to our list of services.

A representative from Canada Goose's Warranty and Repair team visited Best Care and toured our cleaning facility. Our equipment, processes, and environmentally responsible cleaning methods were reviewed, and we were provided with test garments and materials to clean.

The testing included a variety of fabrics, colours, styles, and trim combinations so that our cleaning results could be evaluated.

After successfully completing the process, Best Care was added to the Canada Goose authorized dry cleaner program in 2018.

Since then, we've professionally cleaned hundreds of Canada Goose jackets, coats, and parkas for customers throughout Winnipeg and Manitoba. https://www.canadagoose.com/ca/en/customer-service/support/dry-cleaner-map.html

How Should You Clean a Canada Goose Parka?

Always start with the care label inside your individual garment.

Canada Goose produces different styles using different fabrics, insulation, trims, and construction methods, so there isn't one cleaning method that's appropriate for every Canada Goose product.

If your garment's care label specifies Dry Clean Only, it should be professionally dry cleaned rather than washed at home.

Before cleaning, let us know about any stains or areas of concern you've noticed. Our experienced team will inspect the garment and determine the appropriate cleaning and stain-removal process based on its care instructions and construction.

Don't Wait Until Your Parka Looks Dirty

A winter coat doesn't have to look dirty to need cleaning.

Throughout a Winnipeg winter, parkas are exposed to perspiration, body oils, makeup, lotions, food, road grime, and everyday environmental soils. These contaminants can accumulate around collars, cuffs, pockets, and other high-contact areas.

Leaving soils in the fabric for extended periods can make stains more difficult to remove and may contribute to premature wear.

Regular professional cleaning helps remove this buildup and keeps your parka looking its best.

Clean Your Canada Goose Before Storing It

One of the most important times to clean your winter parka is before putting it away for the season.

Storing a soiled garment for several months gives stains, body oils, and other residues time to remain in contact with the fabric. Having your parka professionally cleaned before storage means it's clean, fresh, and ready when Winnipeg's cold weather inevitably returns.

Once cleaned, allow your parka to hang freely on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry location. Avoid tightly compressing it for long-term storage, as this can affect the loft of the down insulation.

What About Canada Goose Warranty Claims?

Proper garment care is particularly important if you ever need Canada Goose to inspect your parka for a warranty claim.

Canada Goose requires products submitted for warranty inspection to be recently cleaned according to the instructions on the Product Care Label. For garments specifically labelled Dry Clean Only, Canada Goose instructs customers to have them cleaned by a reputable professional dry cleaner and to retain the cleaning receipt.
