RESPONSIBLE DOWN STANDARD (RDS)
The Responsible Down Standard aims to ensure that down and feathers come from animals that have not been subjected to an unnecessary harm. It is our hope that the standard can be used to reward and influence the down and feather industry to incentivize practices that respect the humane treatment of ducks and geese. We believe that education – through the RDS – is a meaningful way to drive demand for strong animal welfare practices. The standard also provides companies and consumers with a tool to know what is in their products, and to make accurate claims. The Responsible Down Standard is an independent, voluntary global standard. The standard recognizes and rewards the best practices in animal welfare. Not only farmers, but brands and supply chain members need to meet their obligations to respect the Five Freedoms of the animals that provide their down and feathers, and to meet the trust of consumers that are choosing RDS products.
The 5 freedoms are:
1.Freedom from Hunger and Thirst - by ready access to fresh water and a diet to maintain full health and vigor.
2.Freedom from Discomfort - by providing an appropriate environment including shelter and a comfortable resting area.
3.Freedom from Pain, Injury or Disease - by prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment.
4.Freedom to Express Normal Behavior - by providing sufficient space, proper facilities and company of the animal's own kind.
5.Freedom from Fear and Distress - by ensuring conditions and treatment which avoid mental suffering.

CARE
- Partial cleaning: Apply collar cleaner or liquid detergent on the stain, wipe off by wet towel after a few minutes. Repeat the procedure until the jacket is cleaned.
- Whole jacket washing: Soak the jacket in the cold water for 20 minutes before you squeeze out the water. Mix the warm water (20-30℃) with laundry powder or detergent, soak the jacket in for 5-10 minutes. Then gently scrub the jacket. After scrubbing, rinse it with 30℃ water for 2 times, and then 3 times with cold water. Wrap the jacket by a dry bath towel. Airing it after squeezing out the water gently.
- Airing the down jacket during the rainy season to avoid moldy spots. Clean it with alcoholic cotton if your jacket has a few moldy spots, then wipe it by a wet towel. Gently pat the jacket after airing to make sure it is completely dried. Store it in the cool and dry place.
- Neutral laundry detergent can reduce the damage to the protein fiber(down) and keep the jacket shining and fluffy.
- Do not iron the down jackets, avoid the direct exposure under the sunlight.
- Clean and make sure the down jacket is dried before you store it. A hanging cloth storage bag is preferred to avoid the dust and keep the jacket fluffy.
- Before you use the new duvet, tile the duvet on the bed, make sure they fully recover from the package shape. Then, if possible, hang the duvet outside to release the smell.
- Duvet cover (protector) is always recommended.
- Bag and store the down duvet in the cool & dry place, when it is not expected to be used in a long time. Do not vacuum pack the duvet.
- If the entire duvet gets dirty and needs to be washed, we suggest you send it to the dry-cleaning shop, instead of wash it by your washing machine at home. The fill power of the down cluster could be damaged by inappropriate treatment.
- When part of the down duvet needs to be washed, simply apply the down detergent with warm water, then squeeze it dry when the washing process is completed. Down duvet needs to be dried in the tumble dryer or under the sunlight. Gently pat the duvet. Otherwise, down clusters are easily broken down to the fibers, which will affect the insulation performance of the duvet.
