How to Wash a Heated Vest Safely

von GOKOZYHeated Apparel An Jul 10, 2025
 A woman checking the care label inside a heated vest before washing.

Heated vests are game-changers in cold weather—but like any wearable tech, they eventually need cleaning. Whether it’s from daily commutes, outdoor activities, or just regular wear, dirt and sweat build up. So the question is: can you actually wash a heated vest? The answer is yes—but there’s a right way and a wrong way to do it.

Is It Safe to Wash a Heated Vest?

Yes, most heated vests on the market today—including GOKOZY models—are washable. But that doesn’t mean you can toss them in the wash like your gym hoodie. Heated vests contain delicate electronics and battery connectors, which require a bit of care.

Most quality brands design their heated vests with washable fabrics and flexible carbon fiber heating elements. However, **you must remove the battery** before cleaning, and follow specific instructions to avoid damaging the internal heating system.

Step-by-Step: How to Wash a Heated Vest Safely

Step 1: Remove the Battery Pack

Always unplug and remove the power bank from its compartment. This is non-negotiable. Washing the vest with the battery still inside is dangerous and could damage both the electronics and your washer.

Step 2: Check the Label

Each brand has its own care tag inside the vest. Look for icons or text that clarify:

  • If machine washing is allowed

If you don’t have the tag, go with the safest bet: hand wash in cold water.

Step 3: Pre-Treat Stains (Optional)

Use a mild detergent or stain remover on areas like the collar, underarms, or inside lining. Gently rub with your fingers or a soft cloth—no scrubbing or bleach.

Step 4: Wash by Hand or Machine (Gentle Only)

Hand Washing: Use cold water and a small amount of gentle detergent. Gently swish the vest in water for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

Machine Washing: If allowed, place the vest in a laundry bag, use cold water and the delicate cycle only. Avoid top-load washers with center agitators—they can twist or stretch the fabric.

Step 5: Air Dry Only

Never tumble dry a heated vest. High heat can melt wires, warp insulation, or cause heating zones to fail. Instead, lay it flat on a towel or hang it in a well-ventilated area. Keep it away from direct sunlight and heaters.

What Not to Do When Washing a Heated Vest

  • ❌ Don’t wash with the battery inside
  • ❌ Don’t use bleach or harsh chemicals
  • ❌ Don’t wring or twist the vest
  • ❌ Don’t iron or tumble dry
  • ❌ Don’t dry clean (the chemicals may damage heating elements)

How Often Should You Clean It?

If you wear your heated vest regularly, plan to wash it every 4–6 wears—or sooner if it’s exposed to sweat, food, or dirt. For light use (like commuting), every few weeks may be enough. Just remember, proper care extends its lifespan and keeps it smelling fresh.

Signs It’s Time for a Wash

  • Noticeable odor or sweat stains
  • Visible dirt or salt residue
  • The vest feels sticky or greasy to the touch

Think of it like your favourite hoodie—comfortable, cozy, and better when clean.

Can You Spot Clean Instead?

Yes! For quick fixes, wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Spot cleaning works well for travel or when you don’t have time for a full wash. Just remember to always unplug the battery before doing anything.

Final Thoughts

Heated vests are easy to care for as long as you follow a few simple rules. With proper cleaning and drying methods, yours will stay warm, comfortable, and safe for seasons to come.

Explore GOKOZY’s heated vest collection to find the right fit—and keep it clean the right way.
