from the website concerned

"In addition to keeping the penguins warm the jumpers stop the birds preening themselves and swallowing the toxic oil, before their feathers get washed. "

presumably once they have been washed ( short cycle at 40 degrees with no extra spin leaves your penquin white and persil bright ) they preen and reoil themselves and no longer need the jumpers
