Most companies recommend you dry clean your down. However, if you are very brave, you can wash it at home, though it could possibly cause damage to either your item or the washer and dryer.
Cold water - as much as possible. NEVER use fabric softener. Skimpy amount of laundry detergent. If it is balooning up, it is not getting washed. Do several cycles until it looks small and wrung out.
Dry on COLD air, with a tennis ball or nylon ring (like a dog toy). This breaks up the down. Do so for 1/2 hour, air dry. _____________________________________________ Personally, I took my goose down duvet to the laundromat and had them wash and dry it. My cat decided to use my down duvet as a litter box- so dry cleaning was not an option. I was informed that the down takes almost an entire day in the dryer to dry and that it must be completely dry otherwise it will stink.
