• There's nothing quite as cozy on a cold, winter's
  night than the familiar warmth of a down
  comforter. Available in endless colors, styles,
  sizes and materials, these types of comforters
  are timeless in their appeal and can also be used
  most of the year round. But how do you clean a
  down comforter that is used on a consistent basis
  and is it okay to launder one at home? The
  dispute as to the best way to effectively clean a
  down comforter is a long running one, with some
  maintaining that dry cleaning is the best method,
  while others say that laundering at home is all
  right, provided if both are done properly.
  Manufacturers of down products will list their
  approved methods of cleaning on the label, so
  it's important to read them carefully before
  beginning to clean your comforter. There are
  professional cleaners who specialize in cleaning
  items made with down and some will also clean
  comforters sent in by mail. Click here

• Cleaning Your Down Comforter at Home-Using a
  gentle cleaning solution that's specially
  formulated for washing down, it is possible to
  wash your own comforter at home, but only do so
  when necessary. Over-washing can impair the down
  clusters, remove their natural oils and even
  cause the comforter to shrivel or become
  distorted. Most washing machines and clothes
  dryers aren't built for handling items as large
  as down comforters, which become very heavy when
  wet. A front-load washing machine, such as those
  used commercially, are better for washing the
  size and weight of the comforter. Always check
  the comforter for any rips, tears, or places
  where the seams are coming apart to ensure no
  down is lost during the washing process. Visit

• Repair any loose stitches before washing using a
  matching thread. Next, the washing machine should
  be set to the most delicate setting, using
  lukewarm, never hot or cold, water, with a mild
  detergent thoroughly mixed into the water before
  adding the comforter.

• Use a pair of clean, white canvas shoes, without
  laces, to help keep the comforter moving around
  in the washer, keeping the down equally
  distributed without letting lumps to form. Use an
  extra rinse cycle to be sure to remove all of the
  cleaner and gently pull some of the comforter
  from the machine to squeeze as much water out of
  each section as possible before running the spin
  cycle.
• A distinct odor is natural in products made from
  down and should disappear once the comforter is
  totally dry. Again, using the clean tennis shoes,
  or a few tennis balls placed inside clean socks,
  put the comforter in the dryer on the lowest
  configuration possible. Every so often, carefully
  take out the comforter to fluff it out and
  redistribute, this ensures that all areas are dry
  and free from lumps. A large down comforter may
  take three hours or so to totally dry. However,
  you can speed up the drying process by hanging it
  in the sun on a breezy day. Get more info down
