Yes. Warm water. Dry until COMPLETELY dry. If really large, use the front loaders at the laundromat. Put a couple of tennis balls or clean sneakers in the dryer to break up the clumps.
*Some* dry cleaners will take feather-filled bedding *if* it is completely enclosed in a case (many feather ticks come with a large zipper covering that can be removed).
To clean a down comforter, you may put it in the washing machine on the delicate setting and warm water, and then allow it to air dry. However, it is recommended that a down duvet is professionally cleaned.
Yes you can water wash goose down but there is quite a risk that it will become clumpy when you dry it. Use mild detergent (special for feathers or wool or silk (all protein fibers) wash warm but not hot (my comforters are washed in 50°C temperature)
I suggest tumble drying - not too hot but for a long time - in a LARGE tumble drying machine and having a few tennis balls in the dryer to fluff the comforter during the entire drying process. this works for me! Dry it for twice the time that you think! When it feels dry keep on tumbling for just as long.
Yes, you can put feather duvets in the dryer.
However - Feathers can and do come out of any feather bedding! If your duvet came with a sheet covering (zippered on one side, stitched on 3 sides, like a big pillow case), you should put the duvet into the outer covering. Lay it flat and work the duvet into the corners, so it's flat inside the covering.
Then, when you place the duvet into a dryer, the loose feathers will go into the outer case--- and not into your dryer.
Because feather items collect dirt / dust and are perfect breeding grounds for dust mites, and since they are so cumbersome to wash, people should simply replace these items every 1 to 2 years. Dust mites can cause allergic reactions.
** Loose feathers in a home dryer are a potential fire hazard ! Use caution and frequently check your dryer. It may be best to use a laundromat or find a dry cleaners that will accept a covered feather item for cleaning (many businesses won't take them).
Yes you can, Gentle cycle and make sure the machine is big enough for the doona to move around. Watch out for lint clogging up your machine.
It would mat the feathers. You can check with a dry cleaner perhaps there is a dry method to achieve.
Featherbed covers can be washed, but most must be air, not machine, dried.

AnswerGoose feather duvets are best, as geese are cleaner and the duvet doesn't smell like bird, like with duck feathers. The more down, the better quality, but it's warmer and lighter than feathers.
