    Welcome to HF DIY!

    I don't quite understand your question..do you mean 'wash loose down' or are you asking about washing down items (sleeping bags/quilts) ?
    If it's the latter, you'll find lots of info on washing down products on the web...most good sleeping bag companies have that info in their FAQ, or just do a search.....

    I'd wash the comforter with down detergent and tumble dry low/no heat. Some add tennis balls to dryer, I only add juggling balls at the end.. for maybe 4 or 5 minutes.
