How do they sanitize down. Do they blast it with death rays or something?
There is a video on the www.featherind.com site.

I was gonna say they use fairy dust and unicorn tears but I guess it's just a machine that does the work.

You had to ask. BD :D
my grandmother used to save and card down from geese we kept for food..she would wash and process the down and make pillows and quilts from it...very labor intensive..from what i remeber of the process...store bought is a much better way to go..
