That all depends on the comforter. There should be a tag on the one you have (or will purchase) that lets you know if it is washable. Down Alternative comforters for the most part are washable.

I'm thinking about getting a down comforter. How do I go about cleaning them Are there any available that can be put in the washing machine?

I think you can put any down comforter brand in the washing machine. With mine I used Woolite in the wash and then use dryer balls in the dryer. Usually I lay it out the whole day after cleaning it so it can dry thoroughly. The easiest approach is to get a nice cover for the comforter. You'll be able to wash the cover much easier than the entire comforter.

What will happen to a down comforter if you wash it?

Washing a Down ComforterNothing - I have a Pacific Coast down comforter and I wash it at least once every 2-3 months. At first I was afraid to wash it, but after I finally did everything was fine. I would just wash it on the gentle cycle and make sure you dry it really good, but not on high heat. If it doesn't get all the way dry the feathers will clump together inside the boxes. I'm sure over time its not great to wash them over and over again, it probably wears them out faster, but once and a while its ok.Washing is ok. Do not dry clean. Down industry groups recommend washing down comforters.

How to Care for a Down Comforter?

A down comforter looks soft and inviting and is a luxurious addition to any bedding. But down comforters also require special maintenance to keep them looking clean, new and soft. The upkeep isn’t hard, but it is important. Here are some of the things needed to keep your comforter looking new. Always keep a cover on your comforter. This protects it from dirt, debris and body oils. This also allows you to wash the cover without washing the actual comforter. Down comforters cannot be washed in a regular washer and dryer, so keeping it covered is vital. It is not recommended to wash your comforter yourself. You should fluff up your comforter each day, and air it out occasionally. To air it out, simply hang it on a clothes line on a sunny day, or shake it out while outside. This keeps the comforter looking and smelling fresh. If you do this on a regular basis, it should maintain its fluffiness. Because the comforter can’t be washed regularly, you will want to have it dry cleaned every few years. Having it cleaned every three to five years or so should be sufficient. This will keep it clean but also minimize the amount of chemicals and cleaners used on your comforter. Frequent washing can damage the comforter, and it also causes the comforter to shrink slightly. To keep the comforter fluffy, it’s best to keep from sitting or lying on top of it. The down, when repeatedly crushed can get worn down and break, which means your comforter will no longer be fluffy. Use the comforter only as a top layer and not something to lie on. Should you ever need to store your comforter, place it in a well-ventilated and dry area. This helps prevent mildew. You should also bring the blanket out of storage now and again to air it out and ensure that it is dry and safe. A down comforter is a great cover for any bed. They are warm and comforting as well as luxurious. As long as you care for the comforter and keep it clean, you should be able to enjoy your comforter for many years.
