As long as there have been no big spills ( tea or coffee in bed etc.) I put mine out in the sun in the yard ( a balcony would do) for the afternoon, then shake it out and put it in the dryer on air fluff for about an hour. I worked in a dry cleaners and they used to say that although you CAN wash and dry a feather duvet yourself, it's very difficult to get the filler completely dry and it will mildew over time and become unusable. they have huge, very high heatf drum driers that really get it thoroughly dry, so if it needs cleaning, I'd go the dry cleaning route. good luck.

Duvet is another word for comforter. A duvet cover is like a big, big pillowcase into which you insert your comforter (or duvet). Like a pillowcase, the duvet cover keeps the duvet clean longer.
How do you use a duvet cover?
A duvet cover is used as an envelope to hold a duvet. To insert the duvet into the duvet cover, first spread the duvet cover flat over the bed. Open the bottom of the duvet cover. Find the top of the duvet and grab hold of the two top corners. The tricky part is sliding the duvet into the duvet cover. As best you can, while continuing to hold tight to the duvet corners, work the duvet up to the top of the duvet cover. Place one corner of the duvet into the corresponding corner of the duvet cover. Hold tightly onto that corner from the outside. Next, do the same at the other top corner. Hold tight to both corners and pull them up to the top of the bed. Make sure the middle top side of the duvet also lines up with the middle top side of the duvet cover. Now, as best you can, slide the duvet cover down over top of the duvet. Both the duvet cover and duvet will likely be bunched up, but keep gently working it down. It is a bit tricky. The goal is to get the bottom two corners of the duvet aligned into the bottom corners of the duvet cover. When the duvet and cover are mostly aligned, give the covered duvet a good shake to even out the contents. When you are happy with the duvet distribution, do up the bottom of the duvet cover. Now, snuggle up.

Some might require buttoning, others will zip and some will have ties to close the cover.Once the cover is properly fastened, it is ready to place on the bed.
