Noisy, but so easy! 1) Wash your quilt or throw ALONE in the washing machine on GENTLE cycle (warm temperature). 2) Use detergent, as usual. Do not use bleach. (Your item will be quite soggy and limp after washing, but do not worry!) 3) Machine-dry the quilt or throw ALONE. (Toss three brand-new/clean tennis balls in the dryer with it.) They will bounce around and fluff up your quilt or throw. 4) You may have to run it through a few drying cycles, but it will come out clean and puffy, just like new. NOTE: I keep a can of clean tennis balls in my laundry room, just for laundering feather-filled quilts, throws, jackets. Etc. Learn more about this author, Linda Ann Nickerson.

∙ 9y agoYou must remove the pillow case, assure the feather pillow has no holes or rips. Next, set the washing mashing to delicate, you must make sure to balance the load, then add the detergent to the wash. To dry the pillow put it on the gentlest cycle your machine has. End it by fluffing the pillow for maximum comfort.

∙ 10y agoFirst of all, you need to put your washing machine on gentle cycle, then make sure that the duvet will fit into the machine. After that, I would air dry it by hanging it outside (weather permitting) or hanging it on a shower rod.

∙ 12y agoI wash mine normal (by itself) then when drying it I turn the dryer on low heat and put 2 tennis balls in the dryer with it. This helps keep it fluffy...

∙ 14y agoThe best way to clean a feather bed, is dry clean or hand wash, however to keep it fresh it should be aired out as well. Basically hang it up outside to get a nice breeze running through it.

What is the best duvet filling you can buy Does 100 percent Siberian goose down exist or is it a marketing con Are these geese protected These are claims from retailers what's the real truth?
I can tell from experience, I was showing our Siberian goose down filled products as well as other products from our store and at the end of the show myself and my 2 coworkers, we took some of the pillows and started pillow fighting as a joke and then the other vendors got into it and started ryling us on and it got serious...so serious that I took one of our Siberian goose down pillows and hit the the guy who works with me upside the head (595$ pillow) and the pillow exploded...Siberian goose down everywhere it was hilarious these little poofs of feather because down is a protein derivitive of the goose feather, we were all laughing and swallowing down at the same time. up until then I had just sold the product and taken the vendors word for it. it was all white and fluffy and you could tell why they charged so much for the stuff. By the end of the show there was down in a fifty foot radius in every direction of where we stood. I am going to shameless plug though, I own a 100year old store in west palm beach fl. called Pioneer Linens, My name is Alan Murphy J and that is a true story. Yes, it does exist - the truth is that Siberia does have geese farmers who look after geese who are primarily kept for their down as it truly is excellent down. The truth is also that geese do fly and so when people say that there is no such thing as Siberian goose down it could be that the goose is from an area close by and this is where they get the claim that there is no such thing as Siberian goose down. Most duvet companies who sell Siberian goose down sell them as their luxury range as Siberian down is of the highest quality. Once the down is collected is it inspected by experts who will then only collect the very finest down clusters for their Siberian duvets. if you are looking for a duvet of distinction which is Siberian then I would recommend Kauffmann duvets who create their duvets in Austria where there are stringent rules and regulations for quality and the environment. Kauffman no 1 and Princess of the Night are both Siberian goose down and although, expensive they truly are luxury duvets which will last for over 10 years. I can guarantee that once you have slept under Siberian goose down you will know the difference and you will not want to sleep under anything else.

What is warmer a goose or duck down jacket?
If you are talking about the warmth of a duvet it really doesn't matter which feather you use but depends on the tog rating of the one you have. The higher the tog the warmer the duvet. Most feather duvets come with either feather & down, or just down, the F&D are about 65% feather and 35% down. with these you get the 65% of feathers that may contain the stalks and the 35% down may contain the immature nestling feathers in them. With the down duvets you get 85% down and 15% nestling feathers. (please note: these percentages will be different for each manufacturer).A.Down is warmer than feathers, duck down is superior to goose, and the Eider duck has the best down of all. This is why the comforter (US) is called an "eiderdown" in the UK. The name duvet comes from the French word for down. Another name is "dyne" or Doona (pronounced dewner) which comes from Scandinavian languages. It can also be called a continental quilt or blanket.
