Washing a Down Comforter

Nothing - 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.

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.
