With the right technique the damage can be mitigated and depending on the state washing might be necessary - but generally you should wash down as rarely as possible. | |

Feb 26, 2023 at 20:38 | comment | added | bob1 | The usual method is to add a bunch (3-5) of clean/new tennis balls or a clean shoe to the drier when drying. This separates the feathers. I don't know if you can do this with an already dried bag or if re-wetting will work. General advice with down is to get them dry-cleaned by a dry-cleaning company rather than washing yourself. | |
