Washing a down duvet..

So my kitty had a bit of a dirty protest on my bed. She did a little widdle on our comforter...HEY, its happened to all of us pet owners! Anyway, the duvet cover got the brunt of the liquid, but the duvet did get a little bit.

The washing directions said to wash it in a commercial machine/dryer...do you think I could risk it and wash it at home??

I would wash it on the delicate cycle...then put it in the dryer on AIR only...no heat to fluff it up

If you can get it in there without stuffing it in I think it'd be fine to do at home. I think commercial washers are just bigger!

I washed mine at home and it came out flat. You definitely need to fluff or have it done professionally. I have heard a tennis ball does the trick.

Re: Washing a down duvet..

I was mine in the washing machine and when drying it I add two tennis balls in the dryer to fluff it up.

I washed mine at my moms house (we dont have a washer and go to the laundromat) and put tennis balls in the dryer and it came out fine.
