Washing a down bag is simple.
you need Nikwax 2 part down wash.
a laundrette with a big dryer.
Firstly turn it inside out and put it in the machine with the down cleaner on a hand wash or delicates , same rules apply as with jackets and things, empty the drawer and make sure you clrean any fabric softner out.
As soon as thats finished repeat the cycle using the down proofer.
then put it in for a spin cylce to remove excess water.
Now at this point you will think you have totaly destroyed the bag as it looks terrible.
Next up off to the laundrette, turn the bag the right way round and bung it in the big dryer for around 3 hours, shaking it out every 30 mins or so untill its dry.
My local laundrette lets me just drop the bag of andf they will take care of it for me and they charge 30 quid for 2 bags.
So its worth whil;e going in first and speaking to them.so you dont have to sit there for 3 hours,
the down cleaner from tiso costs around 6.50 if you have the discount card so for 2 bags to be washed I pay around 50 quid and I do this once a year.
and the difference is unbelievable, it feels like a new bag every time.
Hope that helps
