Monique, [beautiful name!] please, don't disassemble your down
comforter! There is not a top loading washer large enough for your
comforter. If you have a Whirlpool Duet, Maytag Neptune or similar large
front loading washer, you can wash it at home. Otherwise, make sure it
is sound condition and take it to a laundromat where you can use a large
commercial-type washer. Please, let us know how it goes--however you
wash it.

The washer's design will give plenty of room, provide gentle agitation,
and extract much of the rinse water. I do not recommend fabric softener
for down products.

Down is harder to dry than polyester filling, but well worth it! IMHO.

I've a rather fancy down comforter (because I get cold easily) and I
think it is wonderful. In fact, I suspect God uses a down comforter! :-)

Thank you.
