Whats the best way to clean a down comforter? (Know this isn't the best but it needs to be cleaned)?

Question:

Answers:
Wash it in a large capacity washer at the laundromat. Tumble dry with a pair of tennis shoes or sneakers. The shoes will prevent the down from clumping up.

If you machine-wash use warm water and a small amount of mild liquid soap. A front loading commercial size machine on gentle cycle (your standard washing machine is to small). Do not use bleach or fabric softener. After wash cycle is finished run your comforter through at least 2 rinse cycles. This will assure all soap has been removed.

Tumble dry on low heat setting. DO NOT LINE DRY! Add a couple of tennis balls or clean canvas tennis shoes to help break up large clumps of down while drying your comforter. Remove comforter and fluff. Return comforter to dryer until completely dry. This may take several hours depending on the size and weight of the comforter.
