Use mild laundry detergent to wash the down comforter. Add 1 cup white vinegar to the rinse cycle to soften the fibers and help get rid of static cling. When you use vinegar in the rinse cycle, you don't need to use a fabric softener. - 3). Dry your down comforter in the dryer. Add a few clean tennis balls or an unused canvas tennis shoe to the load. This prevents down from lumping up inside the comforter.
