Good day, all!  

I have a down comforter that hasn't been washed since I bought it 7-8
yrs ago!  I'm motivated today to clean it.  The tag says dry clean only
or professional wash.  Well, I'm a pro at washing down.  How can this
thing be any different than my down bag, down vest, down jacket, down
gloves, ect?  

thank you.
