THE WASHINGTON POST – Washing down at home isn’t an easy task, because the feathers clump up when damp.
Adding up to three tennis balls to a dryer, then tumbling a just-washed down item until it’s dry helps break up the clumps, but some often remain. To break them up, you need to run the dryer multiple times, and you might need to resort to pinching and pulling at the clumps through the fabric, which can be very time-consuming.
All About Down, a company in Seattle, has a couple of tricks that give better results. It extracts the down, puts it in a temporary case made of relatively porous fabric, then washes it to remove oils, mite remains and other grime.

Parkway Custom Drycleaning has moved from Chevy Chase where it had been for 50 years to North Bethesda.
The dry cleaning business, which started in 1926, moved Dec. 1 from 8402 Connecticut Ave. to its current location on Randolph Road, near its intersection with Parklawn Drive, owner Jon Simon told Bethesda Beat last week.
The Chevy Chase site that Parkway Custom left might be turned into retail space with residential units or a hotel, according to a representative for the owners.
