Take it to a dry cleaners. Do not clean yourself. If any moisture is left in the feathers it will grow mildew. Your local dry cleaners can clean it and put a new covering on your pillow and even add more feathers if you want

Are the feathers dirty or the covering-- if it's the covering-- take out stitches in one side of the cover-- check and see if the feathers are in a tight woven base material. If so-- rip enough stitches on that side to remove the inside feather pillow-- then wash ( or whatever the label says)-- the cover and then put the feather portion back in the cover-- whip stitch ( a way to make invisible stitches) the opening and there you are.....

I hang my feather pillows outside for a few hours on a sunny day and then whack them a bit every now and again and flip them about.
Depending on how old they are though, you might need all new feathers as they tend to get a bit rank and decompose after a few years.

Jellybeans right, cleaners will "Re-Tic" your pillow for about $10 - $25.
