how to wash goose feather pillow?

Answer 1

I think answerer 1 is correct for foam pillows but I thought you couldn't wash goose down.

Here is what grandma used to do: Open the pillow casing. Take the feathers out, put them in a roasting pan. Wash the casing like any other linens. Heat the feathers in the oven at low heat for several hours. (I don't know what temperature she used. Very low, feathers can burn.) Return the feathers to the casing and sew the seam closed.

Answer 2

cut a little slit open on the seem about 4-5 inches, have a trash bag ready like a 13 gallon bag, get all the feathers in the bag, and tie a knot at the top of the bag, wash the empty pillow case, when its dry, cut a corner of the plastic bag on the bottom, kinda like when you are piping on a cake with a zip lock bag, and fill it slowly through the 4-5 inch opening in the pillow case, once all the feathers are in sew it up, sounds hard but its not I've done it a dozen times, hope this helped!

Answer 3

With cold water in the washing machine. Fluff dry or low heat dry, until the lumps dissapear. You can also use a tennis ball to bounce "Up" your pillow

Answer 4

Dry clean only. If you want the feel of a down without the cleaning hassles, Linens n Things have a line called Comforel Oppulence. They go right into the washer and dryer and never lump up.

Answer 5

I don't know, but I know that you don't want to put it in the washer & dryer with the feathers in it. I did it once and it smelled sooooo bad out of the dryer! Definately DON'T recommend it!

Answer 6

Take it to the dry cleaners and save yourself the headache!
