How do you clean a feather Doona?

I have just been given my grandmothers feather doona it is about 70 years old but it needs a clean it has never been washed is their a way of doing it very gently

Answers:
Check first for any tears or worn areas. If in good condition wash on gentle cycle in cold water with detergent of choice. It can be hung outdoors for drying but this will not fluff the feathers. You can also place in the dryer with a clean pair of tennis shoes to fluff the feathers. Maybe partially dry to fluff and then hang outdoors to dry.

Other answers:
The best solution is to remove the old feathers, wash the cover and then put new feathers back in it. Good luck!
