[quote=Anonymous]I have a down comforter I bought from LL Bean that will be 3 years old in July. I have always used a duvet cover on it which I wash every time I change the sheets. I have never washed the comforter before, as you are not really supposed to wash down, even though the label says it's machine washable. Recently, I've noticed it is starting to get a bit smelly and my sheets feel like they need to be changed more often, they don't keep that fresh clean feeling as long as they used to. I am reluctant to wash the comforter as if you don't do it right it can get ruined, and it takes a long time to dry, and the down must be completely dry or it will mold.

That being said, does anyone have any suggestions or experiences with freshening up the comforter without washing it? I don't know if it's the down that is smelly or just the cover. I have tried letting it air out and spraying it with Febreze but that didn't help. I wonder if spraying with vinegar and letting air dry would help? I've also read suggestions to put in dryer with dryer sheets to fluff it up.[/quote]
