The North Face customer service representative instructed me to wash down jackets ONLY IN POWDER DETERGENT...liquid detergent matts the down b/c it does not rinse off of feathers.

The last time I tried washing it all the feathers clumped together inside the coat and it didn't look so good. Uh, you definitely should NOT be putting down into a washing machine. You will ruin all the insulating properties of the feathers.It really depends, you can read online how to wash down if you have a front loader, some brands recommend washing with something like a tennis ball so the feathers do not clump. Read the directions and find out if you need to buy any other product like nikwax downwash. cheers.
