    Probably a 1/3 the cost of a new bag.

    My wife decided to be nice to me one day and wash my down bag for me. Ever since each year it had been getting colder and colder on the chest area.
    What should you do to clean a down bag?

    Mine says dry cleaning only.

    I think the issue with normal washing is it clumps up the down creating areas with no down thus allowing the cold through
