I Googled and got a 50/50 split as to do it or not.
I have a 16 year old duvet that has been in storage for the past 15 years.
I think the stain is either coffee or orange juice? I remember sponge cleaning the spot when it happened. Time, has produced a dark stain.
The big recommendation with washing feather duvets is to completely dry them.
A hot dryer with tennis balls added and then to a clothesline for as long as possible.
Fabric softner is a no no since it makes the feathers stick together.
I am going to give it a try tomorrow. I bought some tennis balls and have found a half decent laundry mat.
