Answer 2

~~You can dip them in a soapy water mixture of baby shampoo and water Just swirl them around gently. Then rinse them in clean water.Then blow ry on low heat with a hair blow-dryer. The come and full and fluffy again.

Answer 3

I would suggest one of those cans of pressurized air that's meant for cleaning electronics. Just use it from a good distance so you don't damage the feathers.

Answer 4

You can use a cloth that is damp with water and just lightly go over them it should remove the dust without hurting the feathers. If its tiny feathers though I have learned that using canned air works good on them too as long as you dont spray it full blast.
