Hi All
Just read through the replies to cleaning a duvet, I know someone who owns a launderette and she gets quite a few duvets coming into her, although you might give your dry cleaner the duvet to clean that does not mean it is going to be dry cleaned, generally they are washed. The reason the pricing for washing and drying a duvet seems expensive is due to the drying of the duvets, you can't put a duvet into a dryer for say 40 minutes and expect it to be dry, although it will feel dry, after a while it will start to sweat, so needs to go back into the dryer.
In relation to feathered duvets, unless it is dried after washing, it will start to smell.
She would advise our customers on pricing and sometimes even suggest just buying a new duvet as it can sometimes work out cheaper.
Regards
