That's what I always use and it works great. Washing down is not really technically difficult but does require a little more attention and a good bit more time.
1. Use a front loading washer.
2. Use woolite
3. Add extra rinse cycle.
4. Dry low-heat with tennis ball.
5. Keep drying till its dry & fluffy.
I have down items that are over 40 years old and still very usable.
