Dreft for babies is a good choice or Woolite. The other brands now all have a gentler version so any of those would work too. Choose a gentle detergent if washing yourself.

Washing it too much will cause it to shrink and over time it will be as flat as the bedspread you passed up to buy the comforter in the first place.

Take it to the laundry mat and use one of the large capacity washers or have it professionally cleaned. But if you take it to a cleaner make sure you tell them you want it as fluffy when it returns as it is the day you gave it to them!
