QS = queen size, sorry.

Its not old, maybe 8-10 years.

I think ill try the washing method with a little detergent only and give
it a very very good solid dry.

thanks all.


Drying hint: Buy a set of tennis balls (I paid $2 for 3) and throw them in
the dryer with the quilt. It's a little noisy, but this keeps the down from
bunching up. Everything dries much more nicely and easily. No joke! Also
make sure you dry on low heat or just air.

I can definitely recommend the duvet cover, also. Some can be pricey, but
you can find them for as little as $20, too (think close-out stores, or at
least one of the big bedding stores).
