Use Nikwax ® Down Proof ™ to restore your down's hydrophobic properties. Nikwax ® Hydrophobic Down Treatment and Re-Treatment Throwing in 3-5 tennis balls can help agitate the bag, breaking up those wet down clusters to speed dry times. When you check it, feel for clumps of wet down and either shake the bag gently or hand-tease the clumps apart to redistribute down. This can cause hot spots and even melt the bag's shell, so check it often for overheating and visually inspect frequently to make sure it's tumbling. As your bag gets drier, it will begin to loft and can actually fill the dryer chamber, preventing it from tumbling. If you need to dry your bag faster, tumble dry in a large dryer on low heat. Hand-tease or shake out your bag gently to break-up down clumps, and flip it often to help speed the process. Use a well-ventilated, low-humidity environment.

This can be a long process (24-48 hours or more), but this is by far the best way to get the longest life from your down.
