How do you wash and dry feathers?
I got a large bag of turkey feathers, which a few cats had ###### on. I was wondering what is the best way to wash and dry the feathers. Can I stick them in the washing machine and dryer with washing powder or just soak them in a mild soapy water and then let them dry naturally?
