I have taken my down bag to my local outdoor store (A 16 in West LA) and they sent it out for professional cleaning. I don't think they dry cleaned it because dry cleaning fluids will damage down. Don't take my word for it, though, ask your manufacturer what they recommend.

Here is what Western Mountaineering has to say on the subject.

If you are not familiar with WM or FF, they make very high end bags. so I would trust whatever they say.
