Easy. The nice thing about down is it's really tough stuff. I've got 5 down bags, and one is 25 years old, been washed many times, and is still my favorite bag, so I know this works. I'm also assuming your bag is normal ripstop and not some tissue thin super ultralite fabric....either way, follow the directions on the bag tag.
Honey is water soluble and comes right out, so no worries here.

What I do:

1. string a line on your patio or between two trees, open your bag, and hang it up long ways over the line, so you can get to both sides. Fill a bucket with warm water and a squirt of unscented Dawn dish washing liquid. With a big sponge, wipe down your bag, inside and out. Do this two more times with fresh clean, warm, rinse water. Towel it down. Let air dry well and inspect. It's likely your bag will be good to go. The down is probably fine, it's the shell you're cleaning. If not clean or your feeling honey clumped down after drying, proceed to #2.

2. Assuming you have a washer/dryer....front loader is best but I've done this for three decades in a top loader with no problems... just pay attention. First, put on some good music! You'll be here a while. Set your machine to warm/warm, fill it, and shut if off. An unscented liquid laundry detergent is fine....dump some in and stir with your hand or a poker stick. (you write back and tell me you've torn off your arm, I'm NOT responsible!! Machine OFF!) <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
With the bag still in it's stuff sack, submerge it in the water and slowly begin pulling it out of the stuff sack, underwater, allowing to saturate. (if you don't do the stuff sack thing, you'll be wrestling a giant bloated/wet monster!) Once out of the bag, work out all the air pockets. If you have a front loader, run a normal cycle and two rinse cycles. If a top loader, wash it by hand in the machine tub...skip the wash cycle....(then remove your hand and close the door <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />) , two spin and rinse cycles. It's the spin cycle after the two rinses that's important....spin the heck out of it...the more spinning, the less drying.
Once spun....zip tie a sock around any zippers, fluff, and put it in the dryer. Dry normal heat. Throw in some tennis balls to keep things interesting (tennis balls or not, it will still dry.) Check the bag every few minutes early to make sure it's not knotted up. During they drying phase, it's normal to lose a few feathers, but you're losing 'em anyway with normal use.

You should thank who ever borrowed your bag that they didn't spill oil, meat juices, or transmission fluid on it, but even that can be removed. If they spill sardines on your bag, in some states, you have the right to kill 'em. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

















Rules around here: no chocolate or sticky goo while on my sleeping bags/quilts.
