Read this article recently http://thegirloutdoors.co.uk/2016/05/25/review-nikwax/#more-14960. Some good advice

If a day or two hanging by an open window doesn't cure it:

Wash gently at 30 degrees with liquid soap
Dry gently on a low heat, ruffling occasionally to break up clumping
Allow a minimum of three days with good airflow to complete drying, store loose and give it a good shake occasionally.

Don't be afraid of cleaning your down gear, if you do it right you'll be grand.

Unless it's a cheap one I'd get it dry cleaned. No point risking an expensive jacket. Last one I had cleaned was about £8.
