When I washed my goose down comforter I used fabric softener. Now it has an odor. What do you recommend?

It's probably from condensate because down is very hard to dry. I would leave it out in the sun to hang for as long as possible.
Nok-Out removes odors. You can get it at Amazon.
I always use very, very little soap and at least one vinegar rinse when doing my down comforters and usually do a second vinegar rinse just to be sure as this is not something that I do very often and mine always smell nice and fresh. One or two cups of vinegar is all that is needed for a full (large or extra large) load.

I have washed my goose down comforter at home for 25 years. I use regular detergent, but a little less than recommended. I NEVER use fabric softener as this is NOT recommended by manufacturers of down comforters. Dryer balls are now made of silicone and others made of wool. Use them in the dryer with your comforter. I dried my comforter in the dryer last night for 2 hours and at the 1 hour time I repositioned it to get the parts that had been on the interior of the comforter mass to dry.
