I've used regular liquid laundry detergent. We no longer have down pillows but I still wash down jackets and coats, the same way.

In between washings if you have concerns about dust mites, this is what I read online
"Freezing and sunlight kills mites but does not remove their residue. In addition to freezing temperatures and washing items in temperatures greater than 130 degrees F, extended exposure to sunlight, and low levels of humidity also destroy the mites. "
