Put the doll in a plastic bag. Pour salt in the bag. Close the bag and shake it. The salt will clean the feathers. Take the doll out of the bag and shake it gently.

You do not say what type of doll/angels or size but I assume they are not very large?
Salt will clean feathers but if you put the doll into a bag with salt and shake be sure it will not do more harm to your angels such as making more feathers fall out.

I have brushed and cleaned the feathers on my ceramic figurines with salt and a medium soft brush but you should be gentle so as not to do harm to the feathers or the figurines.
I have also had to repair dropping feathers but I did this with just regular glue and tweezers and they have lasted a good while.

You can gently clean them with a toothbrush and dry salt.
