Double duvet- launderette

hilstep2000

My local launderette does mine for me. It's feather and down and costs £13. I get it done evry summer, ready for winter.

Absolutely! It seems incredibly wasteful. If I do end up having to get a new one I'll see if any of the animal charities (Battersea is just up the road) or any of the hostels might want it. That would make me feel a little better about getting rid of it.

I was speaking to a veterinary nurse yesterday.

The PDSA prefer single quilts as they are easier to fit in a washing machine, but Celia Hammond and the Retired Racing Greyhound Trust (I think that's the name) love doubles and kingsizes.

This isn't specifically related to washing duvets, but if you're planning to use the tumble dryers too, always clean out the fluff drawer before you start (take a packet of wetwipes). Not only does it make them work more efficiently because they vent better, but you can often find cash that someone left in their jeans pockets.

In my defence I have only had this one 13 months its super king and tbh wasnt sure if it would fit in Launderette.

Previously I have always bought cheap duvet which I can get 12 -18 months out then I replace with new.

(I do change the top sheet weekly and duvet cover and bottom sheet fortnightly)

This super king did however cost me quite a bit of money so will need to wash this one.. will a launderette take a super king goose feather down?

thanks in advance

Yes, a good launderette/dry-cleaners will be able to clean it for you.

I must admit there are times when I've not got enough coins or money to take the duvet over to the launderette, and I find giving the duvet a good vac and then an airing helps to keep it fresh for a while.

Is there any self-serve laundry place around you? Those big machine will fit double duvet. But the downside is you will need to wait 30 - 45 mins in the shop. And you would probably need to pick a sunny day to hang your wet duvet around.
