I tried a service wash in Brockley and it was not good at all so then tried an online one following Jules-and-Boo's suggestion (thankyou).  I tried Love2Laundry.  It was more expensive than a local service wash but the duvets came back clean. So I will use again.  They collect and drop off.

Local dry cleaners may be able to help as well.

Local dry cleaners just use local launderettes, and up the price.

Or at least that's what used to happen at the dry cleaners near the Post Office, according to a launderette.

You used to see the duvets piled up in their window. If they still do this, they must hide them somewhere!

You can't dry clean duvets.

Sounds a good idea - how long did they take to do? When we used Wash and Dry in LL took in morning and  collected late afternoon.

well I've had mine dry cleaned

Maybe the process used has changed then. Or maybe it depends on the filling.

But you certainly didn't used to be able (sorry for bad grammar) to have them dry cleaned, because of the chemicals used.

And dry cleaners did certainly used to (bad grammar again) take them in for cleaning and then just send them to a local launderette.

Without letting on to their customers, obviously!

the launderette on Bellenden Road is pretty good - and a cleaner and less frantic experience than Wash and Dry on LL ever was. But I gather that it's also due to close - the owner is waiting for the buyer to get funds together..

That’s a shame. Do you know what the premises will become?

I’m quite sure the dry cleaner near the Post Office took the duvets to the launderette on LL/corner of Pellatt Road.  One of the women who worked there told me.

Yes, that's the dry cleaner I was thinking of. 

Though I believe they used to take them to the launderette in Lordship Lane on the same side as them, towards what is now the Picture House.

That closed down a long time ago, so possibly after that they used the one at the end of Pellatt Road.

They used to have piles of duvets in their window for all to see (the dry cleaners, not the launderette!)

All gentrified now 😂

Which one was this, just so I know where to avoid?!?

We always have our duvets dry cleaned at the Dry cleaners in Forest Hill (Dartmouth road next door to Bunka)

been doing so for years and they never have a chemical smell and come back spotlessly clean.

In fact he dry cleans all our clothes and they never smell 'chemical'

      Coordinated posts intended to mould opinions and silence debate

      I have been thinking about it and what I have loosely come up with so far are sites and types. Sites Here, Comment is Free, the Independent, the BBC (difficult as their comments section is only ever on trivia), The Telegraph (less so but increasing), The times (rapidly increasing), New Statesman, Spectator (much less so but some increase) even the Daily Mail and UnHerd (perhaps even union platforms, agit-prop and "progressive" platforms, XR, "middle-East", Just Stop Oil, Reddit, Bluesky, Truth Social etc.) I am sure the AI will find more to cross-reference. Types Astro-turfers, single-issue obsessives (frequently overlap with Astro-turfers), floral enforcers, ideologues, political staff, hypocrites, luxury belief pushers, Igors and Renfields. The vast majority are; normal local residents a bit frustrated with something; those looking for a tradesman; or just the friendly saying hello and looking for a bit of community. Spartacus thank you. Although you should probably find something else to more interesting occupy your time; my energy for this is rapidly deflating. It won't disappear and I will get it done (once I work out which AI and which parameters to use) but it might not happen for a while. I saw your comment on the PIP thread; you have to use your single worst day to apply. Being bravely determined not to be defeated (a quality most normal people find admirable and honourable) means your claim can easily be rejected or at least made difficult. "I will get up, I will walk to the shop, I will cook". Those are the tests you have to make clear you only ever fail at. Sorry but its the truth. I wish you good luck with it.

      Going by tracking information they go via Croydon and East Dulwich (Peckham) sorting offices. Round my way, and I know it varies from street to street, delivery of tracked items brought by the regular postman is mostly reliable. I've noticed if there isn't a postman doing a regular round, there may be a walking postman just delivering the tracked items.

      Are the parcel services organised by the local sorting office? We always notice parcels delivered by the vans are delivered on time but those that come via the postie can be unpredictable and we often get a "you were not in" when no-one even attempted delivery.
