Hi,

Looking for any advice on where to get a few duvets cleaned. I used a service on LL last year, but I would like to try someone else. I did a search on the forum, but so far I haven't seen any other threads. Has anyone else used any local services? I have a large king size duvet and two smaller ones I need to have cleaned before storing for the winter. One of the shops on LL quoted me 25 for one. Is this about right? I would love to just know if anyone has a recommendation for a service that they have used a few times for large items.


Last few items on the spring cleaning list!


Thanks!

Just take them to a laundrette, put them in their biggest machine on a hot wash, then an hour or so in the tumble drier - if they are big duvets you may need to divide into 2 loads. I like the laundrette on Sunray/ crossthwaite avenue. A big machine wash costs around ?7 and the tumble drier ?2-3

Friends of Fabric on Bellenden Road for dry cleaning duvets. It is quite pricey anywhere though so depends on how much you spend on duvets and whether or not you may as well chuck it and buy a new one.


I just paid ?12.50 for a single duvet to be cleaned or yes try DIY as sanity girl suggests.

Use the launderette on Pellatt Road/Lordship lane corner. You can stay and do it yourself, or they will do it for you at a small extra charge. I think the dry cleaners by the post office use them, and then charge an extra tenner or so.

Feather and down duvets can be washed, you just need to make they are dried thoroughly. The launderette has tennis balls to put in the dryer to facilitate this.

Launderette on Forest Hill Road, they do a great job, but you might like to ask for a less "fragrance"-laden fabric conditioner. They do supply a non-aromatic one if you ask.


My feather dble size service-washed and tumbledried was less than ?10.


A label on quilt will state if washable.


Have hand washed feather items at home, but they don't usually fit in the drum of an ordinary washing machine to spin out excess moisture. Then drying needs a sunny hot day, labour intensive as pillows or duvet need to be shaken and turned often.

    • To be fair, anything which waylays someone on their way to Palma Nova or Lloret de Mar from spending even more pre-flight time in Spoon's surely has some merit? I think losing a few quid on a litre of Bacardi and 200 Benson & Hedges Gold seems a reasonable price for society to pay. ,

    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.
