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.

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
