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.

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
