Laundromat Laundry Day: Washing Your Comforter and Cool Season Bedding
Washing your comforter and cool season bedding can feel like a daunting task, especially if you don't have a large washing machine at home. However, it's essential to keep these items clean to maintain their quality and freshness. Here's a guide to washing your comforter and cool season bedding at the laundromat:
Choosing the Right Laundromat:
- Size: Make sure the laundromat has large capacity washers that can handle your comforter and bedding. Top Laundry has a wide variety of machines that can handle all sizes of comforters.
- Detergent: Check if the laundromat provides detergent or if you need to bring your own. Top Laundry has detergent on hand available for purchase.
- Drying: Ensure they have large dryers to accommodate your items. Top Laundry has large dryers that dry your bedding quickly and thoroughly.
Preparing Your Items:
- Check Labels: Always follow the care instructions on the labels of your comforter and bedding.
- Remove Debris: Shake out your comforter and bedding to remove any loose dirt or debris.
- Separate Colors: Wash light and dark colors separately.
Washing Your Comforter and Bedding:
- Load the Washer: Carefully load your comforter and bedding into the washer. Avoid overloading, as this can prevent the detergent from effectively cleaning your items.
- Add Detergent: Use the recommended amount of detergent for the size of your load. If the laundromat provides detergent, follow their instructions.
- Choose the Right Cycle: Select a gentle cycle with warm water. This will help remove dirt and allergens without damaging your bedding.
- Dry Thoroughly: Transfer your comforter and bedding to the dryer. Dry on a low heat setting to prevent shrinkage or damage. Ensure the items are completely dry before storing them.
