Laundry; that seemingly never endless task! If you are like us, we are thankful to have a washer and dryer in our home that saves time when it comes to our day to day laundry needs. However, there are those times when we find ourselves needing to launder some really large items such as our comforters, blankets, and other large bedding. Speaking of bedding, how about Fido and the kitty? Their pet beds are also a hard to fit in the washer/dryer item.
Why Use a Raleigh Laundromat?
Fortunately there are many Self serve, coin Raleigh laundromats around. There are also many laundry services available such as, Laundry Express, that can help you with your larger laundry needs. Many of the self serve laundromats have super-sized front loading washers as well as double front load washers and high efficiency commercial sized dryers.
Wash Your Pet Beds!
Super sized front load machine are the perfect solution for any and all of your larger household items. Many will fit not only your comforters, including down comforters, but also draperies and curtains. Other items would include sleeping bags, bed spreads, curtains and YES even the dog or cat’s pet bed.
An added bonus you may not have even thought about is that your larger area rugs will usually fit nicely into these super sized machines. Some laundromats offer steam cleaning for the largest area rugs that will not fit into the supersized machines. This is an added bonus for an otherwise bulky heavy item.
Affordable
Pricing for these convenient options vary in price from $10.00 – $20.00 in most areas. Bringing your own detergent and fabric softener will help keep the pricing down. Here are some tip s to follow when planning a trip to the laundromat with your bulkier, larger items to ensure a good experience.
- Check to see when the “Off Time” is to be sure your selected laundromat is not crowed and machines are available.
- Make sure that you have the proper amount of coins needed. Most places also have a credit card slot for your convenience but check ahead to be sure.
- Most laundromats offer 80 Lb, 50 Lb, and standard 20 Lb. size machine.
- Try not to overload your machine to ensure your items are thoroughly cleaned.
- Take your own laundry detergent and fabric softener to save some money.
- Wash at the highest temperature you can safely use according to the manufacturers instructions.
- When drying your items follow the same manufacturers instructions but keep in mind that it may take longer to dry that you anticipate. If the items feels dry at first it may be simply due to the heat of the dryer. Later you may find after cooling that the item is still damp. It is a good idea to add an extra drying cycle unless you want to end up hanging it to dry at home later.
Overall the luxury of being able to launder these bigger items will be well worth the reasonable prices most laundromats have. A reputable, laundry keeps clean and functional machines and a bright cherry atmosphere for you to feel comfortable in. This will help you keep even your largest items as clean as you want for your peace of mind.
