Is your washing machine struggling with your winter quilt? Stop trying to jam bulky bedding into a small home washer. At Liquid Laundromats Australia, our commercial-grade machines are built to handle your biggest laundry challenges – fast, affordable, and easy.
Doona, Pillow & Large Item Washing
King Size Doona Washing
Don’t wrestle with your washing machine. Wash your King Size Doona, Mink Blankets, and Curtains in under an hour.
Why Wash Your Doonas & Quilts with Us?
Home washing machines typically hold 7-10 kg. A wet king-size doona can weigh nearly double that, leading to unbalanced spin cycles, poor cleaning, or even machine damage.
Our laundromats offer super-sized 18 kg and 28 kg washers designed specifically for bulky items, including:
- King and queen doonas/duvets (feather, down, wool, or synthetic)
- Heavy mink blankets and weighted blankets
- Curtains and drapes
- Mattress protectors and toppers
- Large rugs and sleeping bags
The Liquid Difference
- Super Fast: High G-force spin cycles extract more water, reducing drying time.
- Hygienic: Machines run hot wash cycles (up to 65 °C) to kill dust mites and allergens, ideal for seasonal deep cleans.
- Eco-Friendly: Larger loads use less water and energy per kg of laundry.
How It Works: Wash a King-Size Doona in 3 Steps
1. Choose the Right Machine Select our 18 kg or 28 kg Mega Washers. Avoid smaller machines.
Tip: Your item should fill the drum loosely but not be packed tight. It needs room to tumble for effective cleaning.
2. Select Your Cycle
- Synthetic/Cotton Doonas: Choose the Warm or Hot cycle for a thorough clean.
- Feather/Down/Wool: Always check the care label first. Use the Gentle/Delicate Cold cycle to avoid shrinkage or clumping.
3. Dry It Right Transfer to one of our large commercial dryers.
Pro Tip: Add 2 clean tennis balls (or dryer balls) to the dryer with your doona. This helps fluff the filling and prevents damp clumps.
Note: Ensure down doonas are completely dry before removing them to avoid mildew.
FAQs?
Can I wash a feather or down doona?
+Yes, but you must be careful. Use our 18kg washers on a Gentle/Cold cycle. Heat can damage natural fibers. When drying, use a low heat setting and check it frequently. The “tennis ball trick” is essential here to restore loft
Can I wash pet blankets?
+Yes! Many of our locations have dedicated Animal & Pet Blanket Washers. Please look for the machine specifically marked for pet use to keep our standard machines hair-free for other customers.
Are heavy blankets and throws safe to wash in your machines?
+Absolutely. Our machines are built for bulky textiles like mink blankets, wool throws, and weighted blankets. They spin out excess water efficiently, reducing drying time.
Can I bring pet blankets or rugs?
+Yes, you can. Our washers handle pet bedding and rugs with ease, removing fur, odours, and dirt. This keeps your home machine free from pet mess.
How long does it take?
+A standard wash cycle takes about 25–30 minutes. Drying a large heavy doona usually takes 30–45 minutes depending on the material. You can be in and out with a fresh, dry quilt in just over an hour.
Why shouldn’t I wash bulky items at home?
+Home machines often lack the drum size and power for heavy bedding. Washing doonas or rugs at home can:
- Damage your appliance
- Leave items damp inside (risking mould)
- Cause uneven cleaning or detergent residue
Liquid Laundromats’ specialised equipment avoids these problems.
