Keeping your Doonas and Pillows Clean and Fresh
Doona Cleaning Service
If you or any of your family members suffer from allergies you would know how important it is to keep your house and particularly bedroom clean and dust free. Additionally, keeping those doonas and pillows clean and fresh is a good way of keeping dust mites away and any allergies at bay.
Often the challenge with cleaning your doonas and pillows is trying to get them cleaned effectively and hygienically. Further, what your doonas and pillows are made of will determine how they need to be cleaned. Always read the care labels to determine the correct cleaning method. Many of the Wool, Duck, Goose and down doonas need to be professionally dry or wet cleaned to minimise the chance of shrinkage or damage. Speak to your local dry cleaner for more advice on the best method to have your items cleaned. Another option is to try and clean these items yourself at home or at a local coin laundry. A couple of things to consider here are the size of your items as a Queen or King doona along with pillows typically don’t fit in a household 6kg or 7kg machine before you consider how they are going to dry in time for bed time. Your local launderette or dry cleaner should have the right commercial dry and wet cleaning machines to fit your doonas, pillows and even doona covers in the same load while having the ability to dry them in a reasonable time.
Advantages of regularly cleaning your often-expensive doonas and pillows include the manufacturers recommendation that you will increase the life of your bedding items by having them regularly cleaned. Further, having them regularly cleaned will reduce the chance for smell, bacteria, bed bugs, dust mites and fleas. Those households with pets should consider having these bedding items cleaned even more regularly as pets are known to carry dust mites and if not regularly treated fleas, which can make a nice home in your doonas, pillows or bedroom cushions.
