Washing duvets in Stuttgart-West

A normal household machine has no room for a duvet; the filling clumps and doesn't get properly clean. The big washing machine at the laundromat has enough space for water and detergent to reach everywhere. Pillows, mattress toppers and sleeping bags fit in as well.

1. Read the care label: most duvets can take 40 or 60 degrees.
2. Put the duvet in the XXL washing machine with 18 kg, alone or with the pillows.
3. Use little detergent; for down, a mild delicates detergent is best.
4. After the wash cycle, straight into one of the 8 dryers with 20 kg.

Start on medium heat, check after 20 to 30 minutes and add 10 minutes if needed. Two tennis balls in the drum fluff up the filling.
