How to Wash Heavy Blankets Without Damaging the Machine
We all love our cozy, heavy blankets—until it’s time to clean them. Washing these bulky items at home can be a challenge, especially if your machine isn’t built for the load. Overloading a standard washer can cause damage to both the machine and the blanket itself. But don’t worry! At mClean Laundry, we’ve got the perfect solution with our state-of-the-art self-service laundromat in Flat Rock and Rockwood, Michigan. Our high-capacity Speed Queen machines make washing heavy blankets easy, effective, and stress-free!
Why Use a Self-Service Laundromat for Heavy Blankets?
Many home washers simply aren’t designed to handle the weight and bulk of a thick comforter or weighted blanket. Using our self-service laundry machines offers several benefits:
- High-Capacity Washers: Our Speed Queen machines are built to handle large loads, ensuring a thorough clean without straining the machine.
- Faster Drying: Our powerful dryers help prevent damp spots and musty odors.
- Even Cleaning: Large commercial washers allow blankets to move freely, ensuring even detergent distribution and a deep clean.
Step-by-Step Guide to Washing Heavy Blankets
- Check the care label: Always read the instructions on your blanket to ensure you’re using the right water temperature and detergent.
- Pre-treat stains: Spot clean any visible stains before washing for best results.
- Use the right machine: At mClean Laundry, our larger washers are perfect for bulky blankets. Select a machine that allows enough space for movement.
- Choose the right detergent: A mild, high-efficiency detergent works best—avoid excessive soap to prevent residue buildup.
- Select the proper settings: Warm or cold water with a gentle cycle is ideal for most heavy blankets. If in doubt, ask one of our friendly staff members!
- Dry properly: Use a large-capacity dryer at a low heat setting to prevent damage. Toss in a few dryer balls to fluff and speed up drying.
