Let's talk bedding basics - because in Tampa's humidity, your comforter works harder than a snowbird trying to pronounce "Ybor City."
The Real Timeline
• Every 1-2 months for typical use
• Monthly if you have pets or allergies
• More frequently for bedtime snackers
• Immediately after illness
The Science Behind the Soil (Warning, this may keep you up at night)
Your comforter quietly collects:
• 8,000+ daily shed skin cells
• Up to 10 million dust mites
• Dead skin, sweat, oils
• Ambient debris (including that stubborn beach sand)
Home Washer Limitations
• Standard washers (3.5 cu ft) can't properly clean queen/king comforters
• Inadequate water circulation leads to soap residue
• Uneven agitation can create lumping
• Risk of tears from cramming
Why Professional Washing Beats Dry Cleaning
Dry Cleaning:
• Uses perchloroethylene ("perc") - classified as a probable carcinogen
• Can leave chemical residue
• May cause fabric deterioration over time
• Costs $40-60 per cleaning
LaundroLab Professional Washing Advantage:
• 450G large capacity commercial washing machines (like Superman for your comforter)
• Thorough cleaning and rinsing
• Sanitized drum for a clean & healthy wash every time.
• Gentle water-based process
• Large capacity prevents damage
• Professional-grade detergents
• $Fraction of the cost
Care Tips That Actually Work
• Use a top sheet (yes, really)
• Air out daily (evict those dust mites)
• Spot clean promptly
• Rotate seasonally
