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
