Large Laundry Machines for Bulky Items

Stone Drive Coin Laundry Blog

Washing comforters, rugs, and other large items at home can be challenging — especially if your washing machine isn’t built for oversized loads. At Stone Drive Coin Laundry, we offer high-capacity washers and dryers designed to make bulky laundry simple, effective, and stress-free.

Whether you’re doing spring cleaning or just freshening up your space, here’s a helpful guide on how to wash bulky items like comforters and rugs the right way.

Washing Comforters, Duvets, and Large Blankets

1. Use the Right Size Washer: Overloading a home washer can damage the machine or leave your comforter poorly cleaned. Our commercial-grade washers give your bulky bedding room to move freely, ensuring a deep and even clean.

2. Check the Care Label: Before washing, read the care instructions on the tag. Some comforters require cold water or gentle cycles—especially those filled with down or feathers. Following these instructions helps protect your items from damage or shrinkage.

3. Dry Thoroughly: A comforter that isn’t fully dried can develop musty odors or mildew. Our extra-large dryers at Stone Drive Coin Laundry ensure your items dry quickly and evenly. For best results, use a low-to-medium heat setting and add dryer balls or clean tennis balls to help maintain the comforter’s loft.

Cleaning Rugs, Bath Mats, and Runners

1. Shake Out Dust and Debris First: Before tossing rugs into the washer, shake them out or vacuum thoroughly to remove loose dirt, sand, and hair. This helps prevent machine clogs and ensures a more effective wash.

2. Choose a Gentle Wash Cycle: Most rugs can be washed in cold or warm water with a mild detergent. Be cautious with rugs that have rubber backings—these should never be dried on high heat, as the backing can crack or melt.

3. Dry with Care: Some rugs are best air-dried, especially those with delicate fibers or non-slip backings. If using a dryer, opt for a low heat setting and check periodically to avoid damage.
