How to Wash a Doona in Canberra's Winter

When the Canberra cold sets in, your doona works overtime - and home washing machines just aren’t built for it. Stuffing a king doona into a domestic drum leaves detergent trapped, fibres clumped, and a load that never fully dries.

Why a laundromat is better for doonas

Our extra-large machines have the capacity to move a doona freely, rinse it properly, and dry it evenly so the filling stays light and lofty.

Quick tips

• Wash on a gentle, warm cycle - never boiling hot.
• Use a little less detergent than you’d think; too much is hard to rinse out.
• Dry fully before storing to avoid that damp, musty smell.

Pop into Belconnen Laundromat and use one of our large machines, or leave it with our team for a full wash-dry-fold. Come in cold. Leave warm.
