How to Wash Comforters and Bedding at a Laundromat

By 108th Street Laundromat Team · November 5, 2026

Check the care label first

Most comforters list water temperature and drying instructions on the tag. Follow those first — down and specialty fabrics may need gentle settings.

Use a larger machine

Bedding needs room to move so it gets fully clean and rinsed. Laundromat machines are typically larger than home washers; ask our staff which size fits your item.

Dry thoroughly

Thick items take longer to dry. Check for damp spots in the middle before you fold, so bedding doesn't stay damp.

Skip the work

Prefer not to do it yourself? Drop it off for wash & fold, or ask about pickup and delivery in Forest Hills.

Frequently asked questions

How does wash and fold work?

You drop off your laundry, our team washes, dries and folds it, and you collect your finished order. Before leaving your bag, discuss care instructions, the current rate and the expected pickup time. You can also request return delivery in the local area; call (212) 528-6379 to confirm your address.

How long does wash and fold take?

Ask in store or call (212) 528-6379 for the turnaround time for your particular order. Timing can depend on the laundry, care requirements and current workload. Our 24-hour opening hours do not promise a specific wash & fold completion time. Confirm readiness before planning pickup or delivery.

Do you have large washers for comforters and blankets?

108th Street Laundromat offers large-load laundry options for bedding such as comforters and blankets. The right machine depends on the item's size, material and care label. Call (212) 528-6379 to confirm available machine sizes and suitability before bringing a bulky item. Check weighted-blanket suitability before washing.
