I tried a service wash in Brockley and it was not good at all so then tried an online one following Jules-and-Boo's suggestion (thankyou).  I tried Love2Laundry.  It was more expensive than a local service wash but the duvets came back clean. So I will use again.  They collect and drop off.

Local dry cleaners may be able to help as well.

Local dry cleaners just use local launderettes, and up the price.

Or at least that's what used to happen at the dry cleaners near the Post Office, according to a launderette.

You used to see the duvets piled up in their window. If they still do this, they must hide them somewhere!

You can't dry clean duvets.

Sounds a good idea - how long did they take to do? When we used Wash and Dry in LL took in morning and  collected late afternoon.

well I've had mine dry cleaned

Maybe the process used has changed then. Or maybe it depends on the filling.

But you certainly didn't used to be able (sorry for bad grammar) to have them dry cleaned, because of the chemicals used.

And dry cleaners did certainly used to (bad grammar again) take them in for cleaning and then just send them to a local launderette.

Without letting on to their customers, obviously!

the launderette on Bellenden Road is pretty good - and a cleaner and less frantic experience than Wash and Dry on LL ever was. But I gather that it's also due to close - the owner is waiting for the buyer to get funds together..

That’s a shame. Do you know what the premises will become?

I’m quite sure the dry cleaner near the Post Office took the duvets to the launderette on LL/corner of Pellatt Road.  One of the women who worked there told me.

Yes, that's the dry cleaner I was thinking of. 

Though I believe they used to take them to the launderette in Lordship Lane on the same side as them, towards what is now the Picture House.

That closed down a long time ago, so possibly after that they used the one at the end of Pellatt Road.

They used to have piles of duvets in their window for all to see (the dry cleaners, not the launderette!)

All gentrified now 😂

Which one was this, just so I know where to avoid?!?

We always have our duvets dry cleaned at the Dry cleaners in Forest Hill (Dartmouth road next door to Bunka)

been doing so for years and they never have a chemical smell and come back spotlessly clean.

In fact he dry cleans all our clothes and they never smell 'chemical'

    • I remember halfpennies. Farthings had gone by my time. 2/6 (half a crown) that looked very similar to 2s.

    • "They sold everyone, directly or indirectly, on the notion that Covid, the energy crisis and the war in Ukraine had nothing to do with the sorry state of the UK and that it was 14 years of Tory rule and Truss' nightmare budget that was the source of all the country's woes. " This simply isn't true. Global issues all play their own parts (as they do with other countries) but the UK govt had  been especially abject for years. Improvements could not be made with them in power. That's not to say everything is all roses when they go To claim parties shouldn't try and sell themselves in an election is absurd - but if labour did overpromise or dig into specifics (which they partly couldn't because they didn't have their hands on the books) then we live in a country where a population and media is happy to punch on them and relect the shabby last govt I mean if any argument I made was supported by some posters I would rethink it but thats just me
