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'

      Il Mirto - Closed down?

      By jimbo1964 · Posted

      That is sad. I didn't go much but it was interesting. The pizzas were really nice. Hopefully it's not just a chicken shop for the after school market.

      Decision 2 April - Proposed Development - The Sidings, Railway Rise, SE22

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      There's an 8 storey building about 200 yards NW of the site in question! It's so unremarkable that apparently many of the objectors don't even know it exists.   1) you're objecting to the economic analysis on the basis of "having a student"? That's hardly an evidence-based position. 2) 50-100 vehicles per day for move-in and move-out weekends, not every weekend, then?  3) It is a bit disappointing that you are disregarding the fairly obvious substantive difference between students enrolled in universities and pupils enrolled in local schools. Adults travel from all over England, the UK and the world to study at university in London. Parents of pupils at state schools try to send them to study as close to home as possible. Equally, you are ignoring that the student accommodation sector doesn't have enough capacity to house all students anyway. That is why many students live in share houses, whic increases competition with "regular" non-students who also want to rent those houses. Further, it's disappointing that you have decided students' accommodation needs are somehow not a valid consideration for you. They are also members of society - although perhaps they don't vote as much in local elections as houseowners do. Finally, you are again contradicting your own position that more student accommodation is unnecessary when you point out how expensive it is! That indicates an undersupply, and is a good reason to allow private companies to build more - it depresses the market price and makes it incrementally more accessible to lower income students.   Does it not strike you as odd that are simultaneously suggesting that only rich foreign students will live in the student accommodation BUT also that there aren't enough local students to fill it up and students don't have any money to spend in the local economy anyway?

      can old cd's and cases go in the recycling bin?

      By Sue · Posted

      You can also use the CDs on a string as bird scarers on a vegetable patch or allotment! Loads of other ideas online, eg: https://www.momsandcrafters.com/things-to-do-with-cds/ It seems a waste (literally)  for them just to go into landfill. If I didn't already have a house full of things to do, I would take them off your hands! Maybe kids at  a nursery or primary school might be able to do something with them?

      I'm in East Dulwich and heard them in the distance and also wondered what they were celebrating.
