DoonaWash Pty Ltd

Welcome to DoonaWash Pty Ltd, located at 14 Lorne Street in Lalor, Australia. We are an establishment that specializes in laundry services and are a point of interest in the area. At DoonaWash, we pride ourselves on providing gentle yet effective cleaning for a variety of items.

We understand that your doonas, wool underlays, and mattress toppers are important for a good night's sleep, which is why we wash them with shampoo and conditioner, just like hair. This method ensures a thorough and gentle cleaning process. Additionally, we offer a free wash for items such as blankets, weighted blankets, throw rugs, sleeping bags, and mattress protectors as part of our special deals.

We also cater to other items such as pillows, couch cushions, and yoga mats. However, please note that foam or latex pillows cannot be washed. Furthermore, we specialize in cleaning puffer jackets from well-known brands like Kathmandu, Macpac, and North Face. Our flexible and thin rugs can be conveniently folded to fit into our large commercial washing machines.

Soft toys are another area of expertise for us. We clean them with shampoo and conditioner, rinsing them three times with fresh water to remove all dirt and shampoo residue. To ensure their safety, we dry them at a low temperature of 54 degrees to avoid any heat burns. The drying process may take between 2 to 3 hours due to the thickness of the toys.

Doonas are cleaned twice, each time with fresh water and detergent. This is especially important as beds can harbor up to 8 million dust mites and their droppings, which can trigger allergies. Our double wash process is highly beneficial for deep cleaning and removing dirt, dust, sweat, sneeze, cough, human dander, dust mite allergens, and any spill residues that may have accumulated over months.

Researchers at The University of Manchester have discovered millions of fungal spores in pillows, with up to 16 fungal species present. To combat this, we use "Canesten Hygiene Laundry Rinse" and similar products specifically designed for anti-bacterial and anti-fungal treatment. This treatment eliminates 99.9% of germs. We highly recommend this low-cost and high-benefit treatment, especially for duvets or quilts that are usually washed only twice a year. It can be particularly helpful for individuals with asthma, wheezing, skin rashes, or eczema triggered by allergies.

To eliminate dust mites, dry doonas are dried above 60 degrees for 10 minutes, as per medical standards. We run dry doonas in our dryers on medium warmth (above 60 degrees) for at least 15 minutes. However, we avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage materials such as wool, down, feathers, silk, and Tencel. Our shampoo-based hygiene wash guarantees clean, soft, and hygienic doonas, although stubborn stains may require special attention. To tackle these stains, we soak doonas in shampoo-infused water at room temperature overnight for 10 hours, which helps loosen the stains. While most stains come out, some may become lighter.

If your doona is being cleaned with us, you can loan a fresh and clean "Sleepy Joey" feather/down queen doona until yours is ready. These loan doonas are the same ones supplied to 5-star hotels, ensuring the highest level of hygiene in the hospitality industry. To keep them secure from spills or stains, we request that loan doonas be inserted into your own doona cover. However, to make it economical, the maximum fee for loan doonas is $30, regardless of the quantity borrowed. The number of loan doonas cannot exceed the number of doonas given for cleaning.

For those with feather or wool doonas, we offer a royal treatment that mimics caring for human hair. Harsh detergents or dry-cleaning agents like Perc (Perchloroethylene) can cause shrinkage or wool felting. Our shampoo and conditioner/fabric softener wash ensures that your doona is thoroughly cleaned and softened without any fear of damage.

If you have any questions about the frequency of washing doonas or the suburbs included in our free pick-up and delivery service, please feel free to reach out to us. At DoonaWash Pty Ltd, we are committed to providing top-quality laundry services to ensure your items are clean, fresh, and hygienic.
