As the crisp air of May settles in, it’s the perfect time to refresh your winter bedding and create a cosy haven at home. Whether you’re pulling out thick flannel sheets, fluffy doonas or wool blankets, giving your linen a proper clean before use can make a big difference. At Speed-e Laundromat, we make that switch simple and stress-free.
Why It Matters
Storing bedding over summer can lead to a build-up of dust, allergens and odours. Giving your winter linens a good wash before using them again ensures freshness, hygiene, and a healthier sleep space — especially important for those with sensitive skin or allergies.
Did you know? Most people only wash their doona once a year — but experts recommend every three months during winter!
Washing Tips for Winter Comfort
Every fabric deserves the right care:
- Linen Sheets – Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve fibres and reduce wrinkling.
- Flannel & Cotton – Warm water helps lift body oils and keeps the fabric soft and durable.
- Wool & Delicates – Use a wool or delicate cycle with a mild detergent to keep them plush.
Pro tip: Avoid fabric softener with natural fibres — it can affect their breathability and absorbency.
Drying Made Easy
Drying winter linens at home can be a real challenge, especially on cloudy or rainy days. Here’s how to stay ahead:
- Air Drying – Try the three-hanger method to maximise space and airflow.
- Tumble Drying – Use low heat and pop in wool dryer balls to keep things fluffy and reduce drying time.
Queensland winters might be milder, but damp days still make drying a chore – Speed-e has you covered with industrial-grade dryers that handle it all, fast.
Smart Storage for Summer Linens
Don’t just shove your summer sheets into the back of the cupboard! Keep them fresh for next season with these tips:
- Always wash and dry before storing
- Choose breathable cotton bags over plastic tubs
- Add natural fresheners like lavender or cedar to keep pests (and musty smells) away
Quick Tips for Cosy Bedding All Winter
- Wash your doona every 3 months
- Add tennis balls or wool dryer balls when tumble drying quilts
- Use colour-safe bleach for white bedding to brighten dull fabrics
- Store with scented sachets to keep everything smelling fresh
