Some household items that need washing are just too big to fit into a domestic washing machine.

Let’s just stuff that large item in the washing machine

It’s true. You can try to shoehorn that king size duvet into the washing machine drum but even if you did manage to fit it in, washing it could damage your machine.

The simple fact is, the washing machines in most homes were never designed to hold large household items such as bedding and heavy linens. A lot of the modern computerised machines .throw up an error if the load is too much or unevenly spaced.

Although your original idea might have been to save a few pennies, the end result may be an expensive quilt that end up damaged and an even more expensive machine that gives up the ghost and turns your kitchen into a swimming pool!

Stress not

Churchill Dry Cleaners can clean and refresh all of your oversized household items such as bedding, sofa throws, comforters and sheets to name but a few.

You can drop your items to us and use one of our free parking spaces or you can schedule a pickup.

Your household items will be cleaned at the optimal temperature in our commercial machines. Premium detergents and fabric softeners will be used to ensure that your items come back to you clean, fresh and free from any allergens.

Take back control of your free time

Let Churchill Dry Cleaners handle your washing mountain with a smile leaving you to get on with more important things.

I think we can all agree, there aren’t too many things worse than washing and folding laundry. Why put yourself through this routine every week. In about 4 minutes, 2 to drop off using our free parking spaces and 2 to pick up, you will have the cleanest, freshest, and neatly folded laundry in town ready to be put away. Let Churchill Dry Cleaners turn your guest room, bed, sofa, or floor back into what it was intended to be.

We separate your whites from your darker items. Each are washed and dried separately (never with anyone else’s laundry). Fabric softener is used in all washes leaving all of your garments smelling fresh and new as the day you purchased them. After washing, drying and folding according to your preferences, we neatly package and bag your clothes ready for collection or drop off.

By far the most popular item for laundry is the dress shirt.

While many of today’s dress shirts can be washed in the normal laundry, having a professional cleaner take care of cleaning and pressing your dress shirts is a better way to extend the life of this significant investment in your wardrobe. Dress shirts worn on a regular basis experience issues including colour loss, rings-around-the-collar, and fabric abrasion that results in holes, punctures and tears. Having your shirts professionally laundered by Churchill Dry Cleaners ensures they receive the best quality care and attention to detail that can improve the wear life of your dress shirts. To extend the life of your quality dress shirts further, it’s a good idea to understand what makes them different from other items of clothing.

Professional laundering increases the lifespan of dress shirts

Most dress shirts have an average wear life of 35-50 washings according to industry experience. That lifespan varies depending on factors such as strain, fibre content, abrasion and laundering procedure. Your high quality work shirts endure daily trials similar to other shirts, but require special attention for proper care.

Launder your clothing if it gets sweaty to avoid damage

Sweat marks on shirts can eventually transform into stains if the sweat remains on the garment too long. Sweat and antiperspirants weaken the fabric, which makes it prone to damage such as tears and holes in the underarms of the shirts during normal laundering. To help minimise sweat damage, allow deodorants and antiperspirants time to dry before you put on the shirt and wash the shirt promptly after you wear it.

Reduce the likelihood of pinholes by having your shirts professionally laundered

Due to the weaving process of Oxford cloth, pinholes are a common problem in these types of shirts. The unique construction of Oxford shirts causes tiny, random holes to appear throughout the garment, which means they require delicate care and cleaning. Oxford shirts made of a cotton and polyester blend and those with heavier yard are less susceptible to pinholes, but any Oxford weave can suffer from pinholes during normal wear and washing.

Professional shirt laundering to preserve collars and cuffs

When the fabric used for interfacing in the collar, cuffs and placket fronts of your shirt wasn’t preshrunk correctly or didn’t fuse properly during creation, the outer fabric becomes larger than the interfacing after washing. This difference in size results in wrinkles or puckers when the shirt is pressed. The excess material from incorrect assembly means that it’s challenging and sometimes impossible to achieve a smooth finish and it’s best to return the shirt to the place of purchase.

Advantages of professional shirt laundering

The better care you take of your high-quality shirts, the longer they’ll last. Professional shirt laundering takes the guesswork out of proper cleaning and pressing. Premium shirt laundering services from Churchill Dry Cleaners includes washing your shirts at the optimal temperature with natural oxidisers and biodegradable detergents that provide optimum brightness, renewed freshness, and maximum cleanliness. Collars and cuffs come out cleaner as we pre-treat stains and after cleaning, every part of the shirt lays properly. Your shirts will last longer because our ideal washing temperature helps prevent damage and shrinkage.

With our expert pressing and packaging services, your shirts always have a finished, crisp appearance.
