It starts with a sniffle. Maybe a little eye itch. Then before you know it, you're reaching for tissues like it’s your full-time job.
We usually blame the outdoors for allergy season—but the real culprits might be hiding in your bed. Comforters, blankets, and bedding collect dust, pollen, and pet dander faster than we realize. And washing them? That’s no small task.
At Erica’s Laundry, we’ve cleaned thousands of comforters and know one thing for sure: the longer you wait, the worse it gets. So this April, we’re sharing easy tips to help you breathe easier—without wrestling with oversized blankets or turning your Saturday into a laundry marathon.
🧺 Know What You’re Sleeping On
Your bed is a magnet for allergens.
Pillowcases and sheets get washed often, but comforters and throw blankets? Not so much. Over time, they trap allergens like dust mites, pet hair, and pollen—especially if windows are open in spring.
Tip: Wash your bedding every 1–2 weeks and bulky blankets or comforters at least once a season. If it doesn’t fit in your machine, let us take it off your hands.
🌬️ Don’t Let Pollen Linger
Spring breezes feel great—but open windows invite pollen in.
That pollen sticks to clothes, pets, and your bedding. Regular washing is one of the best ways to cut down your in-home exposure.
Tip: Use hot water (if your fabric allows) and a fragrance-free detergent to keep irritants at bay.
🧼 Skip the Struggle with Oversized Loads
Comforters don’t belong crammed into your washer.
Overloading can damage both your machine and your bedding—and it won’t get things fully clean. Erica’s Laundry has large-capacity washers and professional equipment built for the job.
Let us handle it, so you can skip the “will this even fit?” guessing game.
💨 Breathe Better, Sleep Better
Clean bedding doesn’t just look nice—it helps you rest easier.
If allergies have you tossing and turning, don’t underestimate the impact of a thorough laundry refresh. It’s one of the simplest ways to improve sleep quality during allergy season.
🌟 Fresh Air, Not Fresh Laundry Loads
What could you be doing instead of fighting your duvet cover into a washing machine? Here are a few ideas:
🧺 Heading to the farmers market, not the laundromat
🌷 Gardening without sneezing your way through it
📚 Reading on the couch wrapped in a fresh, clean blanket
☕ Enjoying coffee on a Saturday morning—not folding laundry
