As today looked set to be a nice, dry day, I took the opportunity to strip the bed right down to the mattress.
In the past I have had to do the annual washing of the bedding over several days, but my new washing machine has a 20 minute quick wash for stuff that is not soiled, so I thought I could get it all over and done with in one day.
In my machine I had to wash in relays:
1. the duvet cover
2. both mattress toppers (one the original one, one the padded one I got when the springs of my old mattress started making themselves felt)
3. the memory foam mattress topper cover (which is still ever so slightly damp so not yet put back - I am not looking forward to this task!)
4. the fleecy underblanket
I took the duvet inside and the sleeping bag I have spread out under the fleecy underblanket* to the laundrette; the duvet overflowing the shopping trolley and the sleeping bag balanced on top.
We have fewer laundrettes than we used to. I am lucky, my nearest laundrette is round the corner - except it was closed! So I had to come back for an internet search to find the next nearest was in the High Road.
Then everything was put on the rotary dryer for the sun and breeze to work their magic.
I still have the coverlet to do, but very pleased to get this job almost done for this year.
* In winter I don't add anything on top of me, I add it all underneath me.
