Getting ready for winter, or an annual wash, we will help bust those bills with Ozone being complimentary for the remaining month of May 2023.

What is Ozone wash?

Monbulk’s Enviro Laundromat covers all your household washing needs with the Ozone system as an optional extra.

The Ozone system uses electricity and oxygen to produce the most powerful antiviral disinfectant available for laundry technology according to Enviro owner, Carl.

It is a powerful oxidant, destroying all viruses, bacteria, chemicals and pesticides, says Carl.

“Ozone is more powerful to disinfect than using a bleaching agent and is exceptional at eliminating odours. It provides the best of fabric care for delicate items and vibrant colours whilst greatly reducing the environmental impact with no chemical residue”

It meets the Australian Disinfection Protocol Standard AS4146/200.

“Ozone is a great consideration for all washes but especially for Doonas and those delicate items that can only be washed in cold water such as wool, you will get the same result from a bacterial point of view as if it were washed in hot water”

There is an additional charge of $2 when selecting the ‘Optional Ozone Wash’ but for the remaining month of May 2023 the Ozone selection will be complimentary! We want you to try it and encourage a healthy home, what a great opportunity to give you Doona a wash. Ozone is available in all washing machines. Simply select the Ozone wash and in the payment section and on the machine.

Put in code: OZONE – for the $2 discount to be credited for Ozone wash

This code will only work in the EFT payment tablet.

WHY WASH YOUR DOONA?

Most people are quite diligent when it comes to washing their sheets once a week and airing their mattress, but how often are you washing your Doona?

The humble Doona is a breeding ground for dust mites and bacteria, as well as collecting sweat and skin cells from us in our sleep. Considering we spend up to 35 per cent of our lives in bed, that’s a whole lot of organic matter.

A Doona that hasn’t been washed for a year is likely to be home to more than 20,000 dust mites.

There are a few schools of thought when it comes to how regularly you should be cleaning your Doona. The general consensus is that Doona’s should be washed every two to three months, or at least twice a year.

Synthetic fibre Doona’s should be washed in a large machine on a normal spin cycle at 60 degrees Celsius (This is the Hot setting on our Machines), or as high as the care label suggests.

Dry in the tumble dryer, or in direct sunlight outside.

Always Check the washing label on your Doona for is suggested clean some can only be dry cleaned.

Enviro’s machines offer an exceptional wash in a clean, safe setting. There are multiple Huebsch washing machines ranging from 9Kg through to 27Kg meaning customers can take care of a week’s washing in 25 minutes.

Costs

9Kg or 2 basket capacity – $6

18Kg or 4 basket capacity – $12 (use this machine for Queen or Double Doonas)

27Kg or 6 basket capacity – $15 (use this machine for Super King Doonas or 2 Singles)

Ample 14Kg and 20Kg dryers. A typical load of clothing in the dryer will take between 30-35 mins to dry. A typical Doona will take between 40-60 mins to dry.

14Kg dryers are $1 for 7 mins

20Kg dryers are $1 for 5 minutes

Typical Wash and Dry for a Queen Doona is a Total of $22

We recommend drying your doona, it’s always your choice to hang out or tumble dry but only a tumble dryer will bring back its body shape.

We don’t restrict customers from drying only, we welcome all wash or dry or just dry.

“We don’t allow our machines to be used for pet bedding or horse rugs, and we ask all customers to respect this, it’s a health regulation and no one wants to wash their clothes after a pet bed has been in a machine. Our machines are only for your household items, Clothing, Bedding, Curtains, Throw rugs all the way through to accommodating commercial users such as B&B’s and commercial hotels”

Carl says Enviro Laundromat is committed to a light environmental footprint thanks to economical machines, Ozone, Low water use, Natural Gas hot water and Dryers, LED lighting, biodegradable soap and Solar all help contribute, our timber seating and benches were also repurposed/recycled from a Hotel that was being refurbished.
