Pet & Heavy Duty

Pet bedding is tough on conventional home machines. It can overload motors, clog filters, and accumulate heaps of fur deep in the drums. Not to mention, home dryers often lack the airflow to fully remove stubborn hair.

At Lightning Laundromats

We've got purpose-built heavy-duty washers and industrial dryers made for cleaning pet beds, large duvets, and oily workwear.

• Our dedicated machines to keep pet hair separate from regular laundry.

• Extra-large capacity that can handle oversized pet items with ease.

• Industrial gas dryers:

  • Powerful airflow loosens trapped fur

  • Strong tumbling ensures separation

  • Industrial-grade lint traps capture the hair

Results? Fresh, fluffy items free from pet mess

• Dog beds and removable inserts (check care labels first)

• Pet blankets and throws—wool, fleece, and synthetics

• Car seat covers

• Horse rugs

• Heavily soiled workwear and gear

Look for machines labelled “Pet Bedding” or “Heavy Duty.” Please keep pet items out of standard clothing machines. 

• Shake off loose fur and dirt before washing

• Verify care tags to ensure machine compatibility

• Treat stains (like mud or accidents) ahead of time

• Avoid overloading—fabrics need space to tumble

• Dry thoroughly on high heat when the fabric allows
