They are also used, even by those who have their own machines, for large bedding and other items that normal house washers cannot fit. Some [[United Kingdom|UK]] households have bedding (such as [[Duvet|duvets]] and comforters) that are much too big to fit inside of home washing machines, and UK households may not have dryers, making laundromats the only way available for cleaning them or drying them. ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Business]] {{stub}}
