To wash bulky items such as blankets and curtains properly, you need to have a lot of space. A smaller washing machine, such as a top-loader with a central motor agitator, may give bulky items a poor clean. To wash a single-sized blanket, a washing machine that can hold at least 6 kg is a good enough. For doubles, 7 kg is required. For queen and king size blankets, 8 kg and 9 kg capacity washers are needed respectively. Also keep in mind that if you wish to wash bulkier items, make sure to use a washer with a bedding cycle. This will give your items the best treatment.
