Fresh Feathers: Pillow Cleaning Service Coming to Goodhue

Posted

Loved your feather pillow but it shed its filling all over the room so you banished it to a garbage bag in the bottom of your closet? Maybe you have a foam pillow whose stuffing is stuck in a wad? Is your polyester pillow still comfortable but the covering has seen better days? It’s time to send them all to pillow rehab! Fortunately, Carlson Pillow Cleaning Service is coming to town and can revive, re-fluff and give your pillows the spa treatment they deserve.

The mobile service unit will be at the Goodhue Depot parking lot on North Broadway Tuesday September 9th from 6 pm to 8 pm and Wednesday September 10 from 7 am to 3 pm.

Carlson Pillow Cleaning Service is again coming to Goodhue thanks to the effort of Deb Gnotke. Carlson started coming to Goodhue over 20 years ago after a local woman asked Deb to look into a pillow cleaning service. The biannual event has been used as a fundraiser for the MS Society, supporting research for-and people with-Multiple Sclerosis like Deb’s husband, Dave who has lived with the disease for more than 50 years.

Working out of a mobile trailer, a machine cleans, disinfects and deodorizes pillows using germ-killing, ozone emitting ultra-violet light. Tumbling brushes rotate and fluff feathers without removing any of their oil, extending the life of the fill. The tumbling removes dust and chaff and the feathers are then transferred into a new material covering of your choice. More feathers and goose down can be added if desired. The process is completed in a short time and pillows returned to you the same day. Crushed foam pillows can also be cleaned and polyester pillows can be recovered. Carlson also sells new pillows of various sizes and feather and down composition. He will work with other down items such as comforters but that is not same-day service. The mobile unit will be clearly marked while parked at The Depot lot.
