10 Common Household Items People Forget to Wash (And How Soapbox Global Laundry Can Help)

Introduction: More Than Just Clothes

Laundry isn’t just about washing shirts and jeans. Many of us overlook everyday items that quietly collect dirt, bacteria, and allergens. At Soapbox Global Laundry in Grove City, OH, we know life gets busy—so we’re here to remind you of the things people often forget to clean, and how our wash, dry, and fold or pickup & delivery services make it easier.


1. Comforters & Duvets

Most home machines are too small to wash bulky bedding properly. Our high-capacity Dexter washers make it simple to refresh comforters, duvets, and blankets.

2. Pillows & Pillowcases

Pillows can trap dust mites, sweat, and allergens. They should be washed every few months—not just the pillowcases.

3. Reusable Grocery Bags

Cloth and reusable bags pick up bacteria from produce and packaging. A quick wash keeps them fresh and safe.

4. Shower Curtains & Liners

Mildew builds up fast. Throw your fabric or plastic liners in our large washers to keep them spotless.

5. Couch Covers & Throw Blankets

These cozy essentials absorb sweat, food crumbs, and pet hair. Freshen them up with our wash & fold service.

6. Rugs & Doormats

Your entry mats and small rugs are dirt magnets. Our machines handle oversized loads to make cleaning them easy.

7. Pet Beds & Blankets

Fur, dander, and odors collect quickly in pet bedding. We wash them with pet-safe detergents so your furry friends stay comfy.

8. Stuffed Animals & Plush Toys

Kids’ favorite plushies need love too! Regular cleaning keeps them soft and allergen-free.

9. Winter Coats & Jackets

Bulky items like coats often go months without a wash. Our machines handle them with care so they stay fresh for the next season.

10. Curtains & Drapes

Dust and pollen build up over time. A deep clean restores freshness and improves indoor air quality.
