Default Washing large bedding

I have a light weight blanket, heavier comforter and quilt I need to wash. Any suggestions on who/where to take it? Perhaps a dry cleaner will wash it? I do have an extra large capacity front loader but blankets are too big for them to handle. Thanks for the suggestions.

Go to laundromat. Dry cleaners are expensive. We paid $100 for a queen size comforter. I had told hubby we should try the laundromat and if ruined, then it wasn't worth paying more

I used to go to a laundromat with my king-sized comforters. The machines there have a larger capacity.

I take my king-size comforter to the Laundromat on Bichara, no far from Belks's. They have extra large washers there.

We take our king comforters, pillows, etc., to a laundromat in Wildwood on 301.

The Dry Cleaner in Colony used to be reasonable to clean a comforter. I called them and it is $34.94 for a king comforter (no pet stains or hair), and about $20 for a king size blanket. I think dry cleaning may make it not fade as fast as washing it, but that's my opinion.
