How to Clean Your Pet’s Bed
Pets spend hours every day on their beds. Over time, fur, dirt, and bacteria build up, which can lead to bad odors and even health issues. Cleaning your pet’s bed regularly keeps them comfortable and safe.
1. Regular Washing: Keep It Fresh
-
Wash removable covers every 1–2 weeks with pet-safe detergent.
-
Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals—they can irritate your pet’s skin.
-
For beds without covers, vacuum to remove fur, then use a fabric cleaner or steamer.
2. Deep Cleaning: Remove Hidden Germs
-
Soak the bed in warm water with mild detergent for 20–30 minutes.
-
Rinse thoroughly to prevent soap residue, which can cause itching.
-
Dry in sunlight whenever possible—UV rays kill bacteria and freshen fabrics.
-
For quick drying, use a dryer on low heat with dryer balls to fluff the bed.
3. Between-Wash Care: Odor and Dirt Control
-
Shake the bed daily to remove dirt and hair.
-
Place a washable blanket or towel on top to reduce buildup.
-
Sprinkle baking soda once a week to absorb odors naturally.
-
Keep your pet groomed to reduce shedding and dander.
