Washing your dog blanket: how to keep your dog accessories hygienic and long-lasting
Washing dog blankets: The right approach
When washing a dog blanket, the most important factors are the material and the temperature.
Important:
- Wash at a maximum of 30°C on a gentle cycle
- Use a mild detergent
- Do not use fabric softener
- Air dry whenever possible
High temperatures or aggressive detergents can damage fibers and affect the shape. Gentle cleaning helps keep the blanket soft and comfortable.
Washing fabric covers of dog beds
Removable fabric covers of dog beds and dog cushions should also be cleaned at 30°C on a gentle cycle. It is important to remove the filling before washing. This helps maintain the shape of the padding and ensures proper pressure distribution.
The following also applies:
- Use a mild detergent
- Prefer air drying
- Wash with the lowest possible spin speed
Cleaning faux leather dog beds and car beds correctly
Dog beds for the car or at home made of faux leather should not be placed in the washing machine. They can simply be cleaned with a damp cloth. For more intensive care, we recommend the Healthy Clean & Care cleaning and care set. This keeps the material supple and long-lasting.
Cleaning autopads: Maintaining protection and comfort in the car
If you have chosen an autopad for your car bed or car seat, you have selected a particularly hygienic solution. The autopad reliably protects the lying surface from dirt, moisture, hair, and pollen and can be cleaned easily.
Instead of cleaning the entire car bed, it is usually enough to clean the autopad. Autopads with removable fabric covers can be washed at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Please use a mild detergent, avoid fabric softener, and allow the pad to air dry afterward to protect its shape and material.
Care between washes
Not every dog accessory needs to go into the washing machine immediately. Small measures help extend washing intervals:
- Regularly vacuum off hair
- Shake out outdoors
- Wipe surfaces with a damp cloth
- Make sure your dog is as dry as possible before getting into the bed
Cleaning and caring for Neofit leash & harness
Leashes and harnesses are exposed to wind and weather every day. For cleaning the Neofit harness and the Neofit leash, the following applies:
- Wipe light dirt off with a damp cloth
- For heavier dirt, wash by hand using lukewarm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse thoroughly
- Allow to air dry
Please do not place in the dryer and avoid aggressive cleaning agents. This helps preserve material quality, fit, and functionality over time.
Caring for the Luis leather leash & collar properly
The Luis leather leash and the matching collar are made from high-quality leather, a natural material that becomes especially durable with the right care. Important to know: leather should not be placed in the washing machine.
For cleaning:
- Wipe with a slightly damp cloth
- Use special leather care products if needed
- After contact with rain or moisture, allow to dry slowly in the air
Direct heat sources such as radiators should be avoided, as they can dry out the leather.
Taking conscious care of dog accessories
Whether washing dog blankets, cleaning dog beds, or caring for leashes and collars, proper handling keeps materials durable and functional. Regular care not only protects the products but also ensures more hygiene and comfort in everyday life.
