How to make a dog bed washable and fresh?

A clean and fresh dog cushion is essential for your dog's well-being and for the hygiene of your home. Dogs spend a lot of time on their cushion or bed, and it's inevitable that it will collect dirt, hair, and odors. Regularly cleaning a sturdy dog bed or an orthopedic dog cushion helps maintain a healthy and comfortable environment. In this guide, we explain how to properly wash a washable dog cushion – and how the Dreamydog washable dog bed makes this even easier.

Step 1: Read the label

Before you start washing, always check the label. Some cushions are fully machine washable, while others only have a removable cover that you can clean. This prevents accidental damage to the filling.

Step 2: Remove loose hair and dirt

Vacuum or use a lint roller to remove as much loose hair and dirt as possible. This prevents blockages in your washing machine and ensures a cleaner result.

Step 3: Wash the cover

Most quality dog cushions, including the DreamyDog sturdy dog bed, have a removable cover.

Preparation: Unzip the cover, remove the inner cushion, and shake out the cover thoroughly.
Washing machine: Place the cover in the washing machine with a mild, pet-friendly detergent.
Drying process: Air dry the cover or use a low temperature in the dryer to keep the fabric looking good.

Step 4: Wash the inner cushion

Not all inner cushions are suitable for the washing machine. Always check the label. If it is, use a gentle wash cycle and rinse thoroughly to remove soap residue. For hand washing: use warm water and a mild detergent, rinse well, and air dry completely.

Additional benefit: Dreamydog washable dog bed at 30 degrees

At Dreamydog, we understand that convenience and hygiene are paramount. That's why every Dreamydog washable dog bed can be washed at 30 degrees in the washing machine. This applies to both the covers and the orthopedic inner cushions, which are protected with an extra layer. This way, your luxurious and sturdy dog bed always stays fresh, even with dogs that shed a lot or often play outside. The fabrics retain their quality and appearance, even after multiple washes – ideal for owners who value both convenience and design.

Step 5: Regular maintenance

Vacuum the cushion weekly and, if necessary, use a pet-friendly odor remover. This will keep the bed fresh between washes.

Additional tips

• Use a fitted sheet: This catches dirt and hair and is quick to wash.
• Protect the cushion: With a water-repellent cover, the bed will last longer.
• Replace on time: Even the best cushions wear out over time. At DreamyDog, you'll always find a new, orthopedic dog cushion that combines style and comfort.
