Here is a handy tip for those of you with furry friends. Your animal companion’s bed may look cozy and clean, but over time it can become a magnet for fur, dirt, and other unwanted buildup such as dust mites, pollen, and dander. Additionally, fleas, ticks, and mites can hide and flourish in bedding and any of these may trigger allergies in both animal-folk and humans. Therefore, regular washing can help reduce these pests while preventing lingering pet-people odors from building up and spreading throughout your home. When shopping for a new bed, look for features that make regular washing and maintenance simple, like removable covers, which can be taken off and washed separately. Search for beds made with fabrics and filling that can safely be washed and dried in your machine. Use a waterproof liner, or a waterproof layer between the cover and the filling to protect the inside of the bed from accidents, drool, moisture, and muddy paws. Finally, routinely wash your animal friend’s bedding.
