How to clean your pet’s bedding 1.Vacuum up the pet hair ‘Firstly you’ll want to remove all the pet hair from your pet’s bed or blanket,’ explains Deyan. You can do this either with a lint roller. If there is a lot of hair on the bed try using a vacuum.

Put all the bedding and blankets in the washing machine ‘Put all your pets bedding and blankets in the washing machine and wash separately from any other laundry on a cold wash,’ advises Deyan. However, be sure to use pet-safe laundry detergent and add in some pet hair dissolver to get rid of any leftover hairs. Image credit: Carolyn Barber 4. Leave it to try naturally ‘Drying the bedding in the sun is not only more eco-friendly, but the ultra-violet rays are superb at getting rid of any leftover odours,’ explains Deyan. However, in the UK a sunny day is not always on hand. In that case, you can dry the pet bedding in a tumble dryer too. 4.Clean your pet bedding once a week That’s right, you should be cleaning your pets bedding as frequently as you clean your own. Give the bed a good vacuum in between cleans to keep hair from building up. ‘You can also wipe down your pets beds with a few sprays of pet bed cleaner in between washes to keep things fresh and clean.’ Related: Attention pet owners!
