Large dog beds washed in a proper capacity machine and dried thoroughly. Fresh, clean bedding without clogging up your washing machine with dog hair.
### When Your Dog Bed's Too Big For Your Machine
Ever tried cramming a huge dog bed into your washing machine? **It doesn't work**. Even if you force it in, it doesn't get clean because it can't move properly. And the dog hair clogs everything up.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Dog beds should be washed every 2-3 months minimum. More often in summer or if your dog has skin issues. Clean bedding = healthier, happier dog.

### Why Bother Getting It Done Properly?
Your dog spends hours every day on their bed. If it's dirty, they're lying in bacteria, mites, and their own shed skin cells. **Not pleasant for anyone**.
| ✅ Done Properly | ❌ Half-Hearted Attempt | |-----------------|-------------------------| | Washed in large capacity machine | Crammed into home machine | | Properly dried throughout | Still damp in the middle | | Smells genuinely fresh | Smells like wet dog | | Your machine stays clean | Dog hair clogs your filter |

Good to Know
> 🐕 **Multiple dogs?** If you've got several beds to wash, doing them all together saves you money. I'm already coming out, so additional beds are cheaper. **Timing:** Best done when weather's decent in case air drying is needed as backup. Winter months can take a bit longer to dry fully. **Covers vs whole beds:** If your bed has removable covers, just washing the covers is easier and cheaper. But the inner cushion needs doing occasionally too. **Dog hair explosion:** Fair warning - there will be dog hair everywhere when I first shake it out. That's normal. It all goes in the machine though, so your home stays clean. **Alternative bedding:** While the bed's being washed, pile up some old towels or blankets for your dog. They won't mind for a day.
Frequently Asked Questions about Dog bed washing in Dawlish
Why not just wash it at home?
Large dog beds don't fit in standard washing machines - you either can't fit them in, or they don't get properly clean because they're too cramped. Plus all that dog hair clogs your machine. I use a large capacity machine that actually gets them clean.
How do you get rid of the smell?
Proper wash cycle with pet-safe detergent, followed by a thorough dry. The smell comes from bacteria in damp bedding, so getting it properly dry is just as important as washing it. Your dog's bed will come back fresh, not just damp and 'washed'.
Can you wash any type of dog bed?
Most washable beds, yes. Memory foam beds, standard cushions, covers - as long as the label says machine washable. If it's a 'dry clean only' or has electronics (heated beds), that's a different story. Check the label or ask when booking.
Do I need to drop it off somewhere?
I can collect and return it within Dawlish and surrounding areas - that's included. You don't need to go anywhere. Or if you prefer to drop off, that works too.
How long does it take to get my dog bed back?
Usually same day or next day depending on when I collect it. I'll wash and dry it properly, then bring it back. If your dog needs bedding in the meantime, chuck down some old towels or blankets temporarily.
