Large pet blankets, dog beds, and horse rugs washed properly in industrial machines. Saves your washing machine from destruction and gets bulky bedding actually clean.
### Your Washing Machine Wasn't Built for This
Ever tried cramming a **giant dog bed into a domestic washer**? Best case: it doesn't clean properly because there's no room to agitate. Worst case: you wreck your machine trying. Large pet bedding needs **industrial capacity** and proper agitation to get clean.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Domestic washing machines struggle with anything over about 5kg wet weight. Large dog beds, thick fleeces, and horse blankets can hit 10-15kg when wet - way beyond what your machine can handle safely.

### Why Industrial Washing Works Better
Home machines aren't designed for the weight and bulk of large pet bedding.
| ✅ Done Right (Industrial) | ❌ Done Wrong (Home Machine) | |----------------------------|------------------------------| | Proper capacity for bulk items | Crammed in, doesn't move | | Strong agitation gets deep-clean | Surface clean at best | | Machine designed for heavy loads | Risk of breaking drum/motor | | Pet-safe detergent, proper rinse | Detergent residue left behind |

What to Expect
### Step 1: Collection or Drop-off Either I collect the bedding from you, or you can drop it off if that's easier. We'll agree a time that works for both of us. ### Step 2: Industrial Wash I take the bedding to an industrial washer (launderette or equestrian facility depending on what's being cleaned), wash with pet-safe detergent, and rinse thoroughly. Big machines handle bulk items properly. ### Step 3: Drying & Return Smaller items can be tumble dried. Large items might be better returned damp for you to air dry at home (industrial dryers can be harsh on some fabrics). I'll return everything clean and ready to use.

Good to Know
> 🐾 **Regular washing schedule?** If you've got dogs that get muddy regularly or horses with multiple blankets to rotate, I can set up a regular collection schedule - monthly or fortnightly depending on your needs. Means you don't have to think about it. **Horse blankets are different:** They need specialist care, especially if they're waterproofed. I use equestrian laundry facilities that understand turnout rugs, fly sheets, and stable blankets. Wrong washing can wreck the waterproofing. **What I can't wash:** If bedding is torn, has exposed foam, or is falling apart, washing might finish it off. I'll be honest if I think it won't survive. Also, some memory foam beds can't be machine washed - I'll check labels before proceeding. **Heavily soiled items:** If bedding has serious staining or smell (looking at you, fox-rolling dogs), it might need a pre-treatment or double wash. I'll let you know if that's needed and quote accordingly. **Collection radius:** I cover Exeter and about 30 miles around. If you're further out, I can still help but might need to charge a bit extra for travel. Just ask when you book.
Frequently Asked Questions about Pet blanket washing in Crediton
What size pet bedding can you wash?
Large dog beds, horse blankets, thick fleeces - basically anything too bulky or heavy for a domestic washing machine. If it won't fit in your machine or you're worried about breaking it, I can take it to an industrial washer that handles big loads easily.
Where do you wash them?
I use industrial washing machines at a local launderette or equestrian facility (depending on what's being washed). These machines handle much bigger loads and heavier items than domestic machines without struggling.
Do I need to provide detergent?
No - I use pet-safe, fragrance-free detergent that's tough on dirt and smells but safe for animals. If your pet has allergies or you prefer a specific product, just let me know and I can use yours instead.
Will you dry them too?
I can tumble dry smaller items or return them damp for you to finish drying at home (some large items are better air-dried anyway). We'll discuss what works best when you book.
How often should pet bedding be washed?
Ideally every 2-4 weeks for dogs, more often if they're muddy or smelly. Horse blankets depend on use - usually every few weeks during the season. Regular washing reduces smells, parasites, and skin issues. I'm happy to set up a regular schedule if that helps.
