Daily Maintenance
Pet Beds & Caves
- Vacuum regularly: Use a vacuum cleaner to remove pet hair and dust
- Spot cleaning: Use a damp cloth to clean small stains immediately
- Air out: Allow products to air dry in a well-ventilated area
Deep Cleaning
Hand Washing (Recommended)
- Use warm (not hot) water
- Add wool-specific detergent or gentle soap
- Gently agitate without wringing or twisting
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water
- Gently squeeze out excess water
- Reshape while damp and air dry
Machine Washing
- Use gentle/wool cycle only
- Cold or lukewarm water (max 30°C/86°F)
- Wool detergent only
- No fabric softener
- Low spin or no spin cycle
Drying Instructions
- Never use a dryer: Heat can shrink and damage wool fibers
- Reshape while damp: Form pet beds back to their original bubble shape
- Good ventilation: Ensure proper air circulation
- Steam finishing: Use a hand steamer to remove wrinkles
Storage Tips
- Store in a dry, well-ventilated area
- Avoid plastic bags (use breathable storage)

Important Notes
Natural Scent: Some products may have a slight natural soap scent initially, which will fade with use and airing.
Color Variations: Natural wool colors may vary slightly from photos due to the organic nature of the materials.
Professional Cleaning: For heavily soiled items, consider professional wool cleaning services.
