How To Keep A Dog Bed’S Interior Clean?

This article provides tips on how to clean your dog’s bed, whether it’s a solid bed, memory foam mattress, or a soft pillowy bed with a removable cover. Regular maintenance can help reduce the frequency of deep cleaning sessions and remove all dog hair, dirt, and debris. To keep your dog’s bed cleaner for longer, use a vacuum’s head attachment to clean every inch of the bed, including the exterior, interior, and in between the seams.

To spot-clean, remove loose hair or debris with a lint roller or a loop of packing tape. Mix one tablespoon detergent and one quart of water and apply the cleaning solution. Follow these steps to keep your dog’s coverless bed clean and smelling new in no time.

To remove dog hair from the bed, use a handheld vacuum or an upholstery attachment to clean every crevice of the memory foam. Spray a combination of ½-cup of laundry detergent and water on the bed without soaking it. Sprinkle the bed with baking soda and let it sit for a few hours to remove odors. Then vacuum it for a final time.

If your dog bed can’t be put in the washing machine, spot-clean it using vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, or an enzyme-based cleaner. First, fill the washer with water, add about 2 cups of white vinegar, submerge the bed, turn the machine off, let it soak for a few hours, then wash the cover in the washing machine on the delicate cycle with warm water and a small amount of soap. Run an empty hot cycle with a teaspoon of bleach after.
