Care instructions for our dog products
Dog beds, spare covers, doggy sofa and doggy snooze
To keep your Wau-Bed looking beautiful and hygienic for a long time, please follow these care instructions:
Relation:
– Machine washable at 40 °C
– Wash without fabric softener
- Suitable for tumble drying on gentle cycle
– Important: Either completely close the cover or completely disassemble it before washing.
Inlay & Filling:
Washable at 60°C
– Remove the filling and put it into a large pillow until the inner pillow fits into the washing machine.
Very important:
The filling must be completely dry before you refill the bed and close the cover – otherwise there is a risk of mildew or mold.
Refilling made easy:
You can then easily fill the bed by hand – don't worry, you can't go wrong! Just make sure that the filling is evenly distributed – especially in the corners and at the edges – so that your dog is completely comfortable.
