Keeping your furry friends happy and healthy isn’t just about playtime and treats, it also means keeping their bedding clean. Pet bedding and blankets can accumulate dirt, fur, dander, and even odors over time. But how often should you wash them, and what’s the best way to do it? Stone Drive Coin Laundry has you covered.


Why Regular Washing Matters

Pet bedding collects more than just hair. Sweat, oils, saliva, and outdoor dirt can all accumulate on blankets and beds. If not washed regularly, this can lead to:

  • Unpleasant odors

  • Bacteria and germs

  • Allergens that affect humans and pets

Regular cleaning helps maintain a hygienic home and keeps your pets cozy and healthy.


How Often to Wash Pet Bedding

The frequency depends on your pet’s habits and the type of bedding:

  • Dogs that spend lots of time outdoors: Once a week

  • Indoor pets with minimal outdoor exposure: Every 2 weeks

  • Pets with allergies or skin issues: Every 3–4 days

  • Small blankets or accessories: Weekly or more often if soiled


Tips for Washing Pet Bedding at a Laundromat

Stone Drive Coin Laundry has large-capacity washers and dryers, making it easy to clean bulky pet beds and blankets:

  1. Shake off excess hair and dirt before washing.

  2. Use a pet-safe detergent to protect sensitive skin.

  3. Choose a hot water cycle to kill germs and bacteria.

  4. Dry thoroughly as pet bedding should be completely dry to avoid mildew.

  5. Wash covers separately from toys to keep items hygienic.


Benefits of Using a Coin Laundry

Large machines at Stone Drive Coin Laundry can handle bulky items that your home washer might struggle with. Benefits include:

  • Faster drying for thick blankets

  • Extra space for multiple beds

  • Convenience for pet owners with busy schedules

Final Thoughts

Keeping your pet’s bedding and blankets clean is essential for a healthy, happy home. By washing regularly and using the large, efficient machines at Stone Drive Coin Laundry, you can make laundry day easy and stress-free...both for you and your pets.
