What are the laundering instructions?

The Wash ‘n Zip Bed, Comfort Cushion, and Puppy Proofer are all fully launderable in both the washer and dryer.

The fabric manufacturer recommends no bleach, cold water in the washer and low heat in dryer.  It’s quite possible that their recommendations are conservative like a lot of other product warnings.

I can attest that for 8+ years now, my wife and I routinely wash them in warm/hot water, and generally dry them on the medium/high heat cycle in the dryer, and they have held up very well.  I also sometimes add about 1/4 cup of bleach to the washer to help remove odors.  I understand that OxiClean can also be effective for removing odors.

Please understand that washing/drying any fabrics on a more vigorous cycle will tend to shorten the life of the materials versus a less vigorous cycle, so keep that in mind when deciding what settings to use in your laundry.
