Machine Washable Slipcovers: A pet-lovers best friend...

Even though I generally prefer 100% cotton fabrics, for slipcovers, I use 100% polyester. Why? Because polyester is easy to clean, dries without wrinkles, and pet hair falls right off of it in the dryer.
The only downside to polyester is that in the Winter, it develops excessive static electricity. Solve that problem by occasionally spraying with "Static Guard" (a spray on product available everywhere). Static Guard repels pet hairs, so it's a good thing to use, and have around the house, anyway.
Today's 100% polyester slipcovers are available in microfiber, which is very popular and looks like suede. It is also soft and comfortable. Both humans and their pets like the way it feels to touch. It is soft and cozy.
Comes in a number of color choices, and it is very easy to care for.
Pop the cover in the washer - and a miracle happens in the dryer..the pet hairs get removed into the lint trap. Easy!
One of my dogs sheds so much, I use a cover on my bed that is machine washed twice a week. (This keeps us both comfortable - but especially me. I have allergies, and like to keep dog fur to a minimum).
Washable Pet Beds with Removable Covers are an excellent idea and really help those who need to reduce allergens...
How often should you wash your pet covers? Wash often to keep the covers free of hair, fresh in appearance and of course, fresh-smelling.
My dogs seem to appreciate having clean bedding. Sounds silly? Maybe, but I notice that when I give the dogs fresh covers, they immediately want to try out their bed!
Maybe if it's not the smell - it's the fluffiness.
I have one sofa that is very beautiful and covered in a delicate velour - and I take the slipcover off when company-comes.
The rest of the time, for everyday living, my dogs and I use the slipcovers. For me, it reduces allergies. And for my dogs, it keeps them out of trouble because I don't have to worry about them ruining my good furniture. Everything is protected! And my dogs are welcome to lounge on the furniture.
That's how I live. It's me and the dogs, and we're all very happy and comfortable.
