Your dog's favorite toy has been chewed, buried, dropped in a puddle and carried to bed. It deserves a wash. Maybe several.
Quick answer: machine wash soft and rope toys on a gentle cycle with a fragrance-free sheet, add an extra rinse and dry fully. Toss any toy that's falling apart.
Soft toys
- Pop them in a mesh bag or pillowcase.
- Wash on gentle with one sheet.
- Add an extra rinse so no detergent stays behind.
- Air-dry or tumble low.
The squeaker usually survives. Squeeze it after to get water out.
Rope toys
Wash in the machine or soak in warm water with a dissolved sheet, then rinse well. Rope holds water, so dry it completely, ideally in the sun.
Why fragrance-free
Dogs put toys in their mouths constantly. No added fragrance and no essential oils is the simple choice.
When to toss it
- Stuffing is coming out.
- Pieces are breaking off.
- The squeaker is exposed.
- It still smells after washing.
We know. It's their favorite. Buy two next time.
