How To Wash Your Lords & Labradors Pet Bedding

Keeping your pets bedding clean and smelling fresh will not only benefit you and your pooch, it’ll also prolong the life of your pet’s well loved bed. Here at Lords and Labradors, we know being able to wash your pet’s bedding is important, as our furry friends can get their beds messy from muddy paw prints, to treats/chews being hidden inside of their bed! If you have any questions about your Lords and Labradors bedding, please do contact us and we’re happy to answer any queries you may have. Our bedding comes in two main collections, our essentials collection which includes our Plush, Herdwick and Twill ranges, and our Core Collection which consists of our signature ranges. Each needs washing in a different way so first check which collection your pet’s bedding is from.   How To Clean Your Lords & Labradors Essentials Pet Bedding Our Essentials Plush & Twill beds are machine washable, the rest of our Essentials collection is spot wash only. Below we’ve listed our top tips for cleaning your L&L Essentials beds. Cleaning Your Essentials Plush Crate Cushion, Bumpers & Sofa Toppers Sleepeze Cushions Our Essentials Plush cushions, sofa toppers & bumpers, as well as our Sleepeze cushions, are spot wash only. You will want to start by hoovering off any loose hair and dirt, make sure to get in any crevices. Next, using a clean cloth, warm water and a mild pet-safe detergent, gently scrub any areas which need cleaning, afterwards with a clean cloth wipe away any suds and leave to air dry. We recommend doing a test patch on a discreet area of the bed before cleaning the whole bed to check that your detergent isn’t going to cause any discolouration.   Cleaning Your Essentials Plush Crate Cover Our Plush crate covers are machine washable. To wash simply turn the cover inside out and wash on a gentle cycle at 20º. The fabric will air dry really quickly, simply place is somewhere flat and not in direct sunlight - you can even lay it over your dog’s crate so that it keeps it shape! Make sure to allow your cover to air dry naturally, not over a radiator or in a tumble dryer as they are more likely to shrink!   Cleaning Your Essentials Herdwick Bed & Sleepeze Start by hoovering any loose hairs or dirt from the bed, some of the collection have removable inner cushions we recommend taking this out to clean separately, so you can properly get into all the corners of the bed. Next you’ll want to get some warm water mixed with a mild pet safe detergent, with a clean cloth gently scrub your pet’s bed focusing on any dirty areas. Then wipe away any suds and leave to air dry. Again we recommend trialling the detergent in a discreet spot to check it doesn’t discolour your pet’s bed.      How To Wash Your Essentials Plush & Twill Beds Our Plush & Twill beds are all machine washable. To keep them looking fresh we recommend starting by hoovering away any loose hairs or dirt, this will stop the hair from clogging up in your washing machine. Our twill crate mats and orthopaedic beds have removable covers, pop the cover inside out and zipped up in your washing machine. If your bed has an inner cushion, you can take this out and wash it separately to the outer, making it easier to fit in the washing machine. We recommend washing our beds on a gentle cycle at 20º in the washing machine, leave to air dry and never tumble dry. Your bed may just need a good shake after to spread out the filling and then it will be ready for your pet to use again.     How To Clean Your L&L Core Collection Pet Bedding Our core collection is all machine washable, our pet experts have listed their top tips below to keep them looking fresh for as long as possible! How To Wash Your L&L Crate Cover Taking care of your L&L crate cover means it’ll keep it looking fresh for longer!

The fabric will just need to air dry, by placing it somewhere flat and not in direct sunlight - you could even lay it over the crate so it dries in its shape. Once dry, you can cool-iron/steam inside out to remove any unsightly creases. Do not machine wash oilcloth covers.    How To Wash Your L&L Crate Cushion and Crate Bumpers Washing your L&L core collection crate cushions and bumpers is easy, simply unzip the covers, and remove the waterproof liner from the cushion too. You can wipe clean the waterproof liner and air out the cushion whilst you pop the cushion cover/crate bumper cover into the washing machine at 20º on a gentle cycle - don’t forget to turn the covers inside out before doing so! Allow the covers to air dry, and do not tumble dry.    How To Wash Your L&L Beds With the right care your Lords & Labradors bed will continue to look beautiful for years!

    Luxury Dog Beds For Every Interior - The L&L Collection 2024

    When choosing a dog bed there are a number of things to take into consideration. It needs to be the right size for your dog or puppy; it needs to be comfortable; and it needs to stand up to use and wash well. High on our list of priorities is the look of the bed too. All of the practicalities are super important to us, but we also want a dog bed that looks stylish and works well in our home. At Lords & Labradors we take all of these things into consideration when designing our luxury pet beds. We fuse good looks and practicality to bring you stunning pet beds that will look lovely in every home. Here we take you through some of the new additions to the range for 2024! Our New Luxury Dog Beds The Dog Box Bed Over the last few years our box beds have become firm favourites in the L&L collection. Excitingly we've now extended the range into our anti-anxiety Faux Fur, opulent Velvet & cosy Inchmurrin fabrics. The box bed comes in 3 sizes to suit a range of breeds, from a miniature dachshund up to extra-large breeds such as Labradors and Dalmatians. They are perfect for dogs who like to snuggle into the corner of their bed or who like to rest their head on the side. We’ve included a reversible inner cushion with a super soft reverse that is ideal for those chillier nights when the plush texture will help keep pups’ cosy.    High Wall Beds  Our super cosy high wall bed is quickly becoming one of our most popular styles, they are a sleepy pup’s dream! This year we've extended the popular range with both our Faux Fur and Inchmurrin fabrics, so we're sure we will have something to match your interior. The beds are oh-so-soft and squishy and your pup will love snuggling up inside.  Sleepy Burrows Bed If you’re pup loves curling up under a blanket or hiding themselves when they snooze, our Sleepy Burrows beds may be just what your pup needs. These are similar to our Dog Cushions but are designed with a hood type blanket, so your pet can get cosy between the blanket layer and cushion should they wish. We’ve designed them in all of our L&L fabrics, and feature a zip to ensure easy, machine washable cleaning. There are so many gorgeous fabrics to choose from, but some of our favourites are our Bouclé and Faux Fur fabrics. Your little pups are going to adore snuggling up for nap times in here!
