🐾 Pets & Laundry: The Ultimate Guide to Keeping Your Home Fresh and Fur-Free
Clean Right Laundromat Blog
We all love our furry family members — their companionship, loyalty, and unconditional love are priceless. But let’s be honest: with pets come muddy paws, shedding fur, and the occasional "oops" moment on the carpet or bedding. One of the biggest challenges for pet owners is keeping laundry clean and odor-free. Whether it’s your favorite hoodie, the couch throw, or your dog’s bed, pet messes can make laundry feel like a never-ending task.
At Clean Right Laundromat, we help pet parents take a load off — literally. Here’s your comprehensive guide to staying on top of laundry when you’ve got four-legged friends in the house.
🛏️ 1. Wash Pet Bedding Regularly
Pet beds, crate liners, and blankets get dirty fast. They collect fur, dander, body oils, drool, and sometimes even fleas or ticks. Washing these items regularly not only keeps your home smelling better, but also helps reduce allergens and supports your pet’s health.
Pet Bedding Tips:
Wash every 1–2 weeks
Shake out fur outside before washing
Use hot water when the fabric allows
Add white vinegar to the rinse cycle for odor-fighting power
Our commercial-size machines at Clean Right Laundromat can handle bulky pet beds easily — and our Sanowash ozone system adds an extra level of sanitization.
👕 2. De-Fur Before You Wash
Throwing pet-hair-covered clothing or bedding directly into the washer can clog your machine and spread the fur to other items. Instead, take a few minutes to pre-treat:
De-Furring Techniques:
Use a lint roller or pet hair remover brush
Toss clothes in the dryer with dryer sheets or wool dryer balls for 10 minutes before washing
Clean out your washer and dryer filters frequently
🧺 3. Use Pet-Friendly Laundry Products
Pets can have sensitive skin just like humans. That’s why it’s essential to choose laundry detergents that are:
Fragrance-free
Hypoallergenic
Free from dyes or harsh chemicals
At Clean Right Laundromat, we use detergents that are tough on stains but gentle on skin — both human and animal. Plus, our ozone sanitation system disinfects naturally without relying on heavy fragrances or additives.
🧸 4. Don’t Forget the Toys & Accessories
Pet toys, collars, and leashes can become breeding grounds for bacteria and mildew — especially after outdoor play or rainy walks.
Laundry Tips for Accessories:
Soft toys can usually be washed in a mesh laundry bag on a gentle cycle
Collars and leashes made of nylon or cloth can be soaked in warm, soapy water or run through the wash
Always air dry to preserve shape and structure
💨 5. Eliminate Odors at the Source
Sometimes, even after washing, that “pet smell” lingers. That’s because traditional washers only remove surface dirt. At Clean Right, our ozone system neutralizes odors at the molecular level — not just masking them but eliminating them entirely. It’s especially effective for deep odors in pet beds, blankets, and fabrics that regular machines can’t handle.
