Caring for your Cat Bed
Handcrafted with love in the Scottish Highlands, our cat beds and mats are made from 100% British wool, celebrating the natural beauty and heritage of Jacob wool, Shetland wool, and Harris Tweed wool (sourced from a byproduct of Scotland's iconic tweed weaving process). Each piece is unique, crocheted or peg-loom woven with care to provide ultimate comfort for your feline friend.
Wool Cat Bed Care Instructions
Airing:
- Regular airing helps refresh the wool, as it has natural self-cleaning properties. Place the bed outside in a shady spot to allow the fibres to breathe and release any trapped odours.
Shaking:
- ·Shaking the bed gently can help remove dirt and debris. It's a quick and effective way to keep the bed clean between washes.
Spot-Cleaning:
- For small stains, use a damp cloth and mild wool detergent to gently blot the area. Avoid rubbing, as it can damage the fibres.
Handwashing:
- Fill a large container with lukewarm water and add a small amount of wool detergent.
- Submerge the bed and leave to soak for about 30 minutes. Avoid wringing or twisting.
- Rinse thoroughly in clean lukewarm water, again avoid wringing or twisting.
- Press out excess water by rolling the bed in a towel and squeezing.
- Reshape the bed (the sides could be supported inside with a rolled-up towel) and lay on a flat surface to dry in a shaded area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
Note: Wool is naturally antimicrobial and resistant to odours, so frequent washing is not necessary.
