Calming Nest Sweater Care & Cleaning GuideUpdated 2 hours ago

The Calming Nest Sweater is made from plush teddy fabric and is designed to be machine washable, making it easy to keep fresh for you and your dog.

Regular, gentle cleaning will help preserve the softness and structure of the sweater and built-in pouch.

How Do I Wash the Calming Nest Sweater?

Before washing

Remove any loose pet hair.

Empty the pouch.

Check the pouch and zipper for debris.

Secure the zipper before placing the sweater in the washing machine.

Machine wash using a gentle cycle.

For best results, use a mild detergent and avoid harsh cleaning products.

Can I Use Bleach?

We do not recommend using bleach or harsh cleaning chemicals on the Calming Nest Sweater.

These products may damage the teddy fabric or affect its softness.

How Do I Keep the Teddy Fabric Soft?

Gentle washing is the best way to help maintain the plush texture.

Between washes, you can use a lint roller or pet hair remover to remove loose fur instead of washing the entire sweater every time your dog uses it.

How Do I Remove Dog Hair?

Loose pet hair can be removed using

• A lint roller
• A pet hair removal tool
• A gentle vacuum attachment

Removing excess fur before washing can also help prevent hair from collecting inside your washing machine.

How Do I Clean a Small Spot or Spill?

For small messes, spot cleaning may be enough.

Blot away excess moisture and gently clean the area using a damp cloth and a small amount of mild detergent.

Avoid aggressively scrubbing the teddy fabric.

How Often Should I Wash It?

There is no required washing schedule.

Wash your Calming Nest Sweater whenever it becomes visibly dirty or develops an odor.

How frequently it needs washing will depend on how often you use it, how much your dog sheds, and your dog's activity level.

Check the Sweater Regularly

Because the pouch holds your dog, regularly inspect:

• The zipper
• Pouch seams
• Fabric
• Stitching

If you notice significant damage to the pouch, zipper, or supporting seams, stop placing your dog inside until the product has been inspected or replaced.

What Should I Avoid?

To help keep your Calming Nest Sweater looking and feeling its best:

• Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals.
• Avoid aggressive scrubbing.
• Do not iron directly over the teddy fabric.
• Do not use the pouch if its seams or zipper are damaged.
• Make sure the sweater is completely dry before allowing your dog to use the pouch again.
