Read the washing instructions: First, check the washing label on the dress and clean it according to the suggestions on the label. Dresses of different materials may have different washing requirements.
Gentle stain removal: If the dress is not particularly dirty, you can use mild pet-specific laundry detergent or baby laundry detergent. Gently knead in water at about 30℃, focusing on cleaning areas that are prone to getting dirty such as the neckline, cuffs, and skirt hem. If the stain is more stubborn, apply an appropriate amount of laundry detergent on the stain first and let it sit for a few minutes before cleaning.
Avoid machine washing: Try to hand wash pet dresses as machine washing may cause deformation and distortion of the clothing and may also damage the fabric due to excessive friction. If machine washing is used, choose a gentle cycle and put the dress in a laundry bag to reduce damage.
Thorough rinsing: Rinse the dress thoroughly with clean water to ensure that the laundry detergent residue is removed to avoid irritating the pet’s skin.
maintenance method
Air dry naturally: After washing the dress, do not expose it to direct sunlight. Instead, hang it in a well-ventilated place to air dry naturally. Direct sunlight may cause the color of the dress to fade. If ironing is needed, it should be done when the clothing is half dry, and the temperature should not be too high. A damp cloth can be placed on the clothing to prevent scalding the fabric.
Proper storage: When not in use, fold the dress or hang it in the closet to avoid squeezing and wrinkling. You can put some insect repellents, but be careful to avoid direct contact between the insect repellent and the clothing to prevent it from affecting the health of pets.
Regular inspection: Check the dress regularly for any damages, loose threads or stains at intervals. Discover problems in time and repair or clean it to extend its service life.
