How should I treat stains on my waterproof blanket?

For best results, treat stains with a quality pet stain remover first.

We recommend using My Pet Peed, which is free from fragrances, perfumes, harsh chemicals, and bleaches. This type of cleaner breaks down solids and lifts stains layer by layer, helping reduce the need for frequent machine washing.

Steps for My Pet Peed:

Set the nozzle to mist and thoroughly spray the affected area. Allow the product to sit for up to 24 hours. Repeat if necessary.
For heavier stains, such as urine or feces, saturate the area thoroughly. Allow it to sit before washing, if needed, using regular laundry detergent (avoid bleach).

What are the general washing instructions for the blanket?

Machine wash using regular laundry detergent. Avoid using bleach.
If needed, repeat the drain and spin cycle to remove excess water.
Hang to dry in a shaded area or tumble dry on a low heat setting.

Can I use a dryer to dry my blanket?

Yes, but only on a low heat setting.

Why should I avoid high heat when tumble drying?

High heat can damage the internal waterproof membrane and reduce long-term performance.

What should I do if the blanket retains too much water in the wash?

If the blanket holds excess water after washing, repeat the drain and spin cycle multiple times to remove it before drying.

Caring For Your Waterproof Blanket Matters

Waterproof performance isn’t just built into the blanket. It’s preserved by how it’s cared for over time.

High heat, harsh chemicals, and unnecessary washing are the most common causes of damage to the internal waterproof layer.

A properly cared for blanket is designed to handle real-life use, from everyday spills to repeated pet accidents, without compromising its protective barrier.
