Laundry advice!

Strange question, so apologies in advance!

Rosie was sick all over her bed overnight (furball season, yuk!). I've put a pic of a bed similar to hers underneath ... thought it best to spare you all a pic of the actual sick covered bed!

The label says machine washable. My question is has anyone successfully washed a similar bed? And how long will it take to dry out?

Or am I better off binning it?

Thanks all :)

I've washed similar, and they have been fine. Not sure how long it took to dry though

Yeah, I've washed something similar. I also popped it into the tumble dryer on synthetic cycle, LOW heat. Did the job.

Thank you. I'll pop it in the wash tomorrow then.

Rosie will be pleased, she's very attached to her bed!

Yes, I've washed this sort of bed - and if you have the sort of tumbledryer that does synthetics, using that blows off all those pesky hairs :D

don't be surprised if she rejects it at first when it smells of clean

you might need to drape something she has lain on over the bed until her scent is transferred
