Washing Instructions

Original, Nest, and Basic Beds

1. Unzip the cover to remove the filled inner liner. The outer bolster of the Nest may be unzipped to remove its filled liner too.
2. Unzip filled inner liner and remove the SmartFill.  Inside the Nest bolster inner liner you may find the SmartFill encased in a white fabric tube. Pull out the white tube, find the open end, and remove the SmartFill. The white tube may be discarded or returned to Big Shrimpy for recycling. After washing, you may place the SmartFill directly in the bolster inner liner.
3. The outer cover and empty inner liner may be washed in your home washing machine or at a laundromat.
4. We recommend that SmartFill be washed and dried at a laundromat. It should be washed loose, separately from the outer cover and inner liner.
5. Wash all parts in warm water using a gentle soap that will not irritate your pet’s coat.
6. Tumble dry on low heat. Do not over-dry.

If you purchased your bed between 2001 and 2007, it probably contains fleece scraps. These beds can be washed as above. We recommend that the fleece scraps be washed and dried at a laundromat separately from the outer cover and empty inner liner.
