Allisandro Comfort Dog & Cat Crate Mat, Vivid Bone, 18 x 12-in

Unpacking: Upon receiving your mat, unroll it and let it air out for a few hours to regain its full fluffiness after being vacuum-packed for shipping.

Placement: Place the mat in your pet's favorite spot, inside a crate, on an elevated bed, or wherever your pet sleeps. The non-slip silicone base will keep it in place on most surfaces.

Travel Use: Easily roll or fold the mat for travel. It's lightweight, making it perfect for trips, vet visits, or dog shows.

Multi-Pet Homes: If you have multiple pets, this mat can be an additional layer in shared sleeping areas or as individual resting spots.

Under Furniture: Use as a protective layer under pet beds or furniture to guard against spills and scratches.

Cleaning: Machine Wash: Most of the time, machine washing will suffice. Wash on a gentle cycle with cold water to preserve the materials and waterproofing. Use a pet-safe detergent.

Spot Cleaning: For small stains or quick clean-ups, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Blot rather than rub to avoid damaging the fabric.

Air Dry: Preferably lay flat or hang to dry to maintain the shape and integrity of the mat. Direct sunlight can help eliminate odors but avoid prolonged exposure to prevent material degradation.

Tumble Dry: If using a dryer, use a low heat setting. Remove the mat while it's slightly damp to avoid over-drying, which can affect the waterproof layer.

Regular Fluffing: Fluff the mat occasionally to maintain its plushness, especially after washing or when it's been compressed.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or fabric softeners as they can damage the fabric and waterproof coating.

Storage: When not in use, roll or fold the mat and store it in a dry place. Avoid storing in damp or humid areas to prevent mold or mildew.

Inspection: Regularly check the mat for signs of wear, particularly at the seams or where the waterproof layer might be compromised. If damaged, consider replacing to maintain hygiene and functionality.
