DID YOU KNOW THAT YOUR PET MAY BE ALLERGIC TO THEIR BED??
If you wash your pet blankets and beds using popular fabric softeners and dryer sheets, that “just washed” fresh smell comes from chemicals called Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) that can negatively impact your pets’ health (coughing, rashy, itchy pets, anyone?). Some laundry detergents can also generate an allergic response, so look for unscented detergents that are free from dyes and perfumes to wash anything your pet sleeps on.
Replace chemical-laden fabric softeners with a non-toxic DIY option!
Recipe: Mix 6 cups white vinegar with 1 cup baking soda, let it fizz. When the fizz stops, pour mixture into a large glass container with a lid. Use 1 cup per load of laundry.
