Gently agitate the water to create suds.<\/p>\n<p>Next, submerge the blankets in the water and use your hands to scrub them thoroughly. Pay attention to any particularly dirty or soiled areas. Once you&#8217;ve finished washing, drain the tub or sink and rinse the blankets thoroughly with clean water until all soap suds are gone. Hang the blankets outside to air dry, or use a clothesline or drying rack.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Spot_cleaning\"><\/span>Spot cleaning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For small stains or areas that need extra attention, spot cleaning can be an effective way to clean your dog&#8217;s blankets without washing them entirely.<\/p>\n<p>To spot clean, mix a solution of equal parts water and <a href=\"https:\/\/pawsitivetips.com\/washing-dog-bed-with-vinegar-and-baking-soda\/\">white vinegar<\/a>. Dampen a clean cloth or sponge with the solution and gently rub the affected area. You can also use a pet stain and odor remover for particularly stubborn stains. Rinse the area with clean water and pat it dry with a towel.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Steam_cleaning\"><\/span>Steam cleaning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Steam cleaning is a safe and effective way to sanitize your dog&#8217;s blankets without using any harsh chemicals. You can rent a steam cleaner from a hardware store or purchase one for home use.<\/p>\n<p>To steam clean your dog&#8217;s blankets, lay them flat on a clean surface and go over them with the steam cleaner, paying special attention to any stains or soiled areas. Once you&#8217;ve finished steaming, hang the blankets to dry.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dry_cleaning\"><\/span>Dry cleaning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re hesitant to wash your dog&#8217;s blankets yourself or have particularly delicate fabrics, you can take them to a professional dry cleaner.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to choose a cleaner that specializes in pet bedding and let them know about any stains or problem areas. Dry cleaning can be expensive, so it&#8217;s important to weigh the cost against the convenience of having clean, fresh-smelling blankets.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recommended_articles_%3E%3E\"><\/span><strong>Recommended articles &gt;&gt; <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pawsitivetips.com\/dog-beds-for-super-chewers\/\">What are the best dog beds for super chewers?<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pawsitivetips.com\/how-to-deodorize-dog-bed\/\">How to deodorize dog bed in the washing machine?<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Washing your dog&#8217;s blankets without a washing machine may require a bit more effort, but it is entirely doable.
