How often should you wash the pet bedding?
Fortnightly. It goes on the list when you tell it there is a cat, or there is a dog.
What it actually is, and what shifts it
Wash pet bedding on its own and on a hot cycle — it is carrying hair, dander and, in season, fleas at various stages. Shake it out over a bin first, or the machine filter gets what the hoover should have had.
Put it on a list that reminds you
“Wash the pet bedding”, fortnightly. Tick it when it is done and the next date is counted from that day, not from when it was due.
