How do I wash my snugpups coat?

Fleece Coats:

Machine wash cold on gentle cycle, inside out, with like colors. Do Not Bleach. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry low or air dry. Drying should be done with coat inside out. If coat becomes wet or damp from outdoor use, dry coat inside out lying flat.

Wool Couture Coats:

Dry-cleaning is recommended, though some wool can take hand washing in cold water with light scrubbing. Only use wool safe detergent and lie flat to air dry. Always test a swatch first if you are going to care for your wool fabrics at home rather than using a dry cleanser. Much of the fine wool Snugpups sources have already been “sponged,” or preshrunk.

These care instructions given are for Wool Fabrics in general, however, Snugpups does not accept responsibility for fabrics that are incorrectly laundered/damaged by following these instructions. It is best to consult with your local dry cleanser for proper cleaning.

Raincoats

If soiled, outer laminated cotton layer can be wiped off with a damp cloth. For heavier cleaning needed, machine wash cold on gentle cycle with coat inside out. Air dry flat inside out. DO NOT USE DRYER. The fabric is BPA free.

Cooling Coats

After use, simply rinse, wring out and store in a plastic bag or container to keep the fabric supple. If cooling coat dries completely it will become stiff like cardboard. This is OK! Just re-hydrate in water and it will be ready again for use.

If the cooling coat gets soiled, you can hand wash in a mild soap or laundry detergent without fabric softener to eliminate grime and odors.

DO NOT PLACE COOLING COATS IN DRYER!
