Care Instructions

At Ralph & Co we want you to get the best out of our products for as long as possible. So we have compiled the following guide to ensure your items remain in tip top condition. 

New Style Nest Beds

Unzip the removable covers of the outer bed and inner cushion and pop in the washing machine on a 30°C wash and allow to dry on a radiator or airing cupboard. Do not tumble dry. This will allow your bed to stay in top condition for many years.

Old Style Nest Beds (Purchased before Jan 2025)

For the inner cushion you can pop this in your washing machine on a low heat setting and allow to dry naturally. 

The outer bed for the XS/Small/Medium can also go in the washing machine on a low heat setting and allowed to dry naturally. 

For the Large and XL outer bed we would recommend cleaning with an upholstery cleaner. 

Waterproof Beds

Most mud/dirt should be wipeable as the fabric is designed to be easily cleaned. However for heavy soiling please unzip the removable covers of the inner cushion and outer bed and pop in the washing machine on a hand/low temp wash setting without detergent. Please then allow to dry naturally. 

Please note that using any detergent or fabric cleaner etc will affect the waterproof fabrics effectiveness.

Pillow Style Beds

Unzip and place the removable cover into your machine washing at 30° then dry thoroughly in an airing cupboard or against a radiator. Do not tumble dry.

Collars & Leads

When it comes to choosing what to clean dog collars with, we usually advise that you hand wash our collars and leads or give them a wipe down and let them dry naturally.

Blankets

Pop in your washing machine at 30° and allow to dry naturally.  

**Please note: All of our beds are made using upholstery grade fabric and are filled with fibre.  The sizes mentioned are the measurements that each bed is cut to and once filled, may vary slightly due to this very nature. We recommend that upon receipt the nest bed is removed from the outer plastic bag and left to rest for 24 hours before use.
