HOW TO CLEAN DOG TOYS (FABRIC)
Dogs love their toys—whether plush, rubber, squeaky, or silent—and over time, these toys can get dirty from drool, dirt, paw prints, and everyday play. Even well-behaved pups leave behind stains, odors, and bacteria.
Common household cleaners or laundry detergents may not remove tough stains or odors and can contain ingredients that irritate your dog’s sensitive nose. ADVANAGE the Wonder Cleaner® safely cleans dog toys, eliminating stains and odors from dirt, saliva, grass, mud, and more.
Always check the care label on fabric toys before cleaning.
