Does the fuzz stay on? Has anyone any information about how well the fuzz is bound to the fabric ? Normally at a regular store, i like to pinch a tiny part of the blankey and pull slightly -to see if any of the fibers, or fuzz comes off easily. If it does, I dont buy it, because i dont want to have synthetic fibers rubbing off to stick to my upholstry, peoples clothes etc. (Thats why i dont have animals in my house either.) But i do love these velvety soft types of blankets , assuming they are well made and dont "shed". Does the fuzz stay on? Has anyone any information about how well the fuzz is bound to the fabric ?

I only just got it w/in the hour, but I've done your stated "pinch" test and nothing has come off. It's rather soft but I've gotta say that I'm a bit disappointed w/ how thin the throw is.

There wasn't any lint in the washer (gentle cycle cold like the tag said) so I thought great some of the reviews were wrong and tumble dry low heat which I did and WOW. The blanket is full of fuzz when I took it out of the dryer. Guess I'll see what happens next time I pulled off some of the fuzz but it's all over the blanket.

Our does eats other softer beds and is a moderate scratcher. The fabric seems durable in that it is stretched in order to assemble the bed (difficult assembly due to the fabric top needing to be stretched to fit the frame). We have found the bed to be durable and I feel confident that the bed would prove to be durable for a scratcher. In fact, I have not found any other fabric more durable than this. I hope this helps and good luck.

Depends - it looks like about the same weave as the dog bed fabric they make, which depending on heat and amount of weight from a dog on it does stretch and contract a little. The shade fabric itself does not seem to have substantial stretch as far as when trying it off. Heat conditions may make it a little more stretchy, but not substantially. I haven't noticed any stretching since putting mine up - I have it tied off at the corners. Hope that helps.

As the others have responded, it is very large for a washing machine. You might be able to find a machine large enough at a laundromat, but then I cannot say how it will effect the stuffing. You shouldn't have to wash it anyway. Rolling it up regularly will keep the stuffing fluffed/aired out and taking a broom to it once in a while will really liven it up. If you really need to have it cleaned I would suggest taking it to a dry cleaners. I'm sure they would be able to help/assist/advise you on what to do. If you're worried about the smell it has from the packaging you should leave it out in the sun for a few days. If you keep a sheet on it you won't notice it anyway. I highly recommend this product and absolutely love sleeping on it. Hope you decide to get one and find joy and comfort in yours as well!

There are probably better options for denim, especially if you want a quick fix while wearing them. I would use either a tape adhesive type roller, or the pledge fabric sweeper. Its a little more pricy but lasts a long time, even the older model. The blade works best for pulling hair out of fabrics with a nap like suede or fleece that normally cling onto and attract hair. If you do use it on and fabrics, make sure they are as flat as possible and taut. I have the blade and use it daily to clean up the pet hair from my bedspread left from the long haired cat and Boston Terrier. I don't know what I did without it.

I have the original PetFusion scratch lounger and that one does leave bit of cardboard, however, this jumbo doesn't seem to shed as much. It is still pretty new, however, but the cardboard appears denser on the jumbo, which suggests it may not shed as much. My cats LOVE all of their PetFusion loungers. Hope that helps!

In the description, it says it snaps off to throw in the washer. I tried to unsnap it to get it off, but couldnt get it unsnapped. Doesnt really need to go in the washer, though. But if you do wash it, wash alone in warm water, not much detergent, small load, no bleach or softener, and I would just let it air-dry and not put it in the dryer.

Mine has many loose ends that stick out. The wicker? Is fairly soft however. It's up to you, but me personally I wouldn't want to take the chance of ruining my knitted things.

I bought the Animal version of the DC17 and it comes with the mini turbine head. I have a comforter that my golden retreiver loves to sleep on that I've washed and vacuumed endlessly and it still always looks like it needs a shave. One trip over it with the mini turbine and everything visable came out. I had just washed and tumbled the comforter the week before and it still filled the canister with hair. I don't know if I'd use that head on fine fabrics but did a great job on my brocade comforter and didn't do any visable damage to the material. My furniture is all leather to help keep the hair problem down so I don't have anything to try it on there but I'd be willing to bet that you'd have great results on upholstered furniture.

I have had the cover for several months but have not washed it so I cant say if the fluff comes out. I will say that this is the softest rail cover I found and it stays in place.

Hello. I am Maggie, the owner of ComfyComfy and the original sewer of the pillows. I do not recommend washing the pillow because it is made of 100% cotton and it will shrink after washing. I suggest putting a pillowcase over it as you would with any of the pillow, or buy a pillow protector with a zipper and put a regular pillowcase over. Be sure that it is cotton to maintain the breathability of the pillow. Regrets for the delay in replying!

Hi Sara, I re-sprayed my fabric after washing it, just to be on the safe side, two out of three times...my fabric is black with white print...I didn't notice any problems/lack of protection when I neglected to spray it, but that might be due to the main color being black. If in doubt, spray it again! ;)

I :) have had the topper for a couple of months. Have not as yet had an issue. When I strip my bed I always shake out my topper. Don't know if that may make a difference.

It reminds me a lot of batting (the stuff that goes between the front and back and makes it thicker) for a blanket. Alone, it is kind of irritating to the skin and lungs like insulation is so for sure i would make sure that it was covered with another fabric (like cotton or flannel) if you were to use it as a rat cage liner. It does seem to absorb very well and it is washer and dryer safe... but I would think that only after it is covered in another fabric.

Hi, Sorry for the delay, I've had the flu. This blanket is made of 90 % Acrylic and 10 % Polyester Fibers. It was made in Mexico. Wash in cold water, I put it in our dryer on the lowest heat, air dry setting and it's fine. Here is a website that maybe helpful. www ramatexinternalional.com. It is very warm but does "shed" leaving some fuzzies on black clothing. This would work well on a twin bed. We use it over the back of our couch. It is too small for a full-size or larger bed. Hope this helps you out!!!!

I'm the person that said it knots up when it gets washed. It will knot up more and more as you wash it; It would probably take 5 to 10 washings to be totally knotted up. Once it is knotted up it loses that super soft rabbit-hair softness I like. Pill is when it knots up; so yes it pills if you wash it. It does not shed.
