Frequently Asked Questions
How do I keep my cat window bed clean?
In general, the lining of cat beds is often built using polyester blends that are easy to maintain with a damp cloth and minimal soap. However, numerous products feature thick external pads that require more frequent deep cleanings to stop bacterial growth. With that said, we recommend checking on your pet’s bed linens twice a month. If your primary issue is shedding fur, a lint roller is your best bet for removing hair without damaging the fabric. In response to more persistent stains, set your washer to its most gentile setting and only use cold water.
What’s the key to applying a suction cup correctly?
Suction cups rely on an unbroken pocket of low air pressure to support lofty weights. While achieving a lasting hold depends significantly on the cleanliness of your anchor point and cup, your choice of surface material is equally important. Exteriors made of glass, tile, and metal are ideal because their surfaces are non-porous and virtually airtight. Before installing your device, clean your mounting surface with rubbing alcohol and your suction cups with warm water. Once both are relatively dry, press down on the cup to remove all air pockets and wait 24 hours to ensure the maximum strength hold.
