To make our products as durable and easy to maintain as possible, Woof Seats and Woof Stairs are made out of the highest quality high density foam and all come with removable covers made from pre-shrunk light upholstery Bull Denim fabric which is 100% cotton.
Absolutely, we know how much hair shedding, slobber and muddy paws you have to deal with! The Woof Seat and Stair covers are removable and machine washable on a delicate cold wash. Never use bleach on the products as it can bleed the denim’s colour from the fabric or leave large white spots. You can spot clean your covers with a sponge and cold water between washes. When drying, hang the covers inside out to avoid fading on the clothes line or a drying rack. The covers are not suitable for tumble drying as they may shrink. When ironing, turn your iron on to the low setting and iron the cover to remove any wrinkles. Avoid using a too-hot iron on the cotton setting.
Yes the entire Nap Station cover and inner (plus stuffing) is all washable. You can spot clean your covers with a sponge and cold water between washes especially your Velvet covers wet wipes can also be used. We do however recommend washing your cover and inner separately as the inner (plus stuffing) will need a higher spin cycle to help drain all the water after washing it. We recommend a delicate cold wash cycle. Never use bleach on the products as it can bleed the colour from the fabric or leave large white spots. When drying, hang the fabric covers inside out to avoid fading on the clothes line or a drying rack. When drying the inner (plus stuffing) place it in a well ventilated area and if there is sunlight it will dry a lot quicker. The covers and inners are not suitable for tumble drying as they may shrink. When ironing your cover, turn your iron on to the low setting and iron the cover to remove any wrinkles.

We know that not all pooches are angelic – ever driven past a squirrel when your dog is not securely in place? Things can get a little crazy which is why we designed Woof Seat Clips. The Clips will prevent your dog from jumping out of the seat whenever the inclination strikes. The clips are attached to your vehicles seatbelt on one end and to your dog’s harness on the other. Woof Seat Clips are on average 60cm in length. Clips are sold separately and should only ever be used on the harness, never on a collar.
