Dog bed unsuitable

[PassiveAgressiveQueen]

I bought a dog bed on ebay, when it arrived i realised it was made differently to all other dog beds, it was one big item, didn't think much of it.
The dog sat on it almost instantly and got it dirty. Now i realise it won't go in my 9kg (so not small) washing machine (instructions said it was washable).

Can i do anything?

No. there's nothing wrong with it, but it's been used and is dirty, of course you can't do anything!

Just because it's won't fit in your washing machine doesn't mean it's not washable.

On the flip side, if it was in the same condition as when you recieved it, and you bought it from a business seller then yes you could return it. If it was a private seller however, they would be under no obligation to accept a non fault return.

it is a business seller, I was hoping "not fit for purpose", as what use is a dog bed you can't wash in winter?

But you can, just not in your washer. Being washable just means the fabric is washable. A king size duvet it washable but won't fit in your washing machine, that doesn't make it not fit for purpose.

^^ this.

You're being ridiculous.

If you want to wash it take it to a laundrette.

I deny i am being ridiculous, overly optimistic maybe, hopeful.

Ok honest question what would you now do with a £30 dog bed that is going to cost you £5 every week to wash?

Buy an un-zippable cover for it and wash the cover every week problem solved,either that or stop your dog from going to undesirable places like I do.

Not for a the poor seller to accept a return when they'res nothing wrong with it and he won't be able to re sellit because you let your muddy dog get in it before deciding it wasn't suitable for your needs.

force not "for a"

Can't you just wash in the bath?

Cover it up with a cheap duvet and duvet cover that you can wash easily, Passive.

We think she is incontinent as well as arthritic.

Wash it in a plastic tub.

One of ours has occasional incontinence too, and having a cheap washable duvet really works.
