Because dogs are hyperactive animals, they are constantly running around and love to dig in your backyard or roll on the ground, so with this type of activity your dog is having, expect to have some very dirty chihuahua clothes. This is one of the reasons why, as a dog owner, you should buy dog clothes from time to time. You can never expect that within a month the clothes you bought for your pet will still be intact, unless your dog is the type that sleeps all day and does nothing.
Second, with this energetic activity that your dog enjoys, prepare yourself for smelly, stained clothing. Smelly dog clothes and stains are very difficult to remove. There are techniques that you should consider before proceeding to clean your chihuahua’s clothes. To help you in this task, here are the guidelines you must follow so that your dog’s clothes are odorless and free of stains:
• If you plan to wash this dog clothes in your washing machine, please separate it from other knitted or crocheted dog clothes. Knit and crochet dog outfits should be hand washed and not machine washed. If you machine wash these types of garments, they are easily destroyed. The stitches will unravel and it’s not a pretty sight once you’re done washing it.
• Also, washing knitted and crocheted dog suits should be done carefully. Don’t rub it. To make the stain easy to remove, soak the clothing in soapy water first. The solution will make the stain clear and easy to remove. You can use bleach for best results.
Make sure the bleach you use suits the type of clothes you will be washing. If the fabric is white, use white fabric bleach. Do not use this type of bleach on colored fabrics, as it can damage colored dog clothes. Use bleach suitable for colored clothing.
• Follow the same procedure if you plan to wash Chihuahua clothes in your washing machine.
• To make sure the odor goes away, use a scented soap. Then add a scented fabric conditioner to make the dog’s clothes soft and comfortable to wear.
