washing sheets twice a week because of the dog... is there a better system?
I washed my sheets this morning and my dog has already left a damp paw-licking spot on the bed. This is somehow my normal life now. We wipe paws after walks, brush him before bed, and keep a lint roller next to the nightstand, but the sheets still start feeling dirty after a few days. Weekly washing sounds nice in theory, but by day three the bed already has fur, dirt, and that faint dog smell. For people who let dogs sleep in the bed, are you actually washing the main sheets every few days?
Do you use a washable top blanket, a separate dog layer, or some other system that keeps the bed from turning into a second dog bed?
