This old bedspread will never get made into a dog bed. After it had lain around for over a month on the floor, I knew I had delusions of upcycling grandeur. Besides, the lining of fluff in the middle would never have held up to washing. I guess that is why the original cleaning directions were to dry clean. I now stay away from those kinds of spreads, because it costs almost as much to dry clean a spread as it does to buy one.
Moreover, I have a king size bed, and a dog that likes to jump on it. That was a no-no years ago in our marriage; but, when I could not sit on the floor and get up easily, that all changed. We crate trained our puppy; and later, I started letting her jump on the bed for cuddles. Therefore, I now buy washable spreads that will fit in my washing machine. It's a matter of being frugal and practical.
Automobiles carry clutter too. While getting out of the car a couple of weeks ago, I grabbed this air freshener that had lost it's scent.
