My fiancee and I put the foam into laundry bags, it almost worked, but the fine chunks of foam sifted through and made one heck of a mess. (The laundry bag also broke open after 5-6 washes.) We stitched zippers into some pillow cases and had much better results. The pillow cases hold all the foam, and still let the soap and water penetrate and the pet stink out. Recommendations that I'd make: 1. Put a safety pin through the zipper to make sure it doesn't unzip 2. Make sure you have something breathable to put the foam in until you get the naked sac washed. (I'm using the cover.) After picking up one of the nice clean pillowcases full of foam, I'd kind of like to see Lovesac make a regular pillow sized sac. Or maybe I'll just buy a 15 lb bag, fill one myself, and put the rest into my supersac. update: It goes slow, but the foam is cleaning up nicely.

She has separation anxiety issues, and will panic if I even close the door to my room for too long. Her response to panicking is to pee on the furniture. I'm going to try using a couple of mesh laundry bags or pillow covers with zippers sewn into them to wash the foam in batches. My washer can hold three standard pillows at a time, so I'll be using three bags of a similar size. This is just to try and balance out the load so my washer doesn't shake itself to pieces during the spin cycle. I'll also need some garbage bags to store the rest of the foam in while everything is being washed. I'll report back with my results in a couple of days.

Like many here i have had the same luck, and my cat peed on it several times while i was away. If it doesn't fit where can I go wash it? You know a good idea would be that you guys would offer a service to wash our sac's at a cost. :) Hi,

I found this page a few days ago when I was searching for cleaning remedies for my lovesac. Like many of you, my husband and I were dealing with cat urine and odor. We have a moviesac, and I was super frustrated when I realized that Potato (our kitten) had been using it as a secondary litter box. HOWEVER, I found a solution that I wanted to share with everybody. It's called OUT! Oxy-fresh Pet Stain and Odor Remover (or something like that), and it's at Walmart in the pet section. The brand name is OUT! and they have several different products, so make sure you get the "Oxy-fresh" kind written in pink on the bottle. A regular sized spray bottle cost about $3.50, and a jumbo bottle is about $10. I forget how many ounces exactly, sorry. We washed our cover in the machine on delicate cycle, and then doused our naked sac with the spray. Then I opened the sac, sprayed the foam, mixed, sprayed, mixed, etc. After a while I got tired of doing that, so I just dumped the whole bottle of Oxy-fresh into the foam, zipped it up, and fluffed the sac really well. The next morning, I turned the sac over, sprayed again, and dumped another bottle over the top, making sure it soaked into the foam. It wasn't an exact science. Basically I just made sure everything got saturated in the spray, fluffed, and air-dried. This morning, I was surprised to find that the urine odor was not only gone, but the foam actually had that factory-fresh smell again! The new sac smell is a little strong, but much better than the cat pee. Good luck! Hi everybody. I found this page a few days ago when I was searching for cleaning remedies for my lovesac.

OR, just don't have pets.... same rule applies to kids.
