Sisal, woven surfaces, and wooden frames.
Choosing a piece
Look at the surface and the structure separately. A product can combine several materials.
Rope is wrapped around a ball or post to form a fibrous scratching surface.
Remove loose debris gently and inspect the rope, fastenings and frame for wear. Ask for the selected model’s care instructions before washing.
Coiling builds a surface in rows; weaving interlaces strands. Selected products combine sisal with fabric or foam.
Check the whole construction, including the base and edge. A sisal label does not mean every component is sisal or that the piece can be soaked.
Exposed corrugated edges form the scratching surface. Cat-house shells may use board materials, including density board.
Keep corrugated board dry. Inspect the surface for peeling and loose pieces. Check whether a removable core is available for the exact design.
Camp-bed listings include different mat and fabric options. A woven appearance does not identify the fibre by itself.
One listing specifies wiping, while soft-cover listings specify washing. Confirm the instruction for your selected cover, rather than using one rule for every bed.
Selected camp beds combine a wooden frame with a faux-fur cover. Covers and complete beds are separate options.
The source lists washing for selected soft covers. Confirm removal, washing temperature and drying instructions before cleaning; do not assume the frame is washable.
