Minky

Minky material is often used in the production of baby accessories. This is because it is extremely soft, stretchy and distinguished by its breathable properties. In addition, it is very easy to care for. We use minky in our products with the highest available weights. As a result, our products are sturdier and softer than when using lower weights.

Composition: 100% polyester
The minky is machine washable, at a temperature not exceeding 30 degrees, spin briefly, do not dry clean.

Answer: The hydrophobic coating causes liquids to stay on the surface of the material for a certain period, preventing quick absorption.

Question: How do Pet Friendly mats differ from standard ones?

Answer: Pet Friendly mats are coated with a hydrophobic layer and a layer that inhibits the penetration of fur and dirt into the fabric. This makes them easier to keep clean, which is essential for pet care.

Question: Can the mats replace a litter box?

Answer: Mats do not replace litter boxes; they serve as an additional element to provide a comfortable resting place and protection against accidents. A litter box is still necessary for maintaining hygiene.

Question: How can a waterproof bottom of the mat help?

Answer: A waterproof bottom of the mat is useful when additional protection against mat spills is needed. It is particularly helpful when housing multiple animals in a small space or when an animal tends to urinate in one spot.

Question: I see many nice cage photos where mats are successfully used. How can I maintain such order in my pet's cage?

Answer: The key is the size of the cage. The larger it is and the more freedom the animals have to move around, the easier it is to maintain order. Many people divide the cage or enclosure into two sections: one for play and relaxation, and the other for eating and fulfilling the pet's physiological needs. A highly absorbent bedding is placed in the latter area to effectively protect the floor from getting dirty.
