I don't think they cared. Animals were always in the house. Ever heard of a
3Dog Night? That meant the dogs slept on the bed to help heat the bed. So
they wouldn't have worried about the air, would be my guess.
With servants to do such mundaine ork, maybe they did the tiddying up of
velvets and woolens.

How on earth did medieval and renaissance folks keep their velvets and
wools from looking like barnyard bedding? Surely even the servants of the
wealthy had better things to do than pick cat hairs off the master's
gowns? I've got two lint rollers and I just can't keep up with my two
ginger tabbies. And no, they're not allowed in the costumes, but the hair
gets there anyway.
What do the rest of you do to keep your period clothing clean?
