| Washing the doggy laundry How does everyone wash your doggy laundry? Especially things that have urine on them? |

| Clothing? Beds? I just throw bedding in the washing machine; no differently than human laundry.

| I, too, just throw it all in the washer - but I add about half a cup of baking soda to the regular detergent. I don't know why - but I started out doing that when Lucy was a baby and have continued to this day.

| I throw their bedding in together. Things with urine (like rags I cleaned up accidents with) go in the laundry when I do a load of cleaning rags/towels. I just use my regular detergent.

| i just put it in the washer as well. if it makes you feel better, you can try to rinse the urine off in the sink prior to putting it in the washing machine. i just figure, why do the work when the machine can do it for me!

| I wash their bedding/clothing with their towels and regular laundry detergent. The washable potty pads I wash in a detergent w/ bleach alternative and I put vinegar in a Downy ball for the rinse cycle.

| I wash her clothes in a garment bag on small, gentle with cold water with my regular soap I use for my clothes. I wash her blankets & bedding on gentle but with Arm & Hammer soap and warm/cold or hot/cold water. The rags I use for pee pee accidents go with my other cleaning rags like posted before. I always use gentle cycle on her clothing and blankets/beds because they're all usually hand-made.

| Arm & Hammer detergent here too-I wash their bedding and toys in that. If something has pee or poo on it, usually I spray it with Nature's Miracle and then wash it as normal.

My little Shadow Donating YT Member | I usually soak her pjs, etc before washing in a small bin, cold water. If urine stains, then add a little white vinegar. I just find that soaking helps to loosen any stains which is what I do for any laundry.

| We wash everything thrown all in together, if the urine stain/smell is really bad we'll soak it first with detergent and vinegar.

| I do a Snickers laundry of his bedding and blankets and clothing with my detergent and fabric softener Snuggle. Anything that has been soiled with pee/poop always gets prewashed & soaked in enzyme cleaner for 20 min and then goes in for regular laundry. I heard only washing soiled pieces regularly will not get the smell out. -Vivian |

| I have tons of doggy laundry. I wash all the pee pads with laundry detergent and bleach. I do their bedding separately and our clothes separately. |
