| Keeping dirty washable pads, Where? I was wondering for those of you that use washable pads, where do you keep the dirty ones till you have a load of them? Do I need to get a container with a lid? What will keep the smell down? I tried doing a search on this every which way I could but only found one thread. It said she kept them in the garage.. I don't have a garage I don't want my home to smell like dirty pee pads, lol. Since I smoke, I can't smell it, but I'm sure visitors can. If you have something that works for this, please share what you use with me! I need something as inexpensive as possible too. |

| why not try a diaper pail for human babies. I think they have a thing in them that you can place a you can put a deoderizer |

Yorkie Lover Donating Member | We place our dirty ones on the patio until we get enough to make a load of laundry.....but even then we usually wash a load of the pads once or twice a week if they are getting alot of use. If you place them in the garage then the garage would smell......so we keep them out in the open air!

| I use a plastic garbabe pail I bought a plastic wastepaper container on sale for $5.99 at Shoprite. It has a swinging lid. I have to wash everyday because I have two boys. We use PoochPads for Mature Dogs (New Product). They hold more peepee. I have to use two at time because Spencer loves to drink. I hose it out on the deck with liquid soap and spray Lysol about once a week. No problems with any odor.

| I don't have any yet, but I plan to get some. I will throw them in the washer and run them through a short cycle to rinse them. Then leave them soaking in water till I throw the next one in and repeat this untill I wash them. |

| Great ideas here! Thanks so much. I'm new to washable pads, as I've been buying disposable ones since I've had Venus. Any more suggestions? |

| On average we'll use one pad a day (Charlie doesn't use them, only Lilly does).... Each morning we rinse out the pad from the day before (usually in the utility sink on the basement) and hang it over the edge of the sink. By the next morning it's dried out so I throw it into a laundry basket and then rinse out the new one..... Rinsing 'em out thoroughly really cuts down on the smell.... Once we have a short stack of 'em we throw them in the washer ('bout once a week or so). |
