Just putting in my two cents. I don't plan on using washable pee pads. I had thought about it at first, but so far he is doing great at going outside. I am planning on using cloth diapers with my next baby. I have been on several forums and listened to the advice of many moms who cloth diaper. You are not supposed to use bleach b/c it breaks down the material fairly quickly. Some people will use a tablespoon here and there, but no more than that. You are also not supposed to use fabric softener b/c it can cause the fabric to not absorb properly. I am assuming that all of this would apply with a washable pee pad too. Also, as someone else stated, you put alot worse than dog pee into the wash with children, such as diarea, vomit ect.. Just my two cents. HTH
