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  |
Pooch Pads washing instructions tell you not to use fabric softener and only to use one ounce of bleach per full load.
It's amazing what we do for our furbabies, isn't it? I have quite a bit of the "eeeew" factor about washable pee pads, actually pee pads in general, but when I was in a bad car accident awhile ago I had to train Lady to use pads because I couldn't take her out. I got hooked on them! Recently she's developed some diabetic neuropathy in her hind legs so when she would try to circle before she peed, the disposable pads would get bunched up in her legs. She started going right next to the pads instead so I broke down and bought the washable pads a few months ago. If you run a bleach cycle through the washer after you've washed the pads, it really does sanitize your washer.
