Not only does it help the environment (we still use paper for travel and emergencies, etc.), but she has such awesome patterns that they look better in the house than blue pads and many patterns don't even show the spots. |
I have ordered a washable potty pad for my rescue Chi. I don't like putting all that plastic in the environment! My little Chi loves a blanket and she has several that she sleeps in. They get pee-pee on them and sometimes poo-poo when they are in her crate. I remove anything solid and then rinse the blanket and wash in my washing machine. I don't put bleach in with the blankets, but do run a rinse cycle in the washer afterwards with bleach. You could get a diaper pail and put Borax in it and soak the potty pads before putting them in your washer. I'm not concerned about washing the blankets and/or potty pads in my washing machine. I've lived with dogs for many years and have never had any problems getting anything bad from them. I mop my kitchen tile a lot and shampoo the carpets and keep blankets, etc., washed. I survived two kids and don't think this is much different.
