I use washable pads and love them! I make and sell them, too! My dogs have a doggie door but when the weather is bad they refuse to go out and use the pad.
I always do a short pre-wash (without detergent) then do a regular wash with detergent when I launder them. I don't have problems with lingering smells. I store them folded in fourths with the dirty side in stacked in the garage until they are washed. When I get about 4 or 5 then I do a load. I would never go back to paper!
