I pre-soak in 20 Mule Team Borax, then use Odoban in the wash. There is no lingering urine smell and I have a very sensitive nose. I can put my face right up to them and they pass the sniff test!

Thank you for the info. But what about the urine smell as the pup is using them. When they are laying on the floor. No urine smell???

I use washable pads (and sell them, too) and I haven't noticed that they smell anymore than the paper ones.

I too, recommend both outside training and potty pad training. It sure saves standing outside in the rain trying to get them to go.

To wash them I always do a short prewash cycle to get the bulk of the urine out before running them through a regular wash. If after prolonged use they start to retain an odor you can use OdoBan in the last rinse and it takes it away.
