Storing potty pads that are dirty?

Yes, a diaper pail is also what my DH suggested.

I pretreat the clean pee pads before putting them on the floor for use. It was a suggestion I read here on Yt a long time ago... Lightly spray with stain/odor solution (pet safe). It keeps odor down while there in use and while waiting to wash.

You are really making it tougher to teach a young puppy to use the pee pad and not other objects if you take away all of the urine scent. These type of products get rid of all the odor, you just want to make it clean smelling to the human nose, not the dog's nose. A puppy needs to learn that it's okay to go where he has gone before.

I use washable pee pads. I put them in a diaper pail after they are rinsed. I wash them every few days.

The diaper pail would probably be the best way to hold soiled washable potty pads. The Kanga wet bag is very small, and would probably only hold a couple of nice size potty pads.
Since I put three pads down at night and keep one down during the day, I wash these each morning and put outside to dry. I put disposible potty pads in the coach when we travel, and when visiting family members.

I use a bin outside on my porch. It's a plastic tub and I throw my pee pads in there until there are about 6-8 dirties and then I wash them. In the summer when is hot, I have to wash more frequently. I add 1/2 cup of borax to my loads these days and it works fantastic to remove any residual odors or stains.

I love my wet bag. After I commissioned you to make mine- I was disappointed when you said you didn't really want to make them for customers as I thought they could be a good seller.

I mentioned making them to sherry a long time ago as well as a good product for her business when she was trying to find a niche - I guess nobody wants to get into the peepad storage business

So what to use then?

Whenever I buy a new pee pad, I wash it with the old pee pads. You won't be able to smell any scent, the pads will smell clean to you, but the pup must smell a scent to train him property.

It's dry here, so we don't have much of a problem, poop is thrown in toilet and pads are folded wet side together, and place in a hamper. I know some people have more odor problems and use the Diaper Genie, and you can also use a little air freshener scent in a covered wastebasket or diaper pail.

I hope T. Bumpkins re-considers making some wet bags because it would be nice to have one that matches all of his things and the one I have is small so I had to buy two and that way I can store more and buy more pads.

Ok, but what about when the pad is out. Or are you saying use vinegar when it is out and tide to wash? Maybe frebreeze?

Nothing. Just change it daily.

I think you can use just regular detergent. I sometimes use vinegar on things that I don't want them to pee on again.

Doesn't a diaper pail still require a liner? you need to transport potty pads from point A to point B ~Especially for people who do not have a washer and drier directly in their homes.
