What to use for washing potty pads? Does anyone have any suggestions on what to put in machine for washing potty pads? Or how do you wash them? Thanks so much for your help. Getting my little boy in a few weeks. :aimeeyork |
I use detergent, some Borax powder, and a little Odoban. |
Ty Wylie's Mom Thanks very much . Just didn't know if tide is too strong for him. Want to get everything ready just need to buy food next week. Getting excited. :animal36 |
Congratulations on you new pup! It's kind of like having a baby! I know most pads say don't use chorine bleach or fabric softeners, I just use my regular detergent, but I think I'll try some of the Odoban Ann suggested, one of mine has some pretty strong smelling urine. |
Congratulations on your new family member. I use my super duper homemade laundry detergent and 1/2 cup vinegar. I wash 4 or 5 soiled potty pads at a time in my HE washer using the "heavy soiled" setting with an extra rinse. They come out clean and fresh smelling. I always line dry the already almost dry potty pads. If it's raining, I simply throw them over the shower door to finish drying. |
I use Gain and Febreze in laundry odor eliminator. I have to say that these washable pads are the best thing since sliced bread. I just started using them two weeks ago. They are wonderful! |
Thanks everyone. Sorry for all the questions what brand of odoban do you use , didn't know there were many to choose. Thanks everyone get my puppy in 9 days. Thanks very much for all your knowledge. I am getting excited . A lot of things I am sure I will pick up as I go. Planning on sleeping on floor right beside his pen , until we get the potty thing down and he gets used to being in a new home. I don't want him to be scared . Of course during the day he can walk around . Only at night at bedtime he will be in his pen. Again I very much appreciate all your knowledge . Enjoy your angels and long life to all of them. :animal-pa |
I use my homemade detergent, but I really think it helps to put vinegar in the rinse water. Then I line dry. |
I used Listerine mouthwash. I have also used baking soda with detergent and vinegar with detergent. |

Will have to pick up some Odoban next time I'm in USA. We don't seem to have this product in Canada... |

I always use plain white vinegar as 'fabric softener' even in my own laundry. It's a chemical reaction where the acid (vinegar) neutralizes the base (detergent) and ensures all the soap is removed from the fabric, so it's 'softer'. Vinegar is also great for removing odours and killing bacteria! |
Washing potty pads. Thanks very much I will get the citrus. I will also try vinegar in wash as well. Does vinegar make clothes soft ummm , I am going to try it. Also I like the fact that it helps getting the soap out of the fabric. :D |

A huge note of thanks Thanks very much . :) |
I use vinegar on our clothes in the rinse cycle instead of a fabric softener. It makes our clothes soft, I have been doing this for years. |
Congrats:) I also use detergent soap and some antibacterial spray to erase the bad smell. |
I am thinking of trying the washable potty pads, does anyone have any suggestions as which ones are best and the best place to purchase them? I have only used disposable, and its getting costly, as my darling Zoe' doesn't want to go on them if they are wet (LOL) just a litle spoiled:confused: :aimeeyork:animal-pa luvmyZo. |
Washing potty pads. Brace yourself , I went to purchase washable potty pads and almost had a heart attack. Wow! They are 24 dollars for 2 . lol Very expensive. And as for the vinegar I bought a gallon jug today food shopping white distilled and I used it in my clothes yesterday , they seemed so much cleaner and no vinegar smell like I thought there would be and way cheeper than my snuggles , and I love snuggles fabric softener. So yes I will be using that from now on. Thanks again for the tip. :) |
I use ordinary liquid laundry detergent, the cheapest brand I can get, and don't aim to get the odor completely out since it attracts the dogs to go back to that place to eliminate. Yes, the pads can be very expensive. The ones I get on Ebay are recycled ones that were previously used in medical settings. They're very economical. |
Question Sorry to ask yet another question to all of you. I have an xpen and want to put something under it for accidents that is waterproof . Someone posted to buy these foam squares which I did today in walmart. Looked up the materials online since they weren't listed on pack and they contain eva which contains form amide . So those are going right back. Don't want anything unsafe near my little boy. Does anything have anything else they would suggest to put under xpen. I plan on putting a tarp then a waterproof something on top of that. Again your input is very much appreciated. Thanks so very much. Sorry for asking so many questions. Thanks everyone. |

Ty Nancy Yes and thanks for the tips. I ordered a waterproof seat cover its washable and you just wipe it off and figured I would buy a tarp to put under seat cover and when I don't need it I wash it and put it in my car so it has dual purpose. I do think I will go to joanne's and pick up some of that plastic to have on hand in case. 9 more days till I have my little boy . Getting so excited. :) First time having my own puppy . Once he is somewhat trained he can stay out of the open at night. I am only putting him in there at night till he gets trained. Hopefully , that will go good. The breeder is working with him on it also. Thanks again and have a good day. Hello to your babies also. :aimeeyork |
On the topic of washable potty pads, I came across this clear DIY on how to make your own! Am contemplating making some myself. HowTo: DIY Reusable Potty Pads lsd989 they've included the materials used for the absorbing layer and the waterproof layer, which might be helpful to you. |
Potty pads I'm wanted to get my yorkies off the potty pads and to going outside . I have a fenced in area now. How is the best way to start . I've been taking them out and lots of praise but they use the pads some times. Should I pull the pads up completely or leave one down. Just don't want to completely confuse them to the point they go any where |

...it may be good to let them have an indoor potty pad option anyway for those rainy days? |
